Melhem Zein - بعشقك كلك (Ba'sha'ak Kelak) (English translation)

Arabic

Original lyrics

بعشقك كلك

أول وآخر حب جواتي

تقبر عينيي ضحكة عيونِك

صرتي بحياتي قطعة من ذاتي

وصاير أنا بالحب مجنونك

وحياة عينك بعشقك كلك

والروح لو وقعت ما رح لِمّا

بالمختصر من قلبي عم قلك

شوكي بعين لشاف و ما سمّا

وجودك أساسي وتاج ع راسي

وجودك بقلبي ما إلو نهاية

كبيرة بعيني صعب تنقاسي

غيرك ما عندي بالدني غاية

وحياة عينك بعشقك كلك

والروح لو وقعت ما رح لِمّا

بالمختصر من قلبي عم قلك

شوكي بعين لشاف و ما سمّا

English

Translation

The first & the last love inside me

Kills1 my eyes the laugh of your eyes

You became in my life a piece of my own self

And I'm becoming with love your lunatic2

By your eyes I love the whole of you,

And the soul if it fell down, I wouldn't pick it

In short, from all my heart I'm telling you.

A thorn to the eye of whoever see you & not say "masha' Allah"3

Your presence is essential & a crown on my head

Your presence in my heart is infinite (has no end)

(You) great in my eyes & hard to put to scale (quantize)

Other than you I have no purpose in life

By your eyes I love the whole of you,

And the soul if it fell down, I wouldn't pick it

In short, from all my heart I'm telling you.

A thorn to the eye of whoever see you & not say "masha' Allah"
