اسكندراني
آه يا واد يا اسكندراني
آه يا واد يا اسكندراني
آه يا واد يا اسكندراني
آه يا واد يا اسكندراني
دي عينيك بتقولي بس
قلبك بيقولي ثاني
ومحدش فيا حس
آه يا واد يا اسكندراني رماني الشوق يا واد
غرقني ع الموانئ ذوبني في البعاد
ده أنا قلبي اسكندراني ... وعيوني اسكندراني
وهوايا اسكندراني ... وحبيبي اسكندراني
آه يا واد يا اسكندراني
دي عينيك بتقولي بس
قلبك بيقولي تاني
ومحدش فيا حس
تبيعني في الليالي وتفوتني في النهار
وتقول الصبر غالي وأنا أقول البعد نار
ما الشط اسكندراني ... والبحر اسكندراني
والليل اسكندراني ... وحبيبي اسكندراني
آه يا واد يا اسكندراني
دي عينيك بتقوللي بس
قلبك بيقولي تاني
ومحدش فيا حس

Translation
Alexandrian
Oh Alexandrian one
Your eyes say 'enough'
but your heart says 'more'
And nobody felt me
Oh Alexandrian one, longing wrecked me
It drowned me by the piers, It melted me in [your] distance
My heart is Alexandrian.. My eyes Alexandrian
My passion Alexandrian... and my love Alexandrian
Oh Alexandrian one
Your eyes say 'enough'
but your heart says 'more'
And nobody felt me
You forsake me in the nights and abandon me in day
You say that patience is precious and I say that the distance is [like] fire
The beach is Alexandrian.. and the sea is Alexandrian
And the night is Alexandrian.. and my love is Alexandrian
Oh Alexandrian one
Your eyes say 'enough'
but your heart says 'more'
And nobody felt me
- 1. This would would literally translate to 'boy', and here it is used to actually mean 'oh Alexandrian girl'. This how insane colloquial Arabic can be sometimes. 'One' is a logical compromise, he is definitely addressing a girl though.
