Translation
I feel like a princess
When I hold him close
A kind heart, warm, pure, sensitive, and tender
Words can’t describe
There’s nothing left to say
Just come, I long to see you
With those deep, dark eyes
My nights, my nights
Without you they’re lonely nights
But near you, my love, oh my heart
I turn into a child
My state, my state
You live deep inside my mind
Everything becomes beautiful
And I fly away
I imagined you
The promise of my awaited life
I hid you
In eyes that stayed awake with longing
You promised me
You’ll be my support when we’re old
My partner with grey hair
Tomorrow, when backs bend with time
You’ll always stay by my side
My nights, my nights
Without you they’re lonely nights
But near you, my love, oh my heart
I turn into a child
My state, my state
You live deep inside my mind
Everything becomes beautiful
And I fly away
It hurts me to see you but not be able to greet you
Not to smell your hands, nor touch them
Afraid not to see your words
Your kindness, your eagerness, your care
It hurts me, my state
But still, I’m happy this way
My nights, my nights
Without you they’re lonely nights
But near you, my love, oh my heart
I turn into a child
My state, my state
You live deep inside my mind
Everything becomes beautiful
And I fly away
Arabic Lyrics
متل الاميرة بحس
لما بحضنو بكون
ياقلب طيب دافي صافي حساس وحنون
يعجز أبو الامتال
مافي حكي بينقال
برؤياك يلا تعال
كحلي هالعيون
ليلي ليلي
ببعدك حالك ليلي
بقربك يا حب ويلي
طفلة بصير
حالي حالي
يا ساكن بالي بالي
كلشي بيحلالي
وبطير
تخيلتك
وعد عمري المنتظر
خبيتك
بعيون رافقها السهر
وعدني
تكون عكاز الكبر
وشريك شيبات الشعر
بكرى وقت يحنى الظهر
ظلك مرافقتك
ليلي ليلي
ببعدك حالك ليلي
بقربك يا حب ويلي
طفلة بصير
حالي حالي
يا ساكن بالي بالي
كلشي بيحلالي
وبطير
بعز عليي شوفك ما اقدر سلم عليك
ولا اقدر شم كفوفك ولا المس ايديك
اوعى وما شوف حروفك
عطفك لهفتك خوفك
وبعز عليي حالي
بس مبسوطة بحالي هيك
ليلي ليلي
ببعدك حالك ليلي
بقربك يا حب ويلي
طفلة بصير
حالي حالي
يا ساكن بالي بالي
كلشي بيحلالي
وبطير
