Lyrics
Original Arabic Lyrics
كحلة الأشفار
ريتو اللّي صار
في عاشق ممحون
هايم محتار
آه يا لا لا لي يا لال
كحلة الأشفار
شوات المكنون
بخزرة كالنّار
آه يا لا لا لي يا لال
هواها غدّار
والعذاب يهون
لو تصفى نهار
آه يا لا لا لي يا لال
English Translation
Raven Lashes
Have you heard about the rift?
Of a hopeless lover,
Clueless and adrift,
Ah Yalali Ya Lal.
The girl with the raven lashes
Has tormented the mystic lover
With her gleaming gaze, to ashes,
Ah Yalali Ya Lal.
Her insidious devotion,
And the torture, would be fair
If she just, one day, would display her honest emotion,
Ah Yalali Ya Lal.
