خايف أقول اللي في قلبي [Khayef A2ool Elli Fi Albi] [English translation]

I’m afraid to say what’s in my heart

Lest you become cold1 and obstinate with me

And if I hid 2 my love from you

My eyes would expose3 my longing

Your specter visited me

At my bedside before I loved you

Made me lust for you by association and left me

Busy4 in thought about you

Busy about you

I want to blame him

But I’m afraid

He’ll go and tell that I love you

1. literally ‘get heavy’2. literally humored as in ‘if I humored my heart’ or ‘if I played it off’ 3. literally scandalize4. literally just ‘busy with you’
