Natacha Atlas - Gafsa Lyrics

Habet Riyahel Hobi fi bali
The breeze of romance started
Blowing in my mind tahdeeni Salam el habib
Present me with the peace of my sweetheart
Tigouli 'Erja3 ya Ghali
You will say 'Return my precious
Ta3lel fourag wal il gharib'
Forget the separation and the strangeness

Goulet Hayali "Sharadat Hali
My imagination will say 'I wonder aimlessly
Wa gounet manali sa3eed
And my ambition will be happy
Wa ttalet min bourja3 il 3ali
And she appeared from the high towers
Wou Galet Kilamah Ghareeb
And said strange words

Erja3 ya Hobb return my love
Mali fi dounya naseeb
I don't have luck (destiny) in this world
Inta hobi lakin you are my love then
Mish moumkin tkouni halali
But it is impossible that you will be mine
Ah lel oh night

Ya 3ayni, ya
Oh my eye, oh (Arabic term of endearment)
