 كـُـلُّ عـَـامٍ وأنتِ حـَـبـيـبـتــي 

Every year, you are my Love

كـُـلُّ عـَـامٍ وأنــا حـَـبـيـبــُــكِ

Every year, I am your Love

آهٍ يـَـا سـَـيـّـدتـِـي لـَـو كـانَ الأمـْــرُ بـيـَـدِي

Oh, my Lady, If it were my choice, 

إذاً لـَـصـَــنــَــعـــتُ سـَــنــَــة ً لـكــِي وَحـْــدَكِ 

I would create a year for you 

تــُـفـــَـصــِّــلـيــنَ أيــَّــامــَـهــَــا كـمـَـا تــُـريــديــن  

To distribute its days as you like 

وتــُـســنــِـديــنَ ظــَــهــْـرَكِ عـلـى أسـَــابـيــعـِـهــَــا كـمَـا تــُريـديــن 

And to lean your back to its weeks as you like  

وتــتــشــمـَّـســِـي … وتــَـرقــُـصــِـي … وتــَـركــُــضـِـين 

And to sun .. to dance .. and run 

عـلـى رمـَــالِ شــُـهــُـورِهــَــا كـمَـا تــُـريــديـــن

On the sand of its months as you like 

كــُــلُّ عـَــامٍ وأنـتــِـي حـَـبـيـبـتـِـي

Every year, you are my Love 

أقــُـولــُـهــَــا لكي عـلـى طــريـقــتــِــي  

I say it my way

رافــِــضــًا كــُــلَّ الـعــِـبــَــاراتِ الــكــِــلاســيــكــيــّــةِ الـتـي  

Rejecting all the classic sentences that 

يـُــردّدهــَــا الــرّجــَــالُ عـلـى مَـسـَــامـِــع الـنــِّــســَــاءِ  

Men repeat in the ears of women 

كـُـلُّ عـَـامٍ وأنتِ حـَـبـيـبـتــي .. حـَـبـيـبـتــي 

Every year, you are my Love .. my Love 

سَــوفَ لــَـنْ نــَـشــتــري هــَــذا الـعــِـيــد شــجـــرة  

We will not buy a tree this year 

ســتــكــُــونــيــن أنـتــِــي الــشــَّــجــَــرَة 

You will be the Tree 

وســَـأعـَــلـــِّــقُ عــَــلــيــكِ أمـْــنــيـــَــاتـِـي  

And I will hang my wishes onto you

 ودعـَــوَاتــِــي .. وقــَــنــَـــادِيــلَ دُمـُــوعــِــي 

My prayers .. and the lights of my tears 

كــُــلُّ عـَــامٍ وأنـتــِـي حـَـبـيـبـتـِـي  

Every year, you are my Love
