الحلو حياتي [Alhulu hayati] [English translation]

The sweet one is my life and soul, and what can I say to him?

If I say I love him, love is but little for him.

He's my life and soul, what can I say to him?

The sweet precious one has busied my mind.

And I've no idea what's happened to me,

nor can I tell him about the state I am in

without him telling me and I telling him

in my eyes and heart all the longing.

And the sweet one is my life and soul, and what can I say to him?

If I say I love him, love is but little for him.

He's my life and soul, what can I say to him?

The sweet one, his sweetness in my eyes

from the extent of my longing always keeps increasing.

And the world sings around me

without him telling me and I telling him

in my eyes and heart all the longing.

And the sweet one is my life and soul, and what can I say to him?

If I say I love him, love is but little for him.

He's my life and soul, what can I say to him?
