بيع قلبك [Beei3 2albak] [English translation]

Sell your heart, sell your affection.. See who buys them

See who will keep up a promise like mine [to you] after I'm gone

The promise that looked after you.. and the heart that sacrificed [itself] for you

Its days are worth years.. See who the buyer will be..

Before you forget the precious promise.. Think for one night and bring back1 its nights

See who, other than us, spent nights that live on through my youth in it2

You will see the steps of my heart and yours waiting there

Holding back for me a word that remained from you and the time I was with you

And What can I do, tell me, when you only remember me to abandon me? What can I do?

Sell your heart, sell your affection.. See who buys them

See who will keep up a promise like mine [to you] after I'm gone

The promise that looked after you.. and the heart that sacrificed [itself] for you

Its days are worth years.. See who the buyer will be..

You say that the fire [of my love] has made your heart grow weary.. Isn't that the fire in whose paradise your love

was flying and drifting?

Why are you now going away from it, why?

Why are you now escaping from it, why?

Today is just like yesterday

Abandon me as you like and forget me.. Eventually days will bring you back

And What can I do, tell me, when you only remember me to abandon me? What can I do?

Sell your heart, sell your affection.. See who buys them

See who will keep up a promise like mine [to you] after I'm gone

The promise that looked after you.. and the heart that sacrificed [itself] for you

Its days are worth years.. See who the buyer will be..

It would make me happy if you go away from me.. And try to love someone else

See who would love you more.. if he went through what I went through with you

Build his hopes up and tear them down.. And keep track of and count his tears

And then come and tell me after that whether he or I is your lover

And What can I do, tell me, when you only remember me to abandon me? What can I do?

Sell your heart, sell your affection.. See who buys them

See who will keep up a promise like mine [to you] after I'm gone

The promise that looked after you.. and the heart that sacrificed [itself] for you

Its days are worth years.. See who the buyer will be..
