ضي القناديل [Dhai Elkanadeel] [English translation]

The glow of the street

The glow of the streetlights and the long street

It reminded me,darling of the beautiful date

And of the nights ,and the streetlights stayed up late with us ,my darling

Oh foggy street ,I walked along you once in torment

And once in happiness

I walked along you while my love asked me about my path

In the blackness of night and the road and my heart

Under the streetlights we complained and the weak light wept

We talked and talked with tears in our eyes

Going ,going and don't ask about us

The glow of the streetlights and the long street

The years passed us ,you and me together

From a strange breath and our near days

We longed and yearned for a beloved step

Under the streetlights we complained and the weak light wept

We talked and talked with tears in our eyes

Going ,going and don't ask about us

The glow of the streetlights and the long street
