كل اصحابي فلو [Heba Tawaji Kel ashabi falo] [English translation]

I cannot forget the faces of the people who went absent

And even the heart grows harsh even on its owners1

All my friends left, they became a memory of the past

And their pictures remained on this empty wall

All its friends went absent, they got lost in these lands

Their pictures remained in this past age

I wish we had never met, and that our eyes hadn't cried

I wish we hadn't had a farewell and waved our hands

Life was at the beginning of the road and the wine glass was still grapes

And we were young, young

Isolation grew in us and the homeland became the greatest

Oh, darling, how I wish we could go back to the past and become young

Darling, the world is big, in its beaches there's decorations and jealousy

And its boats are many faces and [it is] a wide sea

Come back to me so that we can stay up in these darknesses, forget to grow up and get lost in our homeland

I wish we had never met, and that our eyes hadn't cried

I wish we hadn't had a farewell and waved our hands
