بحر//BAHR

بحر
يا ليل إحجبني حجبني بعتمتك 
يا ليل إملئني قويني بعتمتك 
أخوي شاف السر شاف السر كان حيبوح 
أخوي جوا الموج جوا الموج عمبينوح 

والصيادين نائمين 

يا بحر رجعلي رجعلي أخوي 
الموج سرقلي خطفلي أخوي 
اخذته حد البحر خلي الموج يطهره 
أخذته حد البحر دبغت الموج بدمه 

والصيادين غافلين خامدين نائمين 

أخوي مع الحورية 
رجعوه لي 
الموج أخذلي أخوي 
رجعوه لي 

أخوي راح مع الفجر 
لسا ما عاد لي 
أخوي بقعر البحر 

لسا ما عاد لي 
Bahr (The Sea)
Oh night, shroud me; veil me with your darkness
Oh night, impregnate me; empower me with your darkness
My brother saw the secret; saw the secret he would've revealed
My brother, seized by the waves, seized by the waves as he squealed
And the fishermen just slept

Oh Poseidon return to me, return to me my brother
The waves have swindled me; have robbed me of my brother
I took him to the shore, so the waves may wash him clean,
And there upon that shore, stained the waves incarnadine.
And the fishermen just slept

My brother lies with the mermaids, bring him back to me
My brother was stolen by the waves, won’t you bring him back to me
My brother left me with the break of dawn, never to return to me
He lies upon the ocean floor, never to return to me
