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
