Haram Aleyk: Have pity (mercy)

Arabic Lyrics	English Lyrics
Yabni khalass mish kidda	Kid, that's enough, that's not the way
Haram Aleyk kouli da	That's a shame all of this
Mish kiffaya leil w'nahar	Isn't it enough that night and day
Khaletli a'li tar	You make me go crazy
Ana meen, Ana fein, Ana ley, ana eh	Who am I, Where am I, For what am I, What am I?
Albi byebki ley?	Why does my heart cry?
W'inta assi 'alley	And you are so hard on him (heart)
W'ley bita'mel kidda?	Why do you do that?
Te'bti albi ey	You have tired my heart
Balef warak ya walad	I run after you, kid (expression not meaning kid like in English)
Men dar li dar li dar	From place to place to place
Da Albi aleb nar	My heart is on fire
Min el ghorba	From being away from you
Ana meen, ana fein, ye'ni khalass	Who am I, Where am I? this means it's over
