Song Sawach - סווח in Hebrew

סוואח או מאשי פי אל בלאד סוואח ואל חאטווה ביני או בין חביבי בראח מישוואר בעיד ואנא פיה גריב ואל לייל יארב ואל נהאר ראווח ואין לאאקום חביבי סאלימו לי עליה טאמנוני אל אסמאראני עאמלה איה אל גורבה פיה
A wanderer, walking through the lands—a wanderer. And the step between me and my beloved is wide open. A long journey, and I'm a stranger in it. O Lord, the night—and the day departs. And if you find my beloved, greet him for me. Reassure me: how is the dark-skinned one doing in this exile?
סוואח ואנא מאשי לייאלי סוואח ולא דארי בחאלי סוואח מן פוראה יא גאלי סוואח איה אילי גראלי סוואח
A wanderer, I walk through nights—a wanderer. Unaware of my own state—a wanderer. From separation, my dear—a wanderer. What has happened to me?—a wanderer.
וסנין... וסנין ואנא דאיב שוא' וחנין אעייז אערף בס טריקו מנין
And years... and years, I'm melting with longing and yearning. I just want to know how to reach his way.
ואין לאאקום חביבי סאלימו לי עליה טאמנוני אל אסמאראני עאמלה איה אל גורבה פיה
And if you find my beloved, greet him for me. Reassure me: how is the dark-skinned one doing in this exile?
יא עיוני... אה יא עיוני איה גראלק...? פין אינתה...? ובתעמל איה?
O my eyes... ah, my eyes. What happened to you? Where are you? And what are you doing?
יא ט'נוני.. אה יא ט'נוני מה תסיבוני מש נאא'ס אנא חאיירה עליה לא אנא עארף ארתאח ואנא תאיה סוואח
O my doubts... ah, my doubts, don't leave me. I'm already at my limit—confused over him. I can't find rest, I'm lost, a wanderer.
יא אמר יא נאסיני רסיני עאלי גאייב נוואר לי.. וריני סקת אל חבאייב וסיתק וסיה יא שאהיד אלייא תחקי לו עאלי ביה ואילי א'אסיתו פי לייאליא
O moon, you who make me lose my head over the one who's away, light for me, show me the path to the beloved. Your silence is a trust, O witness to me, tell him about me and what I've endured in my nights.
וסנין... וסנין ואנא דאיב שוא' וחנין אעייז אערף בס טריקו מנין
And years... and years, I'm melting with longing and yearning. I just want to know how to reach his way.
