Fairuz Song 'Habbaytak Bil-Saif' Translated into English by Dr. Ramzi Salti [I Loved You in the Summer]

Fairuz: Habbaytak Bil-Saif [I Loved You in the Summer]	فيروز – حبيتك بالصيف
On a cold winter day	بأيام البرد وأيام الشتي
When the pavement becomes a lake and the streets are drowning	والرصيف بحيرة والشارع غريق
A girl would come from her old house	تجي هاك البنت من بيتها العتيق
He would tell her "wait for me," so she would wait in the street	ويقلا انطريني وتنطرعالطريق
He would leave and forget her while she withered in the rain.	ويروح وينساها و تدبل بالشتي
I loved you in the summer, I loved you in the winter	حبيتك بالصيف حبيتك بالشتي
I waited for you every summer, I waited for you every winter	نطرتك بالصيف نطرتك بالشتي
Your eyes became my summer, mine became your winter	وعيونك الصيف وعيوني الشتي
Our meeting place my love will be beyond seasons and time.	ملقانا يا حبيبي خلف الصيف وخلف الشتي
A stranger passed by and gave me a letter	مرقت الغريبة عطيتني رسالة
Written by my beloved with tears of sadness	كتبها حبيبي بالدمع الحزين
I opened the letter, but the words were missing	فتحت الرسالة حروفها ضايعين
Then the days flew by while the years sealed our fate	ومرقت الأيام وغربتنا سنين
And any trace of that letter was erased by the rain.	وحروف الرسالة محيها الشتي

Here are the Arabic lyrics, transliterated by Ramzi Salti:

Bi-iyyam al-bard, bi-iyyam al-shiti

Wa al-raseef bu7aira, wa al-shari3 ghareeq

Tiji hayk al-bint, min baytya al-3ateeq

Wa yaqul laha "Unturini"

Wa tontor 3al-tareeq

Wa yru7 wa yinsaha

Wa tidhbal bil-shiti

Habbaytak bil-sayf, habbaytak bil shiti

Natartak bil-sayf, natartak bil shiti

Wa 3uyunak al-saif, was 3uyuni al-shiti

Wa mal2ana ya habibi 

Khalf al-sayf wa khalf al-shiti

Mar3it al-ghariba, 3atyatni risala

Katabha habibi bil-dam3 al-7azin

Fata7t al-rosala, 7ruf-ha Day3in

Wa mara2it iyyam wa gharrabatna sneen

Wa-7ruf al-risala...Mi7iha al-shiti

Habbaytak bil-sayf, habbaytak bil shiti

Natartak bil-sayf, natartak bil shiti

Wa 3uyunak al-saif, was 3uyuni al-shiti

Wa mal2ana ya habibi 

Khalf al-sayf wa khalf al-shiti
