I'm looking for the lyrics:) I have no idea why I couldn't find the lyrics of so popular song nowhere in the internet.

I can't remember where I found this [Shira.net] so I can't credit it but this is what I have in my files:


Bitwannes Beek by Warda

Lyrics
Arabic Lyrics English Lyrics

Part I:

Batwanes beek wa enta m'aya I cherish your company when you are with me
Batwanes beek wa bala'i fi 'orbek dunyaya I cherish your company and I find my world when you are close to me

Chorus:

Lama 'et'arab 'ana batwanes beek When you get close I cherish your company
Wa lama beteb'ad 'ana batwanes beek When you are far I feel your presence
Wa khayalek bikoun wayaya wayaya And your image is with me
Wa enga'h soutek, soutek bewanasni And the thought of your voice comforts me
Wa hawak fil bou'd, fil bou'd beyahrousni And your love protects me from far away
Wa shouq 'enadilek gouwaya And love is calling you from deep inside me
Wana, wana, wana, wana, wana, wana, And me, and me, and me, and me, and me, and me
'Ana 'ana 'ana 'ana 'ana 'ana Me, me, me, me, me, me
Betwanas beek wa 'enta ma'aya I cherish your company when you are with me

Part II:

Bitmour s'at ba'ad louana Hours pass after our rendezvous
Wa rouh liwugudek 'atchana And my soul is thirsty claiming your presence
Tewahashni 'ayneek I miss your eyes so much
Wa bal' edounya ba'it fadya And though the world seems empty
Ma'a 'eni enaas rayha wa gaya Even though the crowds are coming and going
Wa ana bahlem beek I am dreaming of you

'Ala toul fi khayali banadeelek I am always calling for you
Wa ba'oul ya 'atgini ya hagilek And I tell myself either you come to me or I'll come to you
Men gheer mawa'id Without any rendezvous
Wa yadoubek wa fi nefss 'esanya Oh! If I could in an instant
Ba l'ik 'oudami ya 'aneya Find you next to me, you the apple of my eye
Wa el'id fil 'id And we are holding hands

Chorus

That's where it came from. Thanks!

Honestly if I have a bellydance question I usually check Shira's site first. Nine times out of ten she has the answer.
