ومن يدري بما هو آت
Who knows what the future holds
فلا تحزن على ما فات
So don't be sad over what has passed
وإن ضاقت بك الدنيا
And if life turns its back on you
فدندِن هذه الكلمات
Then sing these words
ألم نتجاوز العثرات (بلى.. بلى)
Haven't you overcome hardships before? (Yes.. Yes..)
وعادت للحياة حياة
And got your life back in order before?
تذكّر ليست الدنيا (لا لا)
Remember life is nothing but (No.. No..)
وإن طالت سوى لحظات
Nothing but moments, no matter how long it is
لذا لذا دندِن معي الكلمات
So sing these words with me
تفاءَل خير تلاقي خير
Expect good things and you will find good things
وما تدري لعله خير لعله خير
You never know, what happened might be good for you after all
تفاءَل خير تلاقي خير
Expect good things and you will find good things
وما تدري لعله خير لعله خير
You never know, what happened might be good for you after all
فلا تحزَن على ما فات
So don't be sad over what has passed
لكُلّ العالَمين هموم
Everyone has worries
فلستَ وحدكَ يا مهموم
You're not the only one in pain
ولكِنّا نُهَوِّنُها
But you can make things easier on yourself
فحالُ المرءِ ليس يدوم
For things never last, one way or another
لا لا لا يدوم
No no no, they never last
تُنضّجُ فِكرَنا العِبرات
Our experiences make us more mature
بلى بلى
Yes yes
تُصحّينا من الغفلات
And awaken us
from our obliviousness
تُعلِّمنا تقوينا بلى بلى بلى
They teach us and make us stronger (yes.. yes..)
لنمضي بعدها بثبات
So that we may continue ahead confidently
لذا دندِن معي الكلمات
So sing these words with me
تفاءَل خير تلاقي خير
Expect good things and you will find good things
وما تدري لعله خير لعله خير
You never know, what happened might be good for you after all
تفاءَل خير تلاقي خير
Expect good things and you will find good things
وما تدري لعله خير لعله خير
You never know, what happened might be good for you after all
فلا تحزَن على ما فات
So don't be sad over what has passed
دع الأيام وافعل ما تشاءُ
Don't worry about what tomorrow holds and follow your heart
وطِبْ نفساً ولو حَلّ ابتلاءُ
And be contented even through hardship
فضبطُ النفس يُجلي عنك هماً
By controlling yourself you will remove your worries
يهُونُ الداءُ إذ حَضر الدواءُ
Just as disease is easier to endure when one has the cure
بحُسن الظنّ تَقوَى فيك روحٌ
Having faith will make your spirit stronger
وليس سوى القويِّ له البقاءُ
And only those with strong spirits will survive
تفاءَل خير تلاقي خير
Expect good things and you will find good things
وما تدري لعله خير لعله خير
You never know, what happened might be good for you after all
تفاءَل خير تلاقي خير
Expect good things and you will find good things
وما تدري لعله خير لعله خير
You never know, what happened might be good for you after all
فلا تحزَن على ما فات
So don't be sad over what has passed
