Al Hilwa W'al Murra
Salah Al Kuwaiti
In Better Times, in Bitter Times
(chorus)
In better times I've stood by you
In bitter times I've stood by you
You saw me in every situation
So why, why, why did you leave me?
Get back to me, good old friend,
Stop running away from me, please stop,
When will you fulfill your promises?
I can't bear staying away from you
So why, why, why did you leave me?
(chorus)
I've loved you since my I was young,
With my tears I've quenched your thirst,
With my soul I've looked after you
And your misfortune I've borne.
(chorus)
