Re-imagined rock cover the great 1960s hit from Fairuz. The title of the song means "I loved you in the summer". The original song tells the story of a girl waiting for her love, fleeting like the summer, but who never comes. She waits until winter comes, and she dies. In the Johnny Punish rock version, it's told from the point of a man waiting for love.
lyrics
Be ayam el bard, be ayam el sheti
Weir raseef boohayra, wishareh ghareek
Teegi hak el bint, men bait el aateeh

We aoyonak bisayf, we aoyoni sheti
Maliana ya ha-bi-ti, khalf el sayf ooh khalf fe sheti
khalf fe-sayf ooh khalf fe-sheti
