Oum Kalthoum - The Topic of Love

Throughout my life I've feared love
And the topic of love
And the opression of love to all those who possess it
And I know stories filled with sighs, tears and groans
And lovers falling in love and never turning back
Throughout my life I've said no to desire and nights of desire
As well as no to tormenting my heart
I met you and found that you changed my whole life
I don't know how I loved you I don't know how, my life
From a whisper of love I found myself loving and falling in love night and day at its mercy

Years of my life passed and for years I often saw lovers
Who complain to themselves
And those who cry in mawwals
The people of love are truly unfortunate
Oh how many times love called my heart and my heart did not answer back
Oh how many times desire tried to trick me and I said 'be gone oh torment'
Oh how many eyes tried to attract my attention but never succeeded
Except for you eyes
Those alone took me and commanded me to love you
They commanded me to love
I found myself loving and falling in love night and day at its mercy

You all who love wrong saying that it was torment and I dunno what
Shame on you and the ones you love
As for love, I give my soul to it
There is nothing in the world that could ever, ever be more wonderful than love
We tire, we suffer, we complain about it, but we do love
The heart and its sighs are incredible in reunion and separation
And the candles of desire, when they light, a night of longing
The world and its beauty are so incredible in the eyes of lovers
Love took me, and I found myself loving and falling in love night and day at its mercy

You filled my life with love
So I give you my life
My soul, my heart, my mind
My love, my everything are yours
Your voice, your glance, your whisper are incredible
Something that made the world flowers and candles for me forever
My God how great your love is my darling
And my happiness with you my darling, my darling, oh my God
Not a tear nor a sigh has hurt my heart
I say nothing in your love but oh my God, my darling, my God your love is great
From so much love, I found myself loving and falling in love night at day at its mercy

أم كلثوم - سيرة الحب

طول عمرى باخاف من الحب وسيرة الحب وظلم الحب لكل أصحابه
وأعرف حكايات مليانه آهات ودموع وأنين والعاشقين دابوا ما تابوا
طول عمرى بأقول لا أنا قد الشوق وليالى الشوق ولا قلبى قد عذابه
وقابلتك انت لقيتك بتغير كل حياتى
ما أعرفش إزاى حبيتك ما أعرفش إزاى ياحياتى
من همسة حب لقيتنى باحب وأدوب فى الحب وصبح وليل على بابه

فات من عمرى سنين وسنين شفت كتير و قليل عاشقين
اللى بيشكى حاله لحاله واللى بيبكى على مواله
أهل الحب صحيح مساكين
ياما الحب نده على قلبى ما ردش قلبى جواب
ياما الشوق حاول يحايلنى واقول له روح يا عذاب
ياما عيون شاغلونى لكن ولا شغلونى
إلا عيونك انت دول بس اللى خدونى وبحبك أمرونى
أمرونى احب لقيتنى باحب وأدوب فى الحب وصبح وليل على بابه

ياللى ظلمتوا الحب وقلتوا وعدتوا عليه قلتوا عليه مش عارف إيه
العيب فيكم يا فى حبايبكم أما الحب ياروحى عليه
فى الدنيا ما فيش أبدا أبدا أحلى من الحب
نتعب نغلب نشتكى منه لكن بنحب
ياسلام ع القلب وتنهيده فى وصال وفراق
وشموع الشوق لما يقيدوا ليل المشتاق
يا سلام ع الدنيا وحلاوتها فى عين العشاق
أنا خدنى الحب لقيتنى باحب وأدوب فى الحب وصبح وليل على بابه

يا اللى مليت بالحب حياتى أهدى حياتى إليك
روحى..قلبى..عقلى..حبى كلّى ملك ايديك
صوتك..نظراتك..همساتك شىء مش معقول
شىء خللى الدنيا زهور على طول وشموع على طول
الله ياحبيبى على حبك وهنايا معاك الله يا حبيبى يا حبيبى الله الله
ولا دمعة عين جرحت قلبى ولا قولة آه
ما بقولش فى حبك غير الله الله يا حبيبى على حبك الله الله
من كتر الحب لقيتنى باحب وأدوب فى الحب وصبح وليل على بابه

Angham - I Wish Him Well I will wish him well So what if he's leaving me and forgetting me He endured so much because of me He gave his heart to me

I will wish him well
Before he hurt me, he healed me
He was my life and he was my time
He was my heart, soul and eyes

I will remember for him the many things between us
I will remember, the days of our love, the steps in our path
When we were sharing happiness in our eyes
I will remember for him many things, I will wish him well

I will wish him well from the bottom of my heart
Because he deserves it
I will wish for the world to come around again
Again and we will meet

انغام - اتمناله الخير

هاتمناله الخير .. إيه يعنى يفوتنى و ينسانى
مهو ياما إتحمل علشانى .. مهو ياما كان قلبه عليا

هاتمناله الخير .. مهو قبل ما يجرحنى داوانى
كان عمرى و كان هو زمانى .. كان قلبى و روحى و عنيا

هفتكرله حجات كتير كانت ما بينا
هافتكر .. أيام هوانا .. والخطاوى اللى فى طريقنا
لما كنا .. بنقسم الفرحه فى عيونا
هافتكرله حجات كتير .. حتمناله الخير

هاتمناله الخير من قلبى .. علشان يستاهل
دنا هتمنى تلف الدنيا تانى .. تانى و نتقابل

هفتكرله حجات كتير كانت ما بينا
هافتكر .. أيام هوانا .. والخطاوى اللى فى طريقنا
لما كنا .. بنقسم الفرحه فى عيونا
هافتكرله حجات كتير .. حتمناله الخير

إيه يعنى يفوتنى و ينسانى
مهو ياما إتحمل علشانى .. مهو ياما كان قلبه عليا

هاتمناله الخير .. مهو قبل ما يجرحنى داوانى
كان عمرى و كان هو زمانى .. كان قلبى و روحى و عنيا

هاتمناله الخير ..

Lyrics transcription from La7oon.com

Egyptian Colloquial Notes:

In the last lesson using the song "lissah baHibbak (لسه بحبك)" by Tamer Hosni, we learned, among many things, to say that one is holding a grudge "shaayil min (شايل من)" someone. In this lesson featuring the song "hatmanna lu al-xeer (هتمنّاله الخير)" by Angham, you will certainly find a different sentiment." Let's get right to it!

The title, "hatmanna lu al-xeer (هتمناله الخير)" can be translated as "I will wish him well," using the verb "itmanna (اتمنى)." "al-xeer (الخير)" is "goodness" or "good" or "wellness."

The first verse:

هاتمناله الخير .. إيه يعنى يفوتنى و ينسانى

The phrase "eh ya3ni (ايه يعني)" is incredibly useful. "ya3ni (يعني)" is a common Arabic filler word that means literally "it means." The phrase "eh ya3ni (ايه يعني)" means "so what?" in English. "yafuutni (يفوتني)" uses the verb "faat (فات)," "to pass," but in this case to pass by or leave. So the whole sentence is "I will wish him well, so what if he's leaving me and forgetting me?"

ماهو ياما إتحمل علشانى

"maahu (ماهو)" is a tough but important aspect of Egyptian Arabic. "ma (ما)" is often used to add emphasis in various ways. For "maahu (ماهو)," it's something along the lines of "the fact is," or "but he's!" or something along those lines. It does not change the meaning of the sentence much, but adds a certain feeling in the way that our tone often adds feeling in Egnlish. "yaama (ياما)" also is used for adding emphasis. It is usually used with verbs and means like "oh how much!," "oh how often!," or "oh how great!" the verb "ittHammal (اتحمّل)" means "to bear" or "to endure." "3alashaan ()" is an essential Egyptian Arabic word that means "because," "in order to" or "for" in some contexts. "3alashaani (علشاني)" of course means "because of me" or "for me." How do we translate the sentence? Something like "but you know he's endured so much because of me!"

Next line:

ماهو ياما كان قلبه عليا

Try to get the meaning from this best you can.

And the next one:

هاتمناله الخير .. ماهو قبل ما يجرحنى داوانى

You might be starting to understand. "'abl ma ()" means before and is used before a verb. the verb "daawa ()" means "to cure." So "before hurting me, he healed me." Get it? He made her life better before he made it worse, so why would she wish ill upon him?

Next line doesn't have much:

كان عمرى و كان هو زمانى .. كان قلبى و روحى و عينيا

"kaan ()" we know means he was. These are pretty much just terms of endearments used to expressed how important someone is to you. Most of them should be known

And what's next?:

هفتكرله حجات كتير كانت ما بينا

The verb "iftikir (افتكر)" means "to remember" or "to think." "lu (له)" of course means for him, just like in Standard Arabic. "ma been (ما بين)" means "between or "in between" like the word "been (بين)." Put it together: "I'll remember for him there were many things between us."

Next line:

هافتكر .. أيام هوانا .. والخطاوى اللى فى طريقنا

"hawa (هوانا)" is another word for love. "xaTaawi (خطاوي)" is the plural of the word "xatwa (خطوة)," meaning "footstep." So she will remember "the days of our love and the steps in our path." See how "illi (اللي)" is being used here?

Some new vocab in the next line:

لما كنا بنقسم الفرحه فى عيونا

Remember "lamma (لما)" which means "when" in a non-interrogative sense. "inqasam (انقسم)" means "to share" and "al-farHa (الفرحة)" is a word for "joy" or "happiness." Sooo, "when we were sharing joy in our eyes."

Nothing new here:

هافتكرله حجات كتير .. هتمناله الخير

Understand?

Let's keep going:

هاتمناله الخير من قلبى

Remember what "'albi (قلبي)" means?" If not, click to the dictionary in the right hand column.

And why does she?:

علشان يستاهل

Here's the word "3alashaan (علشان)" again. So it means, "because he deserves it."

Following that:

دنا هتمنى تلف الدنيا تانى

"dana (دنا)" is tricky. For now just know it means the same thing as "ana (انا)." This time "hatmanna (هتمنى)" must be translated as "I would hope" rather than "I will" because it is hypothetical as we will see. There is no real word to distinguish "will from "would" in all cases so just use judgment. "laff (لفّ)" means "to turn" or "to turn around." However "al-dunya bitliff (الدنيا بتلفّ)" is a proverbial sentence "things are always changing" and "it's a small world." So what she means here is that she hopes things will change or come around again (تاني).

So what will happen when that happens?:

ونتقابل

The verb "it'aabil (اتقابل)" means "to meet together" or "to run into one another" or "to make each other's acquaintance." Point is, she would give it all a second try.

By now we are finding less and less familiar words. Go back and listen again to see if you can really hear all the words she's saying and feel what she means when she says "maahu"

ما فهمت كل حاجة؟ ايه يعني!؟ معلهش

You will continue to improve. Remember the important new words "ya3ni (يعني)" and "3alashaan (علشان)" and "iftikir (افتكر)."

Majida el-Roumy - From the Darkness of the Daysماجدة الرومي - من عتم الايامMin Atm al Ayam

Actually I don't know much about this song. It comes as a request. I think it is referring to the Lebanese Civil War. Any info would be appreciated. Also I can't find any audio online, sorry.

Majida el-Roumy - From the Darkness of the Days

From the darkness of the days
You've brought the most beautiful image
And gave peace to my defeated country
To our thirsty fields, to our cold homes
To our hearts abandoned from the darkness of the days
You planted at our doors flowers and poems
And when the pot of our soil blessed you
With Cherbel and Rafca and St. Kafifan (the first two are the names of Maronite saints, the third I can't verify but probably also Maronite saint)
A blue sky emptied on Lebanon
Pleading, we say pray with us at once
While the words run out to light up the sky
Oh you who brought peace to my defeated country
From the darkness of the days you brought the most beautiful image
And gave peace to my defeated country
From the darkness of the days

ماجدة الرومي - من عتم الايام

من عتم الأيام جيت بأحلا صورة
وهديت الســلام لبلادي المقهورة
لحقولنا العطشاني لبيوتنا الـبرداني
لقلوبنا المهجورة مـن عتـم الأيام
وزرعت ع بوابنا الـورد والأشعار
ولما دست ترابنا تقدس فيك وصار
مع شربل ورفقا وقديس كفـــيفان
يرشح سما زرقا ع ارض لـــبنان
متوسل ومنقول صلي معنا ع طول
لحبيبك يسوع والــعدرا البــتــــول
صلي معنا ع طول تريـــز علــى طـــــول
ويخلص الكلام تضوي السما نورا
يال جبت السلام لبلادي المقهورة
من عتم الأيام جيت بأحلا صورة
وهديت السلام لبلادي المقهورة
من عتم الأيام

Amr Diab - I Miss You If you could handle the separation, I couldn't handle it I miss you, I miss you ah ah My darling, I love you, in my soul, in my heart, in my mind You are the one who has no heart

I spend days preoccupied with you
I long for your eyes all the way

My darling, how could I forget you?
My soul would leave with you
Desire has tired me
And my heart has left me
And went with you

Amr Diab - Tu Me Manques

Si tu peux supporter le separation
Je ne le pourrais pas

Tu me manques
Tu me manques, ah ah
Ma cherie, Je t'aime, au fond de mon âme
Dans mon coeur, dans ma tête
Tu n'as pas de coeur

Je ne cesse de penser a toi depuis des jours
Tes yeux me manquent tant
Mon regard t'as vu le premier
Mon amour, mon coeur est avec toi, en disant...

Ma cherie comment pourrais je t'oublier
Mon âme s'en irais avec toi
Le desir que j'ai pour toi me fatigue
Mon coeur m'a abandonné et s'en est aller avec toi

French translation by Pauline Toulouze

عمرو دياب - بتوحشني

لو كنت قادر ع البعاد أنا مش قادر عليه

بتوحشنى ..بتوحشنى أه أه
حبيبى .. بحبك .. بروحى .. بقلبى .. بعقلى
ياللى ياللى ياللى معندكش قلب

أيام وأنا بيك مشغول مشتاق لعينيك على طول
تسبقنى عينى ليك يا عينى قلبى معاك يقول

يا حبيبى ازاى أنساك ده أنا روحى تروح وياك
الشوق تعبنى وقلبى سابنى سابنى وراح معاك

Tamer Hosni - Your Voiceتامر حسني - صوتكSotek

Tamer Hosni - Your Voice Why is your voice changing like this? Is there someone next to you or what That's it, I understand, I'll hang up But before I hang up say hi to him for me

And tell him he's paying attention to you
Just as I was worrying for you
And he's trying as much as he can
To protect to you and take care of you

Why did you do this to someone who loves you like this
His every crime was that he gave you everything he had
The most precious things he had
And in the end, his end is like this

Are you happy with the one next to you
Of course
He's so much like you and truly resembles you
Tomorrow he'll do to you like you did this

تامر حسني - صوتك

صوتك متغير كدا ليه
في حد جنبك ولا أية
خلاص فهمت وهأقفل
بس قبل ما أقفل سلميلي عليه

وقوليلو ياخد بالو منك
زى ما كنت أنا بخاف عليكي
ويحاول على قد ما يقدر
يحميكى و يحافظ عليكي

ليه عملتي كده مع واحد حبك كده
كان كل ذنبه انه اداكي كل ما عنده وخلاكي
اغلى ما عنده و في الاخر تبقى نهايته كده

فرحانة باللي جنبك طبعا ما هو زيك وشبهك فعلا
بكرا هيعمل فيكي زي ما عملتي كده

When you're by my side
Oh how sweet the hours are to me
When you're by my side
You make me forget life

You are my life
Without you I do not live
I don't want you to go away from me
If you are away from me for a moment you'll drive me crazy with your absence

For so long you've been on my mind
For so long my eyes have not slept
With affection with my soul I will find you
You are the most beautiful passion

Fairuz - I'm Writing Your Nameفيروز - بكتب اسمكBiktib Ismek

Updated media and translation

Fairuz - I'm Writing Your Name I'm writing your name my darling On the old poplar You're writing my name my darling In the sand on the path And tomorrow it will rain On the wounded stories Your name will remain my darling And my name will be erased

I talk about you my darling
To my the people in the neighborhood
You talk about me my darling
To a spring of water
And when they burn the midnight oil
Beneath the lamps of the evening
They talk about you my darling
And I am forgotten

And you gave me a flower
I showed it to my friends
I put it in my book
I planted it on my pillow
I gave you a vase
You didn't take care of it
And you weren't concerned with it
And so the gift went to waste
And you tell me you love me
You don't know how much
That you still love me
Why, huh, Why?

فيروز - بكتب اسمك

بكتب اسمك يا حبيبي
عالحور العتيق
بتكتب اسمي ياحبيبي
عارمل الطريق
وبكرة بتشتي الدني
عالقصص انجرحت
بيبقى اسمك ياحبيبي
واسمي بينمحى

بحكي عنك ياحبيبي
لآهالي الحي
بتحكي عني ياحبيبي
لنبعة المي
ولما بيدور السهر
تحت قناديل المسا
بيحكو عنك ياحبيبي
وأنابنتسى

وهديتني وردة
فرجيتا لصحابي
خبيتا بكتابي
زرعتا عالمخدة
هديتك مزهرية
لاكنت داريها
ولاتعتني فيها
تاضاغت الهدية
وبتقلي بتحبني
مابتعرف قديش
مازالك بتحبني
ليش دخلك ليش
