Lyrics and translation Fairuz - Lamma Bada Yatathanna

Lamma Bada Yatathanna

لما بدي يتثني
قضي الصبي والدلال
حبي جمال فتنا
افديه هل من وصال
اومي بلحظ اسرنا
بالروض بين التلال
غصن سبا حينما
غني هواه ومال
وعدي ويا حيرتي
مالي رحيم شكوتي
بالحب من لوعتي
الا مليك الجمال
بالحب من لوعتي
الا مليك الجمال
جادك الغيث إذا الغيث همي
يازمان الوصل في الاندلس
لم يكن وصلك الا حلم
في الكرى او خلسة المختلس
في ليالي كتمت سر الهوي
بالدجي لولا شموس الغرر
مال نجم الكأس فيها وهوي
مستقيم السير سعد الآثر
حين لذ النوم شيئا او كما
هجم الصبح هجوم الحرس
غارت الشهب بنا أو ربما
اثرت فينا عيون النرجس
بالذي أسكر من عذب اللمي
كل كأس تحتسيه وحبب
والذي كحل جفنيك بما
سجد السحر لديه واقترب
والذي اجرى دموعي عندما
عندما اعرضت من غير سبب
ضع علي صدري يمناك فما
اجدر الماء بأطفاء اللهب
يا أهيل الحي من وادي الغدا
وبقلبي مسكن انتم به
ضاق عن وجدي بكم رحب الفضا
لا أبالي شرقه من غربه
احور المقله معسول اللمي
جال في النفس مجال النفس
سدد السهم فأصمي اذ رمي
بفؤادي نبله المفترس
جادك الغيث اذا الغيث همي
يازمان الوصل في الأندلس
لم يكن وصلك الا حلم
في الكرى او خلسة المختلس
يازمان الوصل في الاندلس

Lamma Bada Yatathanna

When I want to be near you
The boy and the spoiled one have decided
My love is a seductively beautiful face
I would die for him, is there a way to get close to him?
You captivated me with a glance
In the meadow among the hills
A branch of Saba when
He sang and poured out his passion
My promise and oh my bewilderment
My beloved who has no mercy on my suffering
From the passion of my anguish
But the King of Beauty
From the passion of my anguish
But the King of Beauty
Your rain came when the rain was my only concern
Oh, time of togetherness in Andalusia
Our togetherness was nothing but a dream
In sleep or the secrecy of a stolen moment
In nights that concealed the secret of love
In the darkness were it not for the suns of happiness
The star of the cup leaned and poured out
Straight on the path, lucky in its result
When sleep was sweet for a while or so
The dawn attacked like the guards
The stars fell on us or perhaps
The eyes of the narcissus affected us
By the One who intoxicated with the sweetness of my lips
Every cup you sip and love
And by the One who lined your eyelids with that which
The magic prostrated before Him and approached
And by the One who made my tears flow when
When you turned away for no reason
Place your right hand on my chest, for what
Is more fit to put out the flames than water?
Oh, people of the neighborhood from the valley of ghada
And in my heart is a dwelling where you are
The vastness of space has become too narrow for my longing for you
I don't care about its east from its west
Black-eyed, with sweet lips
He wandered into my soul, the way of the soul
He shot the arrow and deafened me when he threw
Into my heart his predatory arrow
Your rain came when the rain was my only concern
Oh, time of togetherness in Andalusia
Our togetherness was nothing but a dream
In sleep or the secrecy of a stolen moment
Oh, time of togetherness in Andalusia
