Paroles et traduction Baaba Maal - Dunya Salam

Dunya Salam

إِذا المَرءُ لا يَرعاكَ إِلّا تَكَلُّفاً
فَدَعهُ وَلا تُكثِر عَلَيهِ التَأَسُّفا
فَفِي النَّاسِ أبْدَالٌ وَفي التَّرْكِ رَاحة ٌ
وفي القلبِ صبرٌ للحبيب ولو جفا
فَمَا كُلُّ مَنْ تَهْوَاهُ يَهْوَاكَ قلبهُ
وَلا كلُّ مَنْ صَافَيْتَه لَكَ قَدْ صَفَا
إذا لم يكن صفو الوداد طبيعة ً
فلا خيرَ في وردٍ يجيءُ تكلُّفا
ولا خيرَ في خلٍّ يخونُ خليلهُ
ويلقاهُ من بعدِ المودَّة ِ بالجفا
وَيُنْكِرُ عَيْشاً قَدْ تَقَادَمَ عَهْدُهُ
وَيُظْهِرُ سِرًّا كان بِالأَمْسِ قَدْ خَفَا
سَلامٌ عَلَى الدُّنْيَا إذا لَمْ يَكُنْ بِهَا
صَدِيقٌ صَدُوقٌ صَادِقُ الوَعْدِ مُنْصِفَا

Dunya Salam

If you are not sincere and are being artificial,
Leave it be and don't dwell on it constantly,
Because there are always alternatives and letting go can bring relief,
And in your heart is patience for your beloved, even if they are distant.
Not everyone you desire desires you back,
And not everyone you are friendly with is truly sincere,
If the nature of your friendship is not pure,
Then there is no good in a rose that comes artificially.
And there is no good in a friend who betrays their friend,
And meets them after affection with indifference,
And denies a life whose time has long passed,
And reveals a secret that was once hidden,
Peace be upon the world if there is not in it,
A true friend, who is honest in their promise and just.
