Paroles et traduction Fayrouz - Hkayat Kteer

Hkayat Kteer

واليوم بعد ما عشت
حكايات كتير صارت بعيدة
قديش فرحت وحزنت
والنهايات مش دايماً سعيدة
صحيح إني ما حكيت
وكل اللي قلته كان بالغنية
الكلام لشو الكلام هيدي حياتي

سافرت برمت كتير
غناني غنيت بي كل المسارح
وصحيح بالأخر فليت
وصدى صوتي ساكن المطارح
وجوه الناس صارت ممحية
ذكرى وحنين كأنه إمبارح
وحب الناس اللي كانو هون لون حياتي

مرات كتير خفت وبكيت
ما قدرت فل لهيك بقيت
الندم لا شو ما بعمره فاد
القصص بتروح وما بتنعاد
قصص وأخبار، شو كانو كتار
ملو حياتي

ولا يوم قدرت عيش
حياة تاني برات الغنية
حياتي عشتها وما عشتها
تمرق قدامي كانها خبرية
إشياء كتير ما قدرت قلتا
وبقيت جواتي نايمة ومنسية
لوحدي مشيت واجهت الكل
وكفيت حياتي

أيام كتير بكيت وصليت
أنا وحالي وحدي إحتجيت
مش كل شي صار
كان دايماً بإيدي
بس رغم هيك أنا أكيدة
إني آمنت وما إستسلمت
وعشت حياتي

هيدي حياتي

Many Stories

And today, after I've lived
Many stories have become distant
How much I rejoiced and grieved
And endings aren't always happy
It's true I haven't spoken much
And all I said was through song
Words for what? This is my life

I traveled and wandered so much
Sang my songs in every theatre
And it's true, in the end I left
And the echo of my voice resides in those places
The faces of people have become blurred
Memories and nostalgia, as if it were yesterday
And the love of the people who were here, colored my life

Many times I was scared and I cried
I couldn't escape, so I stayed
Regret, no matter what, it never helped
Stories go and are never repeated
Stories and news, how numerous they were
They filled my life

Not a single day could I live
Another life outside of music
My life, I lived it and I didn't
It passes before me like a news story
Many things I couldn't say
And they remained within me, sleeping and forgotten
Alone I walked, faced everyone
And I sufficed my life

Many days I cried and prayed
Me and my situation, alone I needed
Not everything that happened
Was always in my hands
But despite that, I am certain
That I believed and I didn't surrender
And I lived my life

This is my life
