Paroles et traduction Oum Kalthoum - Mali Foutintou

Mali Foutintou

مالي فُتِنْتُ بلحْظِكِ الْفَتَّاكِ | وسَلَوْتُ كُلَّ مَلِيحَة ٍ إِلاَّكِ
يُسْرَاكِ قَدْ مَلَكَتْ زِمَامَ صَبَابتي | ومَضَلَّتِي وهُدَاى فى يُمْنَاكِ
فَإِذا وَصَلْتِ فَكُلُّ شَيْءٍ باسِمُ | وإذا هَجَرْتِ فكلُ شَيْءٍ باكِي
هذا دَمِي فى وَجْنَتَيْكِ عَرَفْتُهُ | لا تَستَطِيعُ جُحُودَهُ عَيْنَاكِ
لو لم أَخَفْ حَرَّ الْهَوى وَلَهِيبَهُ | لَجَعَلْتُ بَيْنَ جَوَانحي مَثْوَاكِ
إِنِّي أَغارُ منَ الْكُؤوسِ فَجنِّبِي | كَأْسَ الْمُدَامَة ِ أَنْ تُقَبِّلَ فَاكِ
لَكِ مِنْ شَبَابِكِ أَوْ دَلاَلِكِ نَشْوة ٌ| سَحَرَ الأَنَامَ بِفِعْلِها عِطْفَاكِ

Mali Foutintou

I am captivated by your enchanting gaze | And have forgotten all other beauties but you
Your left hand holds the reins of my passion | And my guidance and my wandering are in your right
When you are with me, everything smiles | When you leave me, everything weeps
This is my blood on your cheeks, I recognize it | Your eyes cannot deny it
Were I not afraid of the heat and flames of love | I would make my dwelling place within my heart
I am jealous of the cups, so spare me | The goblet of wine that your lips may kiss
You have a charm in your youth or your coquetry | Your kindness has enraptured the world with its deeds
