Paroles et traduction Oum Kalthoum - Wallah Zaman Ya Selahy

Wallah Zaman Ya Selahy

والله زمــان يـا سـلاحـي
اشتـقـت لـك في كـفـاحي
انطق وقـول أنـا صاحـي
يــا حــرب والله زمــان
والله زمـان ع الجــنــود
زاحفة بـتـرعـد رعـود
حالـفة تـروح لم تـعـود
إلا بـنـصــر الـزمــان
همـوا وضـمـوا الصـفـوف
شيلوا الحياة ع الكفوف
ياما العدو راح يـشـوف
منكـم في نـار المـيـدان
يـا مجـدنـا يـا مجـدنـا
يا اللي اتبنـيت من عندنا
بـشـقــانـا وكــدنــا
عـمـرك مـا تبقى هـوان
مصر الحرة مين يحميهــــا
نحـميهـا بـسلاحـنـــا
أرض الثورة مين يفديهـا
نفـديها بأرواحـنــا
الشعب بيزحـف زى النور
الشعب جبال الشعـب بحور
بركان غضبان بركان بيفور
زلزال بيـشق لهم في قبور

Wallah Zaman Ya Selahy

Days have passed and still I hold my weapons in readiness, my love.
I yearned for you in my struggle, my love.
Speak and say that you are awake, my love.
O my war, days have passed and still I hold my weapons in readiness, my love.
Days have passed and still I hold weapons in readiness, my love,
Advancing with thunderous roars,
Sworn not to return,
Except in triumph.
They gathered their ranks,
Shouldering their lives upon their hands,
O how the enemy will witness,
Of your prowess on the battlefield,
O our glory, our glory!
You who have been raised by us,
With our toil and sweat,
Never will you be left in disgrace.
Who will protect free Egypt?
We will protect it with our weapons.
Who will redeem the land of revolution?
We will redeem it with our lives.
The people march forward like a glorious light.
The people are mountains, the people are seas.
A volcano of fury erupts,
An earthquake that will rend their graves.
