Paroles et traduction Wadih El Safi - La Ouyouni Gharibeh

La Ouyouni Gharibeh

لا عيوني غريبة ولا صوتي غريب
ضيعني حبيبي ومن حدِّي قريب

ضيّعني ولاقاني مرهون بإيديْه
لا كلمة حاكاني حاكاني بعينيْه

قصتنا طويلة أولّها عتاب
بالدنيا البخيلة كبّرنا العذاب

أنا لولاك ياحبيبي ما تعلمت الهوى
أنا لولاك ياحبيبي ما عشنا سوا

رح تبقى بخيالي بشهور السنة
ما بْشيلك من بالي تـ تفنى الدني ...

La Ouyouni Gharibeh

My eyes are not strange, nor is my voice strange
My sweetheart has led me astray, though I am close by

He has led me astray and left me in his hands
Not a word did he utter, he spoke to me with his eyes

Our story is long, beginning with reproach
In this stingy world, we have endured great suffering

My dearest, had it not been for you, I would not have known love
My dearest, had it not been for you, we would not have lived together

You will remain in my thoughts all year
I will not forget you, not until the world ends...
