Paroles et traduction Wadih El Safi - Ya Layel Sho Taaban

Ya Layel Sho Taaban

يا ليل شو تعبان من كتر الســــــفر
من هالنجوم زعلان يا اما من البشر
ناطر حدا وفزعان لا تخاف القمر
متلك خلق عشقان مكتوب له السهر

انت وانا ليلين ليلك بذكرني
بحلوة العينين يا ليل خبرني
شو صاير بحالها حلوة الحلوين
ضم الهوا شالها الها بقلبي سنين
دخلك حدا قبالها غيرك انت تخمين يا ليل

صارلك زمان تعود بتغيب وبترجع
من هالعيون السود جايي الهوى تزرع
يا ليل نحنا رفاق ما غبت عن دربي
متلي انا مشتاق قلبك متل قلبي
منعيش بالاشواق منضيع بالغربة

Oh, Night, How Weary Are You

Oh, night, how weary you are from so much travel,
Are you upset with these stars or with people?
I'm waiting for someone and I'm scared, don't be afraid of the moon,
Like you, there are created lovers who are destined to stay up late.

You and I are two nights, your night reminds me
Of the beautiful eyes, oh night, tell me,
What's happening to her, the most beautiful of the beautiful?
The wind embraced her and took her away; I've been holding onto her in my heart for years.
Please, has anyone else come before you, oh night?

You've been used to coming and going for a long time,
Sowing love from these dark eyes.
Oh night, we are companions, you have never left my path.
Like me, your heart is yearning, just like mine.
We are dying in longing, we are lost in foreign lands.
