Текст и перевод песни Lotfi Bouchnak - Eliin Elli Matchoufekchi

Eliin Elli Matchoufekchi

العين اللي ما تشوفكشي
يا خسارة كل اللّي راتو

و القلب اللّي ما يحبّكشي
قل لي اش يعمل بحياتو

يا زهرة عمري يا سمراء
ملّي نورتي لياليّا

كاينّي عنّقت القمرة
و قطفت الشمس بعينيّا

نحلف لو نمشي عالجمرة
حبّك يهدي لي جناحاتو

انا عمري سقيتو بيدك
شفتو يكبر بيك و بيّااا

يفتّح كي الوردة على خدّك
يمسح لي دمعة خدّيا

اما قلبي ملكتو وحدك
اسمع اسمك في دقّاتو

عمري ضاع ورايا و خلّى
اوراقي تذبل بين يديّا

و لمّا حبّيتك يا لـلّه
شجرة عمري رجعت حيّة

لو ما كنت نخاف من الله
نقول حبّك يحيي اللّي ماتو

Eliin Elli Matchoufekchi

The eyes that don't look at you
What a waste of all that water

And the heart that doesn't love you
Tell me what they should do with their life

Oh, flower of my life, oh, dark-skinned girl,
You lit up my nights for me

I embraced the moon, and I
Plucked the sun with my eyes

I swear, if I walk on hot coals,
Your love will give me wings

I have watered my life with your hands,
I see it grow with you and with me.

It opens like a rose on your cheek,
It wipes away the tear from my cheek.

As for my heart, you alone own it,
I hear your name in its beats.

My life was lost behind me, and it left
My leaves withered in my hands.

But when I loved you, oh God,
The tree of my life came back to life.

If I didn't fear God,
I would say that your love brings the dead back to life.
