Текст и перевод песни Lotfi Bouchnak - Ritek Ma Naaref Win

Ritek Ma Naaref Win

ريتك ما نعرف وين
لحظة ما بين نومين
في حومة باب الخضراء
والا في الحجامين

و يمكن صارت هالقصة
زمان اللي كانت خسة
في ربط الحلفاوين

ريتك و فنيت عليك
وقعدت انتبع فيك
يابنية باب سويقة
خمسة و خميس عليك

تمنيت وجهك يضحكلي
و شفرك الاكحل ينعملي
مرة نتلاقا بيك

ريتك في حلق الواد
و احنا على بعضنا بعاد
ما لقيت كيفاش نُوصِِلِّك
و تلهاو بينا لعباد

وقتاش يا مشموم
في خجلتك مضموم
نكمت بيك الحساد

ريتك في لافايات
تتدرجح بالخانات
آه ياليتني ما شفتك
ناري شعلت و قوات

محلاك في الصبحية
كيف تتبختر يا بنية
الدنيا مشات وجات

نحلم كاينّا ثنين
ضعنا ما نعرف وين
يمكن في باب منارة
والا في العزافين

لكن كنا مع بعضنا
ما ثمة ما يفرقنا
برادسي برادسو ماشين

If Only We Hadn't Met

If only we had never met,
For a moment between sleeps,
In the neighborhood of Bab El Khadhra,
Or at the barber shop.

Perhaps this story happened
A long time ago,
When the esparto grass was tied.

If only I had vanished into thin air,
And not followed you around,
Girl from Bab Souika,
I would have been spared this pain.

I wished your face would smile at me,
And your kohl-lined eyes would soften toward me.
If only we could meet again.

If only we had met in El Oud,
And we had been close, despite the distance.
I couldn't figure out how to get to you,
And the servants kept us apart.

When will it be, my fragrant one,
That your shyness will fade?
Envy has consumed me.

If only we had met at the Lafayette,
Where you floated gracefully through the halls.
Oh, if only I had never seen you,
For my fire has burned out of control.

How beautiful you are in the morning,
As you walk gracefully, my dear.
The world has come and gone,

We dream that we are together,
Lost and alone.
Perhaps at Bab Menara,
Or among the musicians.

But we were together,
Nothing could separate us.
We wandered aimlessly, hand in hand.
