Текст и перевод песни Oum Kalthoum - Leih Ya Zaman

Leih Ya Zaman

لـيه يا زمان كان هواي سبب شقاي وهواني
لقيت في حبّه هناي والدهر باعني وشــراني
يا هل ترى يا زماني أرجع واشـوف الحبيــب
والا تخـــــــون الأمـاني واحيا حـياة الغريب
فرّقت بين قلبي وبيني والفرقة كانت على عيني
لكن رعاني ووفاني وواســــى قلــــبي العليل
ولمّا قاســــى اللـــيالي حبيت أرد الجـــــميل
طير غريب عن حماه
شاف حبيب جاه واساه
ســـــــقاه من الود الصافي حتى رواه
واللي في حبّه يكون وافي الروح فداه

Leih Ya Zaman

Why, oh time, has my love brought me sorrow and disdain?
In his love, I found my joy, but fate betrayed and wounded me.
Oh, do you think, oh my time, that I will return and see my beloved?
Or will my hopes be betrayed, and I will live the life of a stranger?
You separated my heart from me, and the separation was before my eyes.
But he cared for me and was faithful to me, and comforted my aching heart.
And when he suffered through the nights, I longed to return the favor.
A bird lost from its home,
He found a lover who healed and comforted him.
He gave him the purest water to quench his thirst,
And for those who love faithfully, he sacrifices his own soul.
