ذكريات الحزين اللي توارد عليه lyrics

ذكريات الحزين اللي توارد عليه

Dhikiriyat al-ḥazin alli tawarad ‘alayh

Memories of the sad one that came to him

ماقدر ينتهيها قبل نور الصبااح

Ma qadar yantahiha qabl nur al-ṣabaḥ

He couldn't end them before the light of dawn

حاول انه يحاول دامها في يديه

Ḥawal innah yuḥawil damaha fi yadayh

He tried to try as long as they were in his hands

للاسف ماقدر وانهد حيله وطاح

Lil-asaf ma qadar wa inhad ḥaylah wa ṭaḥ

Unfortunately, he couldn't, and his strength collapsed and he fell

سافري يا حمامه صوب ذاك النبيه

Safiri ya ḥamamah ṣawb dhak al-nabih

Travel, oh dove, towards that noble one

واعتلي بالرساله فوق متن الجناح

Wa i‘tali bil-risalah fawq matn al-janah

And ascend with the message upon the wing's back

وادعي من يحبه كل عفّ نزيه

Wa id‘i man yuḥibbuh kull ‘aff nazih

And pray for him who loves every pure, chaste one

ليت لي مثل مالك يا حمامه جناح

Layt li mithl malik ya ḥamamah janah

If only I had wings like you, oh dove

وان وصلتي لعبدالله سلميني عليه

Wa in waṣalti li-‘Abdullah sallimini ‘alayh

And when you reach Abdullah, greet him for me

سلميييني عليه و بلغيييه الفلاح

Sallimini ‘alayh wa ballighih al-falaḥ

Greet him for me and convey to him success

علميه الشجاع اللي جلست ارتجيه

‘Allimih al-shuja‘ alli jalast artajih

Tell him the brave one I sat hoping for

حط سيف التعاسة في ضلوعي وراح

Ḥaṭṭ sayf al-ta‘asah fi ḍulu‘i wa raḥ

Placed the sword of misery in my ribs and left

الوجع لو بـ اشبّه كن ما له شبيه

Al-waja‘ law bi-ashabbih kann ma lah shabih

The pain, if I were to describe it, is like nothing else

بين ضرب السيوف .. وبين ضرب الرماح

Bayn ḍarb al-suyuf... wa bayn ḍarb al-rimaḥ

Between the strike of swords... and the strike of spears

الصبر .. ماقويته والجوارح تبيه

Al-ṣabr... ma qawaytuh wal-jawariḥ tabih

Patience... I couldn't bear it, and my limbs desire it

و الامل في الليالي .. والليالي كفاح

Wal-amal fil-layali... wal-layali kifah

And hope in the nights... and the nights are a struggle

تاهت اقدام رجلي بين يمكن وليه

Tahat aqdam rijli bayn yumkin wa layh

My feet's steps wandered between 'maybe' and 'why'

وقفي يا ظنوني عند ذاك المراح

Waqqifi ya ẓununi ‘ind dhak al-muraḥ

Stop, oh my thoughts, at that resting place

موقفي لو بغيته ماقدرت احتميه

Mawqifi law baghaytuh ma qadart aḥtamih

My position, if I wanted it, I couldn't protect it

العذر يا زماني والعفو والسماااح

Al-‘udhr ya zamani wal-‘afw wal-samaḥ

Excuse me, oh my time, and forgiveness and pardon

كاني حلمي بسييط ويوم جيت ابتديه

Kanni ḥilmi basiṭ wa yawm ji’t abtadih

As if my dream was simple, and when I came to start it

للاسف ماقدرت .. وانهد حلمي وطااااح

Lil-asaf ma qadart... wa inhad ḥilmi wa ṭaḥ

Unfortunately, I couldn't... and my dream collapsed and fell
