Biktub ismak ya habibi - Help to finish the translation

[gbasfora]

Hi

I am working on the translation for a fairuz's song called biktub ismak but it's missing some words that I don't understand. I hope someone can help me to finish the translation.

Here are the lyrics and what i've already done

بكتب اسمك يا حبيبي عالحورالعتيق
I carve your name , O my dear, on the trunk of the old tree
تكتب اسمي يا حبيبي عرمل الطريق
you write my name , O my dear, on the sand of the road
و بكرة بتشتي الدنيي عالقصص المجرحة
and tomorrow when the rain comes????????????????????
بيبقى اسمك يا حبيبي واسمي بينمحى
your name will remain and my name will disappear


بحكي عنك يا حبيبي لآهالي الحي
I speak up for you , O my dear, to the neighborhood
بتحكي عني يا حبيبي لنبعة المي
you talk about me , O my dear, to the fountain
و لما بيدور السهر تحت قناديل المسا
And on the soirée under the lights of the night
بيحكو عنك با حبيبي وانا بانتسى
They will talk about you and I will be forgotten


و هديتني وردة فرجيتا لصحابي
You gave me a rose , I showed it for my friends
خبيتا بكتابي زرعتا عالمخدة
kept it in my book and put it in my pillow
هديتك مزهرية لا كنت داريها
I gave you a flowerpot ?????????????????
و لاتعتني فيها تاضاعت الهدية
????????????????? Lost the gift
و بتقلي بتحبني ما بتعرف قديش
you tell me you love me but you don't know how big is your love
ما زالك بتحبني ليش دخلك ليش
??????????? You love me why I implore you why

Thanks in advance

Hi G,

I can answer No. 2 and 4.

2) هديتك مزهرية لا كنت داريها
I gave you a bouquet but you didn't know it

4) ما زالك بتحبني ليش دخلك ليش

You still love me, why do you implore me why


Good luck to the rest!

[larosa]

it's great but here is some modifications

بكتب اسمك يا حبيبي عالحورالعتيق
I carve your name , O my dear, on the trunk of the old tree
تكتب اسمي يا حبيبي عرمل الطريق
you write my name , O my dear, on the sand of the road
و بكرة بتشتي الدنيي عالقصص المجرحة
and tomorrow when the rain comes????????????????????
and tomorrow when the rain falls on the hurting stories
بيبقى اسمك يا حبيبي واسمي بينمحى
your name will remain and my name will disappear


بحكي عنك يا حبيبي لآهالي الحي
i speak about you to my neighbours
I speak up for you , O my dear, to the neighborhood
بتحكي عني يا حبيبي لنبعة المي
نبعة المي=the source of the falling water
you talk about me , O my dear, to the fountain
و لما بيدور السهر تحت قناديل المسا
and when the awakeness turns around ,under the candles(the light it's an old lampe to enlighten in the past) of the night
And on the soirée under the lights of the night
بيحكو عنك با حبيبي وانا بانتسى
They will talk about you and I will be forgotten


و هديتني وردة فرجيتا لصحابي
You gave me a rose , I showed it for/to my friends
خبيتا بكتابي زرعتا عالمخدة
kept it in my book and put it in my pillow
i've hidden it in my bood and planted it on the pillow
هديتك مزهرية لا كنت داريها
I gave you a flowerpot ?????????????????
i gave you a vase that you neglected
و لاتعتني فيها تاضاعت الهدية
and you didn't take care of it till it(the present/the gift) got lost
????????????????? Lost the gift
و بتقلي بتحبني ما بتعرف قديش
you tell me you love me but you don't know how big is your love

ما زالك بتحبني ليش دخلك ليش
??????????? You love me why I implore you why
you still love me ,why ?please why
دخلك/دخيلك=please in libanese and syrian
enjoy it ,if you don't get somethign just let me know

Thank you very much larosa.Once more you have been a very helpful person.

Just few questions

1) about the verses :
و بكرة بتشتي الدنيي عالقصص المجرحة
and tomorrow when the rain falls on the hurting stories
بيبقى اسمك يا حبيبي واسمي بينمحى
your name will remain and my name will disappear

I had translated it just as you did it above but the translation didn't make sense for me. I can't see any conexion between عالقصص المجرحة and the other words . Do you ?

2) Imjaraha = majrouha ?

3) mazharii = flowerpot according my dictionary


Bye and thanks again

[Daydream]

و بكرة بتشتي الدنيي عالقصص المجرحة
and tomorrow the world will turn cold from the painful stories

2) Imjaraha = majrouha ?

yes, it's the same word

3) mazharii = flowerpot according my dictionary

mazhariye is a vase and well a flowerpot is kind of like a vase lol

thank you for your help Daydream
