7awal ya ghanam 7awal - Palestinian folklore [*]

Hallo! Could anyone help me to traslate this song into English?



حول يا غنام حول بات الليلة هين
قلي يا غنام بالله شايف حبي وين

عاهدني المحبوب بباله يجي يلاقيني
ماله يا غنــــــــام ماله ما بيوافيني
يا زينة العربان بقســــــم بديني
عغدير المي غادي غاد شفت الزين

يطول عمرك يا غنام ردّت روحي ليّ
قلي بالله بأيّ عــــــين شفته بأيّ ميّ
كان قلبي قبل وصولك مشوي بناره شيّ
لا عم باكل و لا عم بشرب بقالي يومين

الله يصبر قلب العاشق يا أخت العربان
و يجمعك بحبيب قلبك بجاه الرحمـــــن
تحضي بيه و يحضى بيكي و تعيشو بأمان
روحي الله يكون معاكي بلكي تلاقي الزين

وين يا غزلان البر شــــــــــارد غزالي
مين منـــــكم يرضى عليّ و يريّح بالي
يا جبال يا وديان ارثي لحــــــــــــــالي
يا مناهل يا غدران وين حبي ويـــــــــن
thanks!

well may be its little hard 2 translate coz it's in the bedwin accent
and it's a poem !

this is definitely Palestinian folklore

You are welcome Oriee

Here you go...


حول يا غنام حول بات الليلة هين
come on shepherd/ herdsman change your way, sleep this night here
قلي يا غنام بالله شايف حبي وين
oh herdsman for Allah sake tell me, where did you see my love

عاهدت المحبوب بباله يجي يلاقيني
I promised the beloved in his mind to come and meet me
ماله يا غنــــــــام ماله ما بيوافيني
oh herdsman, what's wrong with him, he doesn't come to meet me
يا زين العربان والله بقســــــم بديني
oh you're the most beautiful one in the Arabs, I swear by Allah and my religion
عطريق العين غادي غاد شفت الزين
there on the way to the fountain, i saw the smart there

يطول عمرك يا غنام ردّت روحي ليّ
Oh herdman may Allah extend you life, my life is brought to me again
قلي بالله بأيّ عــــــين شفته بأيّ ميّ
please tell me on which fountain had you seen him
كان قلبي من قبل وصوله مشوي بناره شيّ
before you arrive, my heart were frying with his love fire
لا عم باكل و لا عم بشرب بقالي يومين
i haven't eaten nor drinken since two days

الله يصبر قلب العاشق يا أخت العربان
oh sister of Arabs, may Allah give lover's heart patience
و يجمعك بحبيب قلبك بجاه الرحمـــــن
and gather you with your heart love for The Mercifull (God/ Allah) sake
تحظي بيه و يحظى بيك و تعيشو بأمان
and you get each other (marry) and live safely
روحي الله يكون معاك بلكي تلاقي الزين
go there (to the fountain) may Allah be with you, and you meet him

وين يا غزلان البر شــــــــــارد غزالي
Oh terra firma's gazelles, where my gazelle is roaming
مين منـــــكم يرضى عليّ و يريّح بالي
who of you would be pleased at me and relief my mind
يا جبال ويا وديان ارثي لحــــــــــــــالي
Oh mountains, oh vally commiserate my condition
يا مناهل يا غدران وين حبي ويـــــــــن
Oh .... Oh rills wher my love is, where is he.

i'm sorry there's a word that i'm not sure of it
Enjoy

Oh gbasfora i love Wael Jassar voice, it's amazing

well, this is where a drink would come in handy.
here's another version of the song by "salateen el tarab" :

Thank you so much for the translation, and for the many versions of the song! It is of great help to me as I am a presently learning to sing this song.
All the Best!

Thank you very much Oriee for the translation and Louie for a new version of Hawael ya ghanam. I guess the singer is Sabah Fakhri

Oriee , I have some Wael jassar's songs. Just let me know in case you want them.

Bye

Hi Oriee,

I've found out the meaning of the missing word :

منهل ج مناهل : watering place , spring , resources , resource , well , fountain
