Abd El-Halim Hafez - Ana Kol Ma Gol El-Tobah [*]

[jacaranda]

Plz help me with ths song

أنا كل ما اقول التوبه

أنا كل ما قول التوبه يا بوي ترميني المقادير يا عين
وحشاني عيونه السودة يابوي ومدوبني الحنين يا عين
أنا كل ما اقول التوبه يا بوي ترميني المجادير يا عين
وحشانى عيونه السودا ومدوبني الحنين يا عين
متغرب والليالي يا بوي مش سايباني في حالي يا عين
والرمش اللي مجرحني يا بوي ضيعني وأنا كان مالي يا عين
يا رموش قتاله وجارحه يا بوي وعيون نيمانة وسارحة ياعين
أديكي عمري بحاله يا بوي واديني انتي الفرحة ياعين
القلب الأخضراني يا بوي
دبلت فيه الأماني يا عين
ولا قادر طول غيبتكوا يا بوي
يشرب من بحر تاني يا عين

[Orwa]

Look, ya 3ain which he's repeating in every sentence is an expression means how much he's wondering

أنا كل ما اقول التوبه
When i say never

أنا كل ما قول التوبه يا بوي ترميني المقادير يا عين
I when i say never, oh my dad the fatalism throw me away

وحشاني عيونه السودة يابوي ومدوبني الحنين يا عين
I miss his black eyes, oh my dad and it melting because of longing

أنا كل ما اقول التوبه يا بوي ترميني المجادير يا عين
I when i say never, oh my dad the fatalism throw me away

وحشانى عيونه السودا ومدوبني الحنين يا عين
I miss his black eyes, oh my dad and it melting because of longing

متغرب والليالي يا بوي مش سايباني في حالي يا عين
I am in exile and the nights, oh my dad it doesn't leave me alone

والرمش اللي مجرحني يا بوي ضيعني وأنا كان مالي يا عين
and the eyelesh which hearting, oh my dad it made me lost and why it does that to me

يا رموش قتاله وجارحه يا بوي وعيون نيمانة وسارحة ياعين
an eyelesh which could kill and hearts, oh my dad and the eyes are sleeping

أديكي عمري بحاله يا بوي واديني انتي الفرحة ياعين
i give you my whole life, oh my dad, and you only give me the happiness

القلب الأخضراني يا بوي
the pure heart, oh my dad

دبلت فيه الأماني يا عين
i got wilt because of wishing

ولا قادر طول غيبتكوا يا بوي
and i can't bear your absence, oh my dad

يشرب من بحر تاني يا عين
it drinks from another sea

[jacaranda]

Great! Thanx a lot!

[Orwa]

You're always welcome, ask anytime

[larosa]

my song!!!
but a little thing,i don't think it's magadeer,i guess it's magadeel مجاديل

ana kole ma2ool ettobah yaboya termili el magadeeli ya 3ini
every time i say i'll repent ,she throws her hair plaits at me (and then he comes back to love her again)

[Orwa]

actually it was a difficult word for me, i thought he says القدر, hmmmm, we need an Egyptian native so she/he could explain it

[larosa]

cause you know ,the word is plural and the plural of قدر is اقدار
so if it were 9adar then the transliteration would a9dar
plus magadeer=ingredients has no meaning...
ok we'll wait for an egyptian to correct

[Orwa]

Yes, You're right, totally right , thank you for explaning, i am still learning because OUR language wonis very difficult

[larosa]

you mean arabic?

[Orwa]

Yes, do we have any other difficult language in this earth?

Btw, forgive my keyboard, as i type fast and on computer it is slower than i do, so it eats some letters

[larosa]

may be japonese,but arabic is hard for outlanders,but not for me
it's ok,we all have problems with our pc's

[larosa]

ok i checked again it's "magadeer"
although don't know what it means

[Orwa]

As i told you, Larosa, the most difficult langauge , have you ever heard that there's someone doesn't know a meaning of a work in his language

[larosa]

does it happen to be you if yes then let me know ,maybe i can help

[El~Egipcio]

Hi jacaranda, Orwa & larosa
the word is:
[مقادير : maqaadiir] as you already mentioned.

if you look for it , you'll find out that one of the word meanings is:
"ما يقضي به اللهُ على العباد" = 'qadar : destiny', and its plural is [مقادير : maqaadiir].

as you know, in some dialects the letter ق : Q is pronounced as G and that's why it's [magaadiir].

-------------
أنا كل ما قول التوبه يا بوي ترميني المقادير يا عين
I when i say: repentance [means: i repent of loving], oh my dad, the destines throw me [to love again].

وحشاني عيونه السودة يابوي ومدوبني الحنين يا عين
I miss his black eyes, oh my dad, and I'm melting by the longing.

-------------
القلب الأخضراني يا بوي ... دبلت فيه الأماني يا عين
[and that] green/pure heart [means his own heart], oh my dad, ... [got] its wishes wilted.

ولا قادر طول غيبتكوا يا بوي ... يشرب من بحر تاني يا عين
and it can't, long/during your absence, ... drink from another water*

* in Egyptian colloquial, the word: بحر ba7r : lit. sea, is commonly used for water space whether it's sea or river] ... and it's kinda metaphor that he can't love anyone but his beloved.

hope it's helpful :$

[larosa]

excuse me dear el egipsio, thanks a lot for your explanation
i listened to the song again ,and it's magadeer
but the problem is i don't think that the plural of "qadar" is "maqadeer"
it's "aqdar" and not maqadeer,as i'm concerned
maqadeer is the plural of qadr=ingredient
and it's really a problem if he meant "qadar",cause it will be absurd for every one,even a native speaker
don't you agree???

[Orwa]

Larosa, i think the word Magadeer is كلمة صعيدية, because the song has several words of Saidia's accent.., so i think even Egypci doesn't know what it mean, or i am mistaken?!?!?

El-Raisaaaaaa, Come and help us

[larosa]

i really don't know,let's wait

[El~Egipcio]

you're welcome larosa ...
well, it's my wrong, cause i didn't explain it enough.
[maqadiir/magadiir] is not pl. of [qadar]. but it's pl. of [miqdaar].

so, the word is: [magadeer/magadiir] which is originally [maqadiir] due to the fact that some dialects pronounce the Q as G - and it is the plural of: [miqdaar/migdaar , dialect]

[qadar] s. ----> pl. is [aqdaar]
[miqdaar] s. ---> pl. is [maqdiir]

Concedring the meaning of miqdaar/maqadiir/magadiir:
as i told you, if we look for the word in a lexicon we'll find that the word has many many meanings and one of the meanings is Destiny.

P.S
some of what lexicons have meantioned about the word miqdaar/maqadiir:

1. al 3ain lexicon:
المِقدارُ: اسم القدر، إذا بلغ العبد المِقدارَ مات
والأشياء مقادير أي لكل شيء مقدارٍ وأجلٍ

2. lisaan al 3arab:
قَدَرْتُ الشيءَ أَي: هيأْتُه، وقَدْرُ كل شيءٍ، ومِقْدارُه: مَبْلَغُه
المِقْدارُ: اسمُ القَدْر، إِذا بلغ العبدُ المِقْدارَ مات
ويقال: "إِنما الأَشياءُ مقاديرُ، لكل شيء مِقْدارٌ

3. al qamuus al mu7iit:
القَدَرُ.....، المِقْدار

4. al wajiiz?
المقدار: "ما يقضي به اللهُ على العباد" (ج) مقادير

Thanks Orwa, that's what i'm talking about, but it's not كلمة صعيدية, it's just an arabic word pronounced in Sa3idi accent


I hope i made it clear this time!! :$ :$

[larosa]

ah clear now,cause didn'tknow that the word ma9adeer has that much meanings
thanks a lot

[El raisa]

[El raisa]

You are welcome my dear brother , wait for me in the Syrian dialect , I tried to translate one by Asala for Layla & lost some meanings !!!

[gitana]

I'm bumping this because this was a very useful thread.
Did you guys know this song is actually based on a saidi song sung by the child singer fairouz?
this is the reason for the saidi accent?
