ليلة عيد - الأخوين رحباني

ليلة عيد ليلة عيد الليلة ليلة عيد
laylet 3aeed laylet 3aeed ellayle laylet 3aeed
It's christmas eve , it's christmas eve
زينة و ناس صوت جراس عم بترن بعيد
Zene w nas sawt ejras 3am betren be3eed
Ornaments and people and the sound of the bells ringing far away
ليلة عيد ليلة عيد الليلة ليلة عيد
laylet 3aeed laylet 3aeed ellayle laylet 3aeed
It's christmas eve , it's christmas eve
صوت ولاد تياب جداد و بكرا الحب جديد
Sawt oulad teab ijdad w boukra el7oubb ejded
kids talking ,colored clothes and tomorrow a new love (not sure : جداد)

عم يتلاقوا الأصحاب بهديي خلف الباب
3am etlaou elas7ab lihidiy khalf elbab
Friends will find out gifts behind the door
في سجرة بالدار و يدوروا ولاد صغار
Fi sajra beddar w idouro oulad izghar
There is a christmas tree at home and kids running around it
و السجرة صارت عيد و العيد اسوارة بأيد
W essajra saret 3aeed w el3aeed isouara beayd
And the tree became a holiday and the holiday a bracelet in hand (not sure)
و الأيد تعلق عالسجرة غنيي و عناقيد
w elayd ta3ala 3assajra ghinnyi w 3anaeed
And the hand hung up on the tree songs and grapes (not sure)

يا مغارة كلا بيوت تلمع متل الياقوت
Ya mghara killa byout telma3 mitl elyaout
nativity scenes in every home shine like a sapphire
كيف جبتي عالدار تلج شرايط و قمار
Keef jebty 3addar telj shraeet w amar
How ???? To the house snow ribbon and games (not sure)
مين اللي جاي بعيد عم بيرش مواعيد
Men elli jay ba3eed w 3am beresh maou3eed
That one who is coming from a distant place is spraying dates (not sure)
يدق بواب الناس و يمشي و الخير علينا يزيد
ide2 bouab ennas w imshy w elkhayr 3alayna izeed
He knocks on people's doors and goes walking and everything becomes better


Thanks in advance

I only was checking and i noticed a a little thing, 3id is never Christams, in the song she is talking about Christams but you know the Eid means a holiday.

Your translation is very wonderful, i only thought i would add once thing

صوت ولاد تياب جداد و بكرا الحب جديد
Sawt oulad teab ijdad w boukra el7oubb ejded
Kids' sound, New clothes & tomorrow the love is new.

But ya عروة in this song, eid means Christmas. Also if you notice it's mostly shown on Christmas... I will check it in few hours... Hopefully

Ya Oriee, i mentioned that she's talking about the Christams, but actually when someone tells me Eid i would directly remember the two Eids, the Christams is Christams in Arabic

Hi Orwa and Oriee ,

That's what i've found out :

Christmas Eve (24th December) ليلة عيد الميلاد
Christmas Day (25th December) : عيد الميلاد

So the song is about the christmas eve . I guess the author shortened its name just because it would be impossible to sing the whole expression .

العيد اسوارة بإيد
the holyday (became) a braclet around a wrist

و الأيد تعلق عالسجرة غنية و عناقيد
The hand is hanging song and panicle on the tree

كيف جبتي عالدار تلج شرايط و قمار
How you brought to the house snow, ribbons and moons

مين اللي جاي بعيد عم بيرش مواعيد
I think it's bi 3eid not b3eid
The one who's coming at Holyday, giving dates to everyone

(I hear her singing عم يتلاقوا الاصحاب، الهدية خلف الباب)

أحسنت صنعا يا صديقي عصفورة

Thank you Oriee for the corrections. Just a question : I guess she is talking about Santa Klaus (بابا نويل)when she says مين اللي جاي بعيد عم بيرش مواعيد. What do you think ?

Bye and thanks again

Yes, that's what jumped to my mind as soon as I read the lyrics. Y3ni in fact the first tow part are more familiar to me, as I save them by heart

Yani bery sensilbe

Another thing I'd like to add, related to اسوارة بايد, generally in arabic we use يد for examply the meaning of watch is ساعة يد eventhough you wear it around the wrist not on your hand.
I think it's nonesense in Enlish, isn't it?

Stay Well

The translation already corrected :

ليلة عيد ليلة عيد الليلة ليلة عيد
laylet 3aeed laylet 3aeed ellayle laylet 3aeed
It's christmas eve , it's christmas eve
زينة و ناس صوت جراس عم بترن بعيد
