فتاة أصيلة بعمر القدر
Ftato aseela bi 3mr el qadar
سموت بها عن قلوب البشر
Samawto biha 3n qolob el bashar


وراحت عيوني لمرآها تعلو
W ra7at 3ioni li mar2aha t3lo

أسبّح مبدعها فيما صور
Osabbi7o mobdi3aha fima sawwar


فها قطعة من رخام تعشّق
Fa-ha qit3aton min ro5am ta3ash-shaqa
رائحة الياسمين فأزهر
Ra2i7ata el yasameen-i fa azhar

جوري وريحان،مسك وعنبر
Jori wa ray7ano, miskon wa 3nbar
فاح بصرح تلوّن اخضر
Fa7 bi sar7in tallawwan a5dar


علاه هلال وزان حلاه
3laho hilal w zan 7laho
أذان باسم الخلّاق كبّر
Athanon bi esmi el 5llaqi kabbar


زاد دقات الاجراس عيداً
Zad daqqati el ajrasi 3edan
نداء صلاة بها الروح تطهر
Nida2o salati biha erro7 tadhar


فتعبق بالبخّور مطارح
Fa ta3baqo bil ba55or matari7a
يحنو بها كل قلب تحجر
Y7ni biha kolla qalbin ta7ajjar


شآم انت فتاتي وأمي
Shaam anti ftati wa ommi
حضنت صباي فهل فيك أكبر
7danti sibaya fahal feeki akbar


فما أفعل كي أنال رضاك
Fma af3al kai anala ridaki
وفيك بذرت صباي وأبشر
Wa feeki batharto sabaya w abshar


فهل من يزغرد ويعلي نداء
Fhal man yoza3'rido wa yo3li nida2an
لفرحة قلب بجرح تخمّر
Li far7ati qalbin bi jor7in ta5ammar


هو وعد دهري فياليت قبري
Howa wa3do dahri fa ya laita qabri
وفستان عرسي بفلّك يعمر
Wa fostan 3orsi bi folliki ya3mar.... Shaam

before i begin thanks for a beautiful song...
these oldies are so hard to find, so i wonder how did you...


fetatun saghirah be omr el qadar
semut beha 'an qulup el bashar
a small girl at the age of the moon
(semut = i'll die?) with her with the hearts of humanity


we rahat oyuni le meraaha taalu
astabih mubdi'aha fima sawwar
and my eyes looked up at her gaze
I glorify the Creator for envisioning her

feha qit'atun min rukham ta'shaq
raihat el yasemine faazhar
in it a piece of marble she loves
the smell of jasmines blossomed


juri we reyhan, misk we anbar
fah be sarh beluwn akhdar
Gori , basil, musk and amber
keep out the taste with the green color

alah helalun wezan helahu
azan baism alkhallaq kabbar
on its sky a crescent and .......
an Azan in the name of the Creator it says "Allahu Akbar"

zad daqqat al agras eidan
nida salatun biha al ruh tatahar
the increased ringing of the bells, a holiday
a call to prayers in itthe soul is purified


fata'buq bilbukhur matarih
yehinnu beha kul qalbin tahajjar
the incense are piled in places
yearning in it every pertified heart


chaam'un anti fatati we ommi
hazantuki sabaya fa hel fik akbar?
Damascus you are my daughter and mother
I embraced you in my youth, will I grow up within you?

fema af'al ke anal redaki
we fiki bed'ert sabaya we abshar
what must I do to earn your blessings?
For I've sown my youth and preached inside you

fe hel men yezaghrrid we yu'li nida'an
le farhit qalbun bjurhin takahmmar
For if those who make trills increase their inquries
to the delight of the heart who's wounds are fermented

hu waad dehri fiaylayt qabri
we fustan 'ursi befulki ya'mar
its is a promise that forever live, i hope until my grave
and until my wedding gown withers..


it's very tough to translate for me.. hopefully someone else can make corrections. i translated as best as I can...

had i not liked the song i wouldn't have tried
enjoy

oriee. u got it from youtube? lol had just posted it there

Thank you so much!!

My pleasure, enjoy!

I was really happy to see some people interested in a Syrian song and I tried to translate the song the best way I could hopefully you'll get the meaning
If not don't be shy ask me and I'll clear it up cause it's a tough one for native arabs just as well

This song is about the city of Damascus, where the singer is originally from and the Translation of it is like this:
An original girl as old as destiny itself
I raised her up over the humanity love(1)
And my eyes got up high just looking at her, glorifying the Maker about what He drew
And that is a piece of marble soaked the Jasmine Scent up and thus blossomed
Into Jury(2), Basil, Musk and Ambergris (3)
This evaporated across a Green coloured monument
Topped off with a crescent and adorned with
Prayer calls cherishing the name of the Creator
Adding to the delight of the Church Bells ringing a delight
Of the prayer call in which Souls are purified
And some places were sweet with incense
In which tenderising(4) every hardened heart
Damascus you're my Daughter and my Mother
I grew up in you but would I grow old too??
So what should I do to gain your blessings?
Yet I've sown my youth around you and willingly more I'd do
And who would trill and raise up the announcement of
A thrilled heart of a fermented wound
And this is my vow so I wish that my grave
Just as my wedding dress, would be adorned with your Full.
1.I love her beyond than the love known for human.
2.Jury is the common name of the Damascus Rose which has a heavy sweet scent.
3.These are the names of the scents which are considered as the purest sweetness.
4. Tenderise is the exact meaning of Yahnou which also means soften

Wow thanks a lot, you explained it with even the smallest detail. The song sounds like a beautiful poem, now it makes more sense to me Shukran Kitheer!

It's a beautiful poem really,I am so pleased that you liked it, and you are welcome
