Need English TRANSLITERATIONS for the following George Wassouf songs!

Hey, everyone--I am new here.

I've been listening to Arabic music all my life (it's some of the greatest music in the world), yet I don't speak an ounce of Arabic. For that reason, I need transliterations in order to get a sense of the words being spoken, for I like to be able to at least sing along to some of them. I can already sing Nabil Shueil's 'Ma Arwaak' from memory, and with perfect pronunciation.

Due to there being a lack of transliterations for George Wassouf songs, I'd like to ask for some. George Wassouf is definitely one of my favorite artists. So, I'd like to ask for transliterations of the following:

(Note that I'd like these to be Arabic lyrics with the Roman alphabet! An English translation is a bonus, but I don't care for those too much. Once Arabic is translated in English, a lot of the meaning is manipulated.)

1. Oul El Kelmetein

2. Tabib Gharah

3. Mahma 7atfakari

4. Kil Yom

5. Sehert El Leyel

6. Koulena Majarih

7. Helef El Amar

8. And I know THIS one isn't GW, but I really like 'Lei Ya Gharam', by Nabil Shueil and haven't been able to find a transliteration anywhere online.

---------------------

I do not expect a single person to do all of these, so if ONE is the most someone can do, I am fine with that! Hopefully I can get as many of these as possible. I'd like to be able to speak the lyrics without prior knowledge of the Arabic alphabet.

Type wassouf at the search forum and you'll find dozens of his songs

I wasn't asking for a translation, I am still technically asking for the lyrics, but in my alphabet instead of the Arabic alphabet. That's why it's a transliteration, rather than a translation.

OH, WOW - I forgot to check back on this thread! Sorry that I didn't see this earlier; you really put a lot of work into these transliterations. Thank you so much for taking the time to create these for me. Hopefully others who are also wanting such transliterations will fall upon this thread and benefit from your work.

Thanks again - big help.
