Hiam Younes W Abdo Moussa - Safer ya Habibi

Hi,

I need help to finish my translation of that folk song .

http://www.4shared.com/file/10701219...ya_habibi.html

سافر يا حبيبي و أرجع
Travel, my beloved, and return
لا تـطول بـالله الغيبـــة
By God , do not prolongue your absence.
و الـدار بـعدك أظـلـــم
The house after you became darker
الله أعـطـاك الـهيبـــــة
God has given you the prestige

قـلبي يحبك و يريدك
My heart loves and wants you
و يش طالع بيدي و بيدك
How much (?) is it showed up by our hands ?????
مدري المحبّة من الله
I don't know the love from God ??????????
و لا بردة عضيدك
......................your support/aid/help ????????????

أهلي و ربعي يا حبيبي
My people.................Oh my beloved
على حبك عادوني
They cut me off your love ???????????
و لو يسقوني من الخظل
And if they satiate me from .....................
عنك ما يبعدوني
They will not distance me from you /distance us

لا تغربلين القمح
Don't...........the wheat
و لا تضمرين زلوفك
And don't weaken your dignity ??????????????
حارم عليّ الزيجة
Poor me ! The wedding ?????????????
ما طول عيني تشوفك
While my eyes don't see you ?????????????

والله يسا محهم هلي
And God...............................
فرقوا بيني و بينك
they stired up between you and me/between us
و أنا أعطيك عهد
But I promise you
عيني ما تفارق عينك
That my eyes will not quit yours/your eyes

Thanks in advance

Anyone ?......................it's missing just few words my friends.

كتبت أغنية جديدة

ليش زعلانين قولولي
ما تخبوا ياالله احكولي
شو صارلكو شوجرالكو
ما اعطيتو جواب لي
ليش ليش ليش
انتو زعلانين قولولي

no dear ,we're not angry,it's that i'm not libanese and some of the expressions seem so hard and even meaningless to me,i don't know what she's saying,if i translated this song you'd do better than me

did my best ,still there are things are not clear to me

والله يسا محهم هلي
And Godmay god forget my parents...............................

حارم عليّ الزيجة
Poor me ! The wedding ?????????????
shall wedding be forbidden to me

لا تغربلين *القمح
Don't...........the wheat
tgharblin is an action came from the word "ghorbal" and it's used to clean wheat so he's telling her not to clean the wheat
أهلي و ربعي يا حبيبي
My people.................Oh my belo
my parents and family oh my beloved

My people.................Oh my beloved

على حبك عادوني
They cut me off your love ???????????
they are being my enemies in case i love you
و لو يسقوني من الخظل
And if they satiate me from .....................
i guess it's "7andhal" and not "hadhal" as it's written above (a very very bitter plants)

really sorry

Thank you Larosa. Those lyrics were just a funny way of trying to get an answer to my request. I've corrected the translation according your suggestions. I hope a lebanese could help us to finish the translation.

أهلي و ربعي يا حبيبي
My parents and my family Oh my beloved
على حبك عادوني
are being my enemies Because of your love
و لو يسقوني من الحنظل
And even they satiate me with a bitter fruit
عنك ما يبعدوني
They will not distance me from you

لا تغربلين القمح
Don't sift the wheat
و لا تضمرين زلوفك
And don't weaken your dignity ??????????????
حارم عليّ الزيجة
Shall wedding be forbidden to me ?
ما طول عيني تشوفك
While my eyes don't see you ?????????????

بالله: means here promise me
و الـدار بـعدك أظـلـــم
The house after you became darker
الله أعـطـاك الـهيبـــــة

neither me nor you can handle it

Love comes without planning
(i.e when you love someone you, you love/like his withour thinking, and with no clear reason)
و لا بردة عضيدك
......................your support/aid/help ????????????
وإلا بإرادة عضيدك
or with your lover's help/ will
عضيد means helper/ supporter/ the one who agrees with your actions. And they meant here by this word, your love

أهلي و ربعي يا حبيبي
My parents and my family Oh my beloved
على حبك عادوني
are being my enemies Because of your love
و لو يسقوني من الحنظل
And even they satiate me with a bitter fruit
حنظل: I could find it in my dictionary as colocynth
عنك ما يبعدوني
They will not distance me from you
(even if they satiated me with colocynth, I wish they don't take me from you/ distance me from you)
or I agree that they satiate me with colocynth, مقابل not distancing us

لا تغربلين القمح
Don't sift the wheat
و لا تضمرين زلوفك
And don't weaken your dignity ??????????????
Don't hide you sideburns
حارم عليّ الزيجة
Shall wedding be forbidden to me ?
I forbid myself from marrying
ما طول عيني تشوفك
While my eyes don't see you ?????????????
As long as my eyes don't see you

والله يسا محهم هلي
May God forget my parents
فرقوا بيني و بينك
they stired up you and me
و أنا أعطيك عهد
But I promise you
عيني ما تفارق عينك
That my eyes will not quit your eyes

Thanks Again Larosa

Lol you are welcome

الله يسعد كلنا

Just one question : و لا تضمرين زلوفك / Don't hide your sideburns
Are you sure about sideburns ? I guess sideburns mean hair that grows down the sides of a man’s face in front of his ears and in this song Abdo mousa (the singer) is singing to a woman

It shouldnt' be a part of the beard.

I mean women also can bring their hair infront of their ears and so will be called سوالف too (زلوف is bedouin word), what do you think?

I see. Searching in dictionaries I've got : سالفة / سوالف side of the neck so maybe it could be translated into : don't hide the hair on your face/neck. Do you agree on that ?

I don't know what to say but swalif, with sidebirds meaning is word for everyday usage, I mean I don't think we need a dictionary for it, anyhow
السالفة ج. سوالف: صفحة العنق عند معلق القرط
صفحة تعني جانب
So it seems that it means as you posted , side of the neck(but becareful at sides near the earlobes) but, in dictionary, but when using it, it means sidebirds.
