there you go ~
يا قلب صارلك من سنين سنين
oh heart, for years years you've been
تركض وراهن بس يا مسكين
running after them but oh poor you
حاجي ورا أهل الحلا ماشي
walking after those who are beautiful
بتتعب ومش رح يتعبوا الحلوين
you're tired but they'll never be tired
***
يا ظريف الطول ويا بو الميجانا
oh you with the cute figure/tall figure
يا بو العيون السود شو بحبك أنا
oh with the black eyes how much I love you
ويا ظريف الطول طولك هدّني
oh you with the cute figure you're height tired me
كنت رايح بطريقي ردّني
I was going on my way it rejected me
هالله هالله يا دني شو هالدني
oh Allah oh life he made me tired
جافيتنا ونسيت أيام الهنا
you went away/didn't ask about us and forgot about the lovely days (we had together)
***
يا ظريف الطول يا طول الحلو
oh you with the cute figure and the sweet height
يا زنبق ونسمة هوا بتميله
oh you tulip and the breeze of air is too much for it (implying to the fitness of this person)
مرقتوا علينا وليش ما بتميّلوا
you passed by us and why didn't you come to us/reach us
تغامزوا الجيران وعرفوا شو بنا
neighbors winked at each other and knew what was between us
***
يا ظريف الطول يا جار الرضا
oh you with the cute figure oh you're a perfect neighbor
حبك على قلبي بدمعاته مضى
you're love on my heart, with its tears passed
وما بقى من العمر أكثر ما مضى
and there's nothing left of life that has already passed
خلّي الليالي الباقية رقص وغنا
let the nights to come, be dancing and singing
***
بنغنّي ..... ما بنغني ..... لأ بنغني
we sing? we don't sing? no we'll sing
ليل مضوّي ودنيتنا صارت جنّه
a glowing night and our life has become like heaven
ويا طير ال بالزعرورة وغاوية زهورها
and oh you bird and the flowers
لمّا ـ ن بتروح تزورها اسألها عنّي
when you go see her, ask her about me
ويا إم الشلحه الحمرا يضحك عمرها لفتة من عيون السمرا بتجنني
and you with the red cloth (?) its laughing, she's making me crazy with her dark eyes
The hours of pain have yielded good,
Which prosperous days refused;
As herbs, though scentless when entire,
Spread fragrance when they’re bruised.
