I've just discovered Fairouz, am deliriously happy with her music, but need some help finding an english translation for this song. I do have the arabic lyrics (at least, I am pretty sure this is the right song).

Any help with translation to english would be very much appreicated.


أنا لحبيبي وحبيبي إلي
يا عصفورة بيضا لا بقى تسألي
لا يعتب حدا ولا يزعل حدا
أنا لحبيبي وحبيبي إلي
حبيبي ندهني قللي الشتي راح
ورجعت اليمامة وزهّر التفاح
وأنا على بابي الندي والصباح
وبعيونِك ربيعي نوّر وحلي
وندهني حبيبي جيت بلا سؤال
من نومي سرقني من راحة البال
وأنا على دربو ودربو ع الجمال
يا شمس المحبة حكايتنا اغزلي

Very nice song .

Hey !
well it's hard a little bit, because it's like a poem, but I tried my best !

أنا لحبيبي وحبيبي إلي
ana la 7abeeby o 7abeeby ely
I'm for my lover, and my lover is mine
يا عصفورة بيضا لا بقى تسألي
ya 3assfoura bayda, la ba2a tes2aly
Oh white bird, stop asking
لا يعتب حدا ولا يزعل حدا
la ye3tab 7ada, wala yez3al 7ada
no blame, no sadness
أنا لحبيبي وحبيبي إلي
ana la 7abeeby o 7abeeby ely
I'm for my lover, and my lover is mine

حبيبي ندهني قللي الشتي راح
7abeeby nadahni 2alle el shete ra7
my lover called me, and said " the winter has gone"
ورجعت اليمامة وزهّر التفاح
o rej3et el yamameh, zahhar el tefa7
and the dove came, and the blooms of apple have grown
وأنا على بابي الندي والصباح
o ana 3ala baby, el-nede o el-saba7
and I'm beside my door, the dew and morning
وبعيونِك ربيعي نوّر وحلي
o be-3younak rabee3y nawwar o 7elii
and my spring became lighter and more beautiful in your eyes

وندهني حبيبي جيت بلا سؤال
o nadahni 7abeeby, jeet bla sou2al
and my lover called me, and i came without a question
من نومي سرقني من راحة البال
men nawmi sara2ni, men ra7et el-bal
he stole me from sleeping, and from the comfort
وأنا على دربو ودربو ع الجمال
o ana 3ala darbo, o darbo 3a el-jamal
and I'm on his way, and his way is beauty
يا شمس المحبة حكايتنا اغزلي
ya shams el-ma7abbe 7kayetna ghzelii
oh the sun of love (???) our love

Thank you LoOlya.
Maybe the last verse can be translated in that way :

يا شمس المحبة حكايتنا اغزلي
ya shams el-ma7abbe 7kayetna ghzelii
Oh sun of love/kind sun make happy our (love) story

What do you think ?

You're welcome gbasfora !

ghzelii actually means tailor\tailoring, so maybe it will be
oh the sun of love tailor our (love) story
so maybe here she means ( she is saying to the sun of love "oh sun, please tailor our love story to be bigger and nicer for ever)

don't know ! i said what I've realized !
any other opinions ?!

I was thinking about the song bint el shalabyeh for Fairouz :

و سمعني غناني يا عيوني و أتغزل فيا

Thank you so so very much. I looked for hours trying to find the lyrics to this one. The only thing I found was the first line, which someone had translated to "I belong to my love, my love belongs to me."

(Thank you also gbasfora. I wish I could have watched the utube video, but unfortunately my computer is too old and slow.)

You are welcome. Just click the thank you button under the Loolya's post in case you want to thank her

almost all fairouz lyrics can be found here :

it's very weird......i've checked the link right now and it's working good. there are inside it the list of all songs for fairouz and the albums. Let's wait for the answer of another members. Maybe the problem is the configuration of your pc ...well I don't know.

The youtube link is also working good

I see....the problem is the configuration. Click on "exhibit/display" then click on "codification" then click on "more" and finally click on "arabic windows". Now you will be able to see the lyrics in arabic.

Good luck
