Hi all - I really like the Mohamed Abdo song Asrar el 3ayoun, and I wondered if someone could help me by translating the lyrics into English? A friend helped me to find the lyrics in Arabic script (below) and a version of the song online (http://www.6arab.net/ViewSong/191417.html). An english transliteration would be nice too, but maybe that's a bit too cheeky!

Thanks in advance


الله اكبر يوم ضحكـت بالعيـون نادت محمد وأنا فيهـا سرحـت

لو تنادي ع البشر كلهـم يجـون الا انا من لهفتي ماجيـت رحـت

شفتها ونسيت نفسي مـن اكـون مااقدراوصف ماجرالي لو شرحت

شعرة مابيـن عقلـي والجنـون لواقطعتها كان من الحب استرحت

ناظرتني واخطفت قلبـي بهـون بعد ماأنا من نواظرها انجرحـت

جيت ابسأل وين قلبـي يافتـون قاطعتني لا لا تسأل لو سمحـت

راحت وقلبي تبعها فـي سكـون وأنا ودعتـه وبوداعـه فرحـت

ادري انه في وسط قلـبٍ حنـون وادري اني غارق ٍ مهما سبحـت

فجأة نادتني وصحّت بي ظنـون فقت من حلم ٍ معه لبعيـد رحـت

اثرني سرحان في ذيـك العيـون يوم أنا بعيونها لحظـة سرحـت

Does no one else like this song, or did I ask all wrong?

you just have to wait til someone translated it . it can take some time but it will happen (:

Thanks moldoveanu - I'll be more patient...

i loved this song ..



الله اكبر يوم ضحكـت بالعيـون نادت محمد وأنا فيهـا سرحـت
Oh God, when she laughed, with her eyes she called out “Mohammed”, and in her I day dreamed
لو تنادي ع البشر كلهـم يجـون الا انا من لهفتي ماجيـت رحـت
If she calls out to all the people they would come, except for me from me yearning I wouldn’t come, I would go
شفتها ونسيت نفسي مـن اكـون مااقدراوصف ماجرالي لو شرحت
I saw her, and I forgot who I am, no matter how I explain it I cant describe what happened to me
شعرة مابيـن عقلـي والجنـون لواقطعتها كان من الحب استرحت
A thin hair exists between sanity and insanity, if I cut it I would be eased away from love
ناظرتني واخطفت قلبـي بهـون بعد ماأنا من نواظرها انجرحـت
She looked at me, and kidnapped me heart easily, after I was wounded from her glances
جيت ابسأل وين قلبـي يافتـون قاطعتني لا لا تسأل لو سمحـت
I came to ask where is my heart oh pretty one, she interrupted me and said “no no please don’t ask”
راحت وقلبي تبعها فـي سكـون وأنا ودعتـه وبوداعـه فرحـت
She left, and my heart followed her in silence, I said goodbye to my heart, and with this goodbye I felt happiness
ادري انه في وسط قلـبٍ حنـون وادري اني غارق ٍ مهما سبحـت
I know that it will be in the middle of a kind heart, and I know that im drowning no matter how much I swim
فجأة نادتني وصحّت بي ظنـون فقت من حلم ٍ معه لبعيـد رحـت
Suddenly she called out for me, and woke up my doubts, I woke up from a dream with him, I went far away
اثرني سرحان في ذيـك العيـون يوم أنا بعيونها لحظـة سرحـت
It turned out that I was day dreaming in those eyes, when for a moment I day dreamed in them


enjoy sweetz .. if there's anything you dont get lemi know =D

Gole Yas - Shukran!

I love the sound of the song, now I understand the lyrics it is *more* beautiful!

I have just one more question: does the mention of Allah and Mohamed make this a religious song? From the lyrics it seems like a love song to me, but I just wanted to clarify.

I'm not great with khaliji dialect, but I think you're right in thinking its a love song The mention of 'allah' is just like saying 'God!' in english, and normally instead of cheering, you'll find many arabs saying 'allah allah' like wow

As to the mention of Muhammad and Futoon, I think they're just names

Aaah hone ana fakart 3am y2ol futoon as the name

I think hay sokoon habibti mish sokoot, in contentment instead of in silence?

Thanks so much for clarifying VivaPalestina

Hehe .. as viva mentioned.. mentioning Allah just means somthing in the lines of "God!" "Oh My!" or "Wow"

as for mohammed, it states out that she was calling out his name =P nothin to do with the prophet peace be upon him

as for futoon my beloved wife viva .. it miiiight mean a name, bout i doubt it, because futoon is usually used as "pretty one", and if it was the name of the girl then most probably the song will have the title of her name too..

emm.. transliteration done by viva already =D..

and.. what else.. skoon might mean silence, contentment, even peace.. so i used one of the words in mind ..

hehe =D anything else ?
