Translate words from Eh elli garali?

I saw the translations of it in the album 7 thread but some of the words and lyrics were confusing or didn't sound right. If someone can please translate I would really appreciate it.



Kan liya fein ana koli da

Ya shagheli bali

albi wadeit tul athsabo

da eli mamil'tish hisabo

Ah ya albi meli feena mein hay7is beena

Kont hayfa min gharamak, albi dawib dob kalam

Yama alo elhob aderli kilma 3alaina

Kan el alb ra’di bwahditi we ba3eesh fi hali

we bna’sra wahda sh’3iltini kan bas mali


Thanks in advance.

Well i am not sure I just tried to do my best[however this also might sound for you bad


Kan liya fein ana koli da
Ya shagheli bali

كان ليا فين انا كل ده ياشغلى بالى

in my opinion she means something like this:"where all these problems were hidden"[it is hard to translate it literally]
or [where were all this problem]I kept worried myself



albi wadeit tul athsabo
da eli mamil'tish hisabo

قلبى وديته راح عذابه ده اللى معملتش حسابه
I sent my heart off i tortured it and you didnt take it into consideration



I sent my heart off i tortured it and you didnt take it into consideration
Ah ya albi meli feena mein hay7is beena

Kont hayfa min gharamak, albi dawib dob kalam
اه ياقلبى من اللى فينا مين هيحس بينا
كنت خايفه من غرامك قلبى دوب ددوب كلامك

oh my heart who are with us whoi feels for us
I was afraid cos of your love my heart melted with your speech


Yama alo elhob aderli kilma 3alaina

ياما قالوا الحب قادر بكلمه علينا

how many times they said the love can be for us [as] a one word


Kan el alb ra’di bwahditi we ba3eesh fi hali

كان القلب راضى بوحدتى وبعيش فى حالى

The heart was pleased with my loneliness and in living on my own

we bna’sra wahda sh’3iltini kan bas mali
وبنظره واحده شغلتنى كان بس مالى

and with one glance you preoccupied me what was wrong with me

thank you so much I understand a bit better now. But i m still don't fully understand some of it... Can you do a word by word translation for the following lyrics:

Kan liya fein ana koli da
Ya shagheli bali

albi wadeit tul athsabo
da eli mamil'tish hisabo


I know its hard to make sense of it english but i just want a better understanding of what the song is about. anyways I reeaally appreciate it.

Kan liyya feen ana kol da, ya shaghelly baly:
"Was for-me where I all that, oh he-linger-at-me my-mind ("yeshghel bal" means to "linger on sb's mind/keep one's mind busy")

"2alby wdeeto ra7 3azabo, da elly ma3meltesh 7esabo":
My-heart and-I-sent-him he went [through] torture-his, this the-one not-you-did calculation-his


As I do not speak natively arabic, I tried my best, but please, someone correct my mistakes.

It's just that if you listen to the song it sounds like:

alby wadi tol atsabo instead of "2alby wdeeto ra7 3azabo"

So it's hard to figure out the translation from text. If someone can listen to the song and translate, and explain what the message is, i'd appreciate. Thanks for your effort.

Well, for me, it sounds like "2alby waddeeto el 3azabo", meaning "I gave my heart [to] torture."

What does 'ma3meltesh 7esabo' mean??

@ KittyKat

ma3meltesh 7esabo means i didn't prepare for it or i didn't expect it

what's the name of the song and singer? and tell me what exactly ur question is

The song is Eh elli garali by Nancy Ajram. There is another translation of it in the forum but either it's wrong or very confusing. I just wanted a better understanding of it because I really like it. If it's no trouble can you please translate some of these lyrics for me, so that it actually makes sense in english?

@ KittyKat

instead of correcting, i've translated the whole song for u from 0, here's the translation:

Eh eli garali, leh keda, bashar layali
What's wrong with me? I can't sleep

Kan leya fen ana kol da, ya sha3'elli bali
I've never thought I'd be like that, you who has become all that I think of


Albi wadeto l3azabo
I'm responsibe for making my heart suffer

Dalli ma3amltesh 7esabo
And this is what I didn't prepare for

Ah ya albi meli feena, meen hay7es beena?
Oh my heart, how much we suffer, who's gonna feel our suffering?

Kont 5ayfa men 3'aramak
I was afraid of your love

Albi tawehto bkalamak
You've made my heart lost

Yama alo el 7ob ader be kelma 3alena
People always warn of love and how it can - even by 1 word - affect us


Eh eli garali, leh keda, bashar layali
What's wrong with me? I can't sleep

Kan leya fen ana kol da, ya sha3'elli bali
I've never thought I'd be like that, you who has become all that I think of


Kan el alb radi be we7deti we ba3esh fe 7ali
My heart was happy when I was alone, having no one in my life

We bnazra wa7da sha3'alteni, kan bas mali
And by only 1 look of your eyes you've become everything I think of, I was happy before


Albi wadeto l3azabo
I'm responsibe for making my heart suffer

Dalli ma3amltesh 7esabo
And this is what I didn't prepare for

Ah ya albi meli feena, meen hay7es beena?
Oh my heart, how much we suffer, who's gonna feel our suffering?

Kont 5ayfa men 3'aramak
I was afraid of your love

Albi tawehto bkalamak
You've made my heart lost

Yama alo el 7ob ader be kelma 3alena
People always warn of love and how it can - even by 1 word - affect us


Eh eli garali, leh keda, bashar layali
What's wrong with me? I can't sleep

Kan leya fen ana kol da, ya sha3'elli bali
I've never thought I'd be like that, you who has become all that I think of

THANK YOU SOOOOOO MUCH!! You are my hero! I love the translation...
