Karim Naguib - Haya Mn Gheir Malameh

Hi! I was wondering if anyone could post some lyrics + a translation for this song: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iuI8li4eHFQ&feature=plcp

Thank you!!

Here are the lyrics in Arabic & below the transcription and under that the (not too) poor attempt of a translation:

عايش حياة من غير ملامح
3âyesh 7ayah men gher malâme7
I live a life without features
تايه في حلمي ومخي سارح
Tâyih fi 7elmy w mokhkhy sâre7
Lost in my dream and my head, wandering
ماشي بدندن في الشوارع
Mâshy badanden fi el shawâre3
Walking the streets while humming
والناس تصرخ .. ناس تسارع
W el nas tisarrekh, nas tisâre3
While the other people yell and hurry
وانا في طريقي للحني سامع
W ana fi ṭarî2y li la7ny sâme3
[B]And me, listening to my song on the way[B]
دي الكلمة أرض وانا المزارع
Di el kelmah arḍ w ana el mozâre3
That is the soil's word and I am the farmer
على فين يا دنيا مودياني؟
3ala fein yâ donyâ mwaddeyany?
Where are you taking me, oh world?
على فين يا دنيا المواجع؟
3ala fein ya donyet el mwâge3?
Where to, oh world's ache?
ويسألوني يابني مالك
w yes2alôny yâbny mâlak
And they ask me: "Oh boy, (something, can't make anything senseful out of it, maybe "Oh wealthy boy"?)"
وايه اللي داير في خيالك؟
W eih elly dâyer fi khayâlak?
And what is it, you are searching for in your imagination?
أرد اقول حلمي بيكبر
Arodd a2ool 7elmy byekber
I answer, I say; my dreams are growing
أرد اقول طب وأنت مالك
Arodd a2ool ṭabb w enta mâlak
I answer, I say; but you are wealthy, too!
شئ صعب يوم تبقى في مكاني
Shey ṣa3b yôm teb2a fi makâny
One day, something difficult will be in my place (I bet that is some idiom unknown to me?! )
من الصعب يوم ابقى في مكانك
Men el ṣa3b yôm ab2a fi makânek
From that difficulty one day I'll be in your place (Again, guessing it is tied together with that idiom...)
دي حكايتي مش سهلة دي صعبة
Di 7ekâyety mosh sahlah di ṣa3bah
This story of mine is not easy, it's hard
خليك معايا وهحكيهالك
Khalleek ma3aya w ha7keihalek
Stay with me and I shall tell you
قالولى حلمك حبل دايب
2âlooly 7elmek 7abl dâyeb
They said "Your dream's a vanishing rope" (?)
وفضلت ساكت وبراقب
W fḍelt sâket w barâ2eb
And I kept silent and kept observing
وفي كل لحظة مع العقارب
W fi koll la7ẓah ma3a el 3a2âreb
And every moment with the clock hands (Or does he mean "crabs", instead of clock hands?)
بيعدي من قدامي قارب
Bye3addy men 2oddâmy 2âreb
Passes by closely in front of me
ومخي بالافكار يحارب
W mokhkhy bi el afkâr y7âreb
And my brain fights with the thoughts
وقلبي للاحزان يوارب
W 2alby li el a7zân yewâreb
And my heart dupes the sadness
بنيت لنفسي حلم اعيشه
Beneet li nafsy 7elm a3eesho
I built myself a dream that I am living
في كل طوبة وكل قالب
Fi koll ṭoobah w koll 2âleb
In every brick and every form
وبفتكر وانا طفل راجع
W bafteker w ana ṭofl râge3
And I remember returning when I was a child
بشنطتي وجواها واجب
bi shanṭety w guwwaha wâgeb
With my bag, and in it necessities
اخدت عهد لمن ساعتها
Akhadt 3ahd li men sâ3etha
I took an oath from that time on
اعيش صريح وما اعيشش سالب
A3eesh ṣaree7 w ma a3eeshsh sâleb
That I am to live just and I shall not live ill
قالوا عليا ساعتها فاشل
2alou 3alayya sa3etha fâshel
They said about me (even) back then to fail
وصوتي عالي ومتكاسل
W ṣooty 3aly w motakâsel
And my voice was loud yet I was lazy (= meaning, he was cheeky)
واخدت كل كلمة عامل
W akhadt koll kelmah 3âmel
And I took every word and dealt with it
وفضلت احكي عالمشاكل
W fḍelt a7ky 3 el meshâkel
And kept narrating about the problems

Note, that:
Ḍ,ḍ denotes ض
Ṣ,ṣ denotes ص
Ṭ,ṭ denotes ط
Ẓ,ẓ denotes ظ

As I am guessing to have made a few mistakes, a revision and correction will be appreciated.
However, please enjoy my approach.

Just a few little things,actually you're doing great,you surprised me a little practise and I will be asking you to correct me

دي الكلمة أرض وانا المزارع
Di el kelmah arḍ w ana el mozâre3
the word is "soil" and I am the farmer


على فين يا دنيا المواجع؟
3ala fein ya donyet el mwâge3?
Where are the aches to, oh world!

ويسألوني يابني مالك
w yes2alôny yâbny mâlak
And they ask me: "Oh boy, what's wrong withh you?"


وايه اللي داير في خيالك؟
W eih elly dâyer fi khayâlak?
And what it is running in your imagination?

أرد اقول طب وأنت مالك
Arodd a2ool ṭabb w enta mâlak
I answer, I say:" It is none of your business"

شئ صعب يوم تبقى في مكاني
Shey ṣa3b yôm teb2a fi makâny
it is hard for you one day to be in my place/to step in my choose

من الصعب يوم ابقى في مكانك
Men el ṣa3b yôm ab2a fi makânek
it is hard for me to be in your place

وفي كل لحظة مع العقارب
W fi koll la7ẓah ma3a el 3a2âreb
And every moment with the clock hands

بشنطتي وجواها واجب
bi shanṭety w guwwaha wâgeb
With my bag, some exercices in it

اعيش صريح وما اعيشش سالب
A3eesh ṣaree7 w ma a3eeshsh sâleb
That I am to live just and I shall not live negative

قالوا عليا ساعتها فاشل
2alou 3alayya sa3etha fâshel
They said about me back then that i am a loser
