Aidha El Menhali - Ahemmah

عيضة المنهالي - أهمّه, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1iBsLa5P1uo and here is my attempt:

أهمّه لو كذب اللي ما اهمّه... غلاي يجول في قلبه ودمّه
Ahemmah lo kedheb elly ma hemmah - Ghalây yedjoul fi galbah w dammah
I am important to him, (even) if he lies, I am the one of import to him - My love (= his love for me) wanders in his heart and his blood
يبان الحب في نظرة عيونه... يقول الصدق ولا ولد عمّه
Yebân el 7ebb fi naẓret 3eyounah - Yegoul el ṣedg wala weld 3ammah
He shows the love in his glance - He says the truth (something )

يغار وغيرته تفضح غرامه... وتكشف غيرته حتّى كلامه
Yeghâr w gheirtah tefḍe7 gharâmah - W tekshef gheirtah 7atta kalâmah
He gets jealous and his jealousy wastes his love - And even his words experience his jealousy
يغار ويقلب الدنيا عليّه... يبيني دوم في قربه ويمّه
Yeghâr w yegleb el denya 3aleyyah - Yabeiny dôm fi gorbah w yammah
He gets jealous and turns the world upside down - He wants me forever near and next to him

يبيني دايم بجنبه يبيني... ولو انه تظاهر ما يبيني
Yabeiny dâyem bi djanbah yabeiny - W law ennah teẓâher ma yabeiny
He wants me to be forever on his side, he wants me - And even if his demonstration is that he doesn't want me
انا ادري فيه وادري عن طباعه... يخفي الشوق في قلبه ويضمه
Anâ adry feih w adry 3an ṭebâ3ah - Yakhaffy el shoug fi galbah w yeḍammah
I know him and about his nature - He hides the love in his heart and collects/gathers it

يكابر وادري انهو يكابر... وانا ادري بس لكن دوم صابر
Yekâber w adry annho yekâber - W ana adry bass lâken dôm ṣaber
He resists and I know that he (?) resists - And I realise, but I just keep being patient
ابيه يبوح عن حبه وشوقه... وانا اللي بين خلق الله اهمّه
Abeih yebou7 3an 7ebbah w shougah - W ana elly bein kholg Allâh ahemmah
I want him to reveal about his love and desire - And I am the one between ... what?! No idea, what I should do about it.

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

Anyway, like always I am kindly asking for a correction and revision here. Thanks.

Did, by the way, anyone notice, that he pronounces an initial "gh" غ (> gheirah) as something in between a raised [ɣ] and a [ʝ]?

Khaliji singers always fo that

أهمّه لو كذب اللي ما اهمّه
I matter to him,even if he said otherwise

يقول الصدق ولا ولد عمّه
weither he says the truth or it's cousin* (free translation)
he wanted to say even if he doesn't say the truth,even if he is lying,saying something different


ولو انه تظاهر ما يبيني
even if he acts like he doesn't want me

وتكشف غيرته حتّى كلامه
and his jalousy exposes even his words

يخفي الشوق في قلبه ويضمه
he hides the longing in h is heart and embraces it


ابيه يبوح عن حبه وشوقه... وانا اللي بين خلق الله اهمّه
I want him to declare/reveal his love and longing... and (to declare) that i matter to him among all people

again nice work

Thank you!

Could you also check the "Mashael songs"-thread? I have tried to translate 2 of the songs but it proved to be quite hard.

you're welcome sweety,look I can't promise cause they seem like a challenge for me too (I mean khaliji songs) but i'll take a look and see what I can do
