Hi. Good morning to all members!
I love this traditional song, recently recorded by Reem Kelani. Itīs a Palestinian lovely tune! But I am not able to transliterate it. Please, who can write that stunning lyrics in western letters? Thank u in advance!

آه يا ريم الغزلان
آه يا ريم الغزلان
يا اللي ع السفر نويت
يا اللي ع السفر عمد
صلوا على محمد
دمع من عيني هوّد
وأنا على الفرقة بكيت
وأنا على الفرقة لأبكي
بين الناس ما عدت أحكي
حرمت لعب الدبكة
صبغت ثيابي و حديت
صبغت ثيابي بني
على غزال راح اجفيل
انسج من الفرع الطويل
دورت مثلو ما لقيت
مثلو ما عدت الاقي
و لا بدنيا باقي
يوم كتبتلي وراقي
مع الطير وديه
مع الطير اوديله
خبرني شو جاريلو
من نبضي انا اشيلو
طيرو بالجنح علاا
راماني و عني اتخلى
هيي يا مدلل يا مليح
هيي يا مدلل يا خيا
نايم على الفراش سطيح
و انت عاليا ما شقيت
و انت عاليا ما تسال
انظرلحالي امنيح
هيي يا رب الاهاليل
انت الي بتحي و بتميت
انت الي بتحي المقشوع
قلبي على الفرقة مشلوح
آه يا ريم الغزلان
يا اللي ع السفر نويت
Oh, gazelle of all gazelles
Oh, gazelle of all gazelles
You, who plan to go away
As you set out on your journey,
Offer your praise to the Prophet.
My eyes flooded with tears,
I cried over our parting.
Crying over our parting,
I've taken a vow of silence,
I've forbidden myself to dance the dabke
I've dyed my clothes dark and gone into mourning.
.I've dyed my clothes indigo blue
Over the loss of the Sprinting Gazelle.
There is none as tall or slender I've looked everywhere,
and I haven't found its like.
There is nothing like it left in this world;
The day my fate was written,
I'd planned to send a bird with a message
Asking how my gazelle was faring.
If it were in trouble, I'd rescue it.
As I asked the bird to carry my message away,
The bird soared above me and then abandoned me.
Hey, my coquettish, beautiful one Hey,
my pampered mate I've lain ill in bed,
but you didn't visit me.
Never asked about me,
and look at the state of me now!
Oh, Lord of all mankind
You give life and take it away
You bring life to those who've been driven away
My heart has been torn apart because of our parting.
... Oh, gazelle of all gazelles
You, who plan to go away ...
