Salam!

Could someone help with the phonetic translation of these lyrics? Thanks a lot!

I love Fayrouz!!! I have listened with great fascination this Magnificent Singer...




راجعين يا هوى راجعين يا زهرة المساكين
راجعين يا هوى على دار الهوى على نار الهوى
راجعين
***
منودع زمان منروح لزمان
ينسانا على ارض النسيان
منقول رايحين منكون راجعين
على دار الحب ومش عارفين
راجعين يا هوى على دار الهوى على نار الهوى
راجعين
***
مغرور يا هوى يا هوى مغرور
يا حبيبي يا ورده على سور
نحنا العاشقين على طول عاشقين
وانتو بليا لينا عايشين
نحنا العاشقين عاشقين عاشقين
وانتو بليالينا عايشين
راجعين يا هوى على دار الهوى على نار الهوى
راجعين

When you mean "phonetic translation" do you mean the Arabic lyrics written in English font?

Here's the transliteration of the Arabic lyrcs into phonetic English:

Raj3een ya Hawa, Raj3een.
Ya zahrat al masakeen.
Raj3een ya hawa, 3ala dar al hawa,
3ala naar al hawa, raj3een.
***
Mino3ad zamaan, minrou7 lazamaan,
Yinsana 3ala ar9' al-nisiyaan.
Min2ool raayahin, minkoon raj3een,
3ala daar al hob, w mosh 3arfeen.
Raj3een ya hawa, 3ala dar al hawa,
3ala naar al hawa, raj3een.
***

Ma3'ror ya hawa, ya hawa ma3'ror
Ya 7abibi ya warda 3ala soor,
Na7na al-3ashi2een 3ala tool 3ashi2een
W into bilayaalinaa 3ashi2een.
Na7na al-3ashi2een, 3ashi2een, 3ashi2een
W into bilayaalinaa 3ashi2een.
Raj3een ya hawa, 3ala dar al hawa,
3ala naar al hawa, raj3een.

Oops!!!

Exactly! Arabic into Latin characters! Learning Arabic is so exciting! But I still need some help to understand...

Alas! I always mix up the words... Transliteration vs. transcription... Ouch!

Thank you deeply!

Your welcome!

So beautiful and soulful... When I first saw this video, I fell in love with her voice, especially for this song.
The lyrics, the catchy tune... I was so touched...
She sings about returning to the life one desires... to the truly home, love, country... to the life.

May it be like coming home after a long exile?

Oh, the singers and dancers are a perfect addition!

actually the song is part of the musical Lulu. She returns to her village after spending 15 years in prison. She was accused of killing a man but she was innocent. For More information about the musical check the link bellow :

I hope someone can help you. I spent a lot of time translating Fairouz songs but no one was interested in those translations so I've decided not to translate anymore.

Good luck

I´ve already seen Lulu! Clearly I understood close to nothing they were saying, ha ha ha... But, i really liked it.
It seem like she was on the top of her career in the 70's! This song has conquered my errant soul... Fayrouz's voice touched me in ways that I can't describe. She is retired now, doesn't she?

Thanks for sharing!

What a pity, gbasfora! I would love having the english lyrics too...
I presume you're a big fan and a great translator...

I've found unfaithful translations... I think there are some loss in translating, to recreate the original language richness at all... In arabic, angels language, it must be triply laborious! Allah Allah!
