If anyone can help me to translate the following lyrics, I will be appreciated it. Thank you.

Title - Salama Ya Salama

Fi ed-donia el kebira
We beladha el ketira
Laffeit laffeit laffeit
Wi lamma nadani hobbi el awalani
Sibt kollo we geit we geit
We fi hodno itramait
We ghaneit

Salma ya salama
Rohna we Geina bel-salama
Salma ya salama
Rohna we geina bel-salama

Lessa el-hob safi
We lessa el-guaw dafi
We lessa fih amar
We ba'd el-maghareb
Netlamleim fi areb
We yetoul es-sahar es-sahar
We es-samar wel ghona koleina

Salma ya salama
Rohna we geina bel-salama
Salma ya salama
Rohna we geina bel-salama

Fih shagara goua
Guineina 'aliha 'alama
Ana yamma kont bafakkar fiha
We basaal yama
Ya tara mawgouda
We albi mahfour fiha
Aiwa mawgouda
We albi mahfour fiha

Salma ya salama
Rohna we geina bel-salama
Salma ya salama
Rohna we geina bel-salama

~Musique~

Fi ed-donia el kebira

Hey Jamila i bet u r as Jamila as ur name


Salama Ya Salama

Fi ed-donia el kebira
in the big world

We beladha el ketira
and the many countries

Laffeit laffeit laffeit
i traveled , traveled

Wi lamma nadani hobbi el awalani
and when my first love called me

Sibt kollo we geit we geit
i left everything and came

We fi hodno itramait
and i throw myself in his lap

We ghaneit
and sang

Salma ya salama
safety , safety

Rohna we Geina bel-salama
we went and got back safety
"safety here like the safety we mean by saying farewell! "
hope u get it

Salma ya salama
safety , safety

Rohna we Geina bel-salama
we went and got back safety

Lessa el-hob safi
love still pure

We lessa el-guaw dafi
and the environment -between us- still warm

We lessa fih amar
and moon still here

We ba'd el-maghareb
and after the evening

Netlamleim fi areb
we came close to each others

We yetoul es-sahar es-sahar
and we keep awake, awake

We es-samar wel ghona koleina
and we sang all together

Salma ya salama
safety , safety

Rohna we Geina bel-salama
we went and got back safety

Salma ya salama
safety , safety

Rohna we Geina bel-salama
we went and got back safety

Fih shagara goua
there's something inside

Guineina 'aliha 'alama
it is in us, and there is a mark on it

Ana yamma kont bafakkar fiha
i've always thought of it

We basaal yama
and i pray alot

Ya tara mawgouda
i wonder, is it there!

We albi mahfour fiha
and my heart is engraved on it

Aiwa mawgouda
yes, it is there!

We albi mahfour fiha
and my heart is engraved on it

Salma ya salama
safety , safety

Rohna we Geina bel-salama
we went and got back safety

Salma ya salama
safety , safety

Rohna we Geina bel-salama
we went and got back safety

My Attempt :

Salama Ya Salama
سلمى يا سلامة

Fi ed-donia el kebira
في الدنيا الكبيرة
in the big world

We beladha el ketira
و بلادها الكثيرة
and the many countries

Laffeit laffeit laffeit
لفّيت لفّيت لفّيت
i traveled , traveled

Wi lamma nadani hobbi el awalani
و لما نداني حب الاولاني
and when my first love called me

Sibt kollo we geit we geit
سيبت كله و جئت و جئت
i left everything and came

We fi hodno itramait
و في حضنه تراميت
and i throw myself in his lap

We ghaneit
و غنيت
and sang

Salma ya salama
سلمى يا سلامة
safety , safety

Rohna we Geina bel-salama
we went and got back safety
رحنا و جئنا بالسلامة


1- Isn't Salma a woman's name ? So is it possible to translate the verse above like : gee Salma ! We went and returned in safety !


Lessa el-hob safi
ليسى الحب الصفي
love still pure

We lessa el-guaw dafi
و ليسى الجوا الدفي
and the environment -between us- still warm

We lessa fih amar
و ليسى فيه قمر
and moon still here

We ba'd el-maghareb
و بعد المغرب
and after the evening

Netlamleim fi areb
نتلملم في قرب
we came close to each others

We yetoul es-sahar es-sahar
و يطول السهر السهر
and we keep awake, awake

We es-samar wel ghona koleina
والسمر و الغنا كل لنا
and we sang all together

Fih shagara goua
في شجرة جُوّا
there's something inside
جنينة عليها علامة
Guineina 'aliha 'alama
it is in us, and there is a mark on it

2- I guess shagara means tree and Guineina means garden so I don't understand the translation of the last two verses above. I need some help here.

Ana yamma kont bafakkar fiha
انا يا ما كنت بافاكر فيها
i've always thought of it

We basaal yama
و باسأل ياما
and i pray alot

3 - Basaal = I pray ? I guess it means I ask. Isn't it ?

Ya tara mawgouda
يا ترى موجودة
i wonder, is it there!

We albi mahfour fiha
و قلبي محفوظ فيها
and my heart is engraved on it

Aiwa mawgouda
ايوا موجودة
yes, it is there!

We albi mahfour fiha
و قلبي محفوظ فيها
and my heart is engraved on it

4 - I guess she says ma7fouz instead of ma7four. Could you check it ?

Thanks in advance

Hi Gbasfora
1- yes Salma سلمىis a woman's name but I think Salma ya salama is an expressionسالمة يا سلامة
Rohna we Geina bel-salama= we went and got back safety= We went and returned in safety
I did not understand your point ?

2- here is this part :
Fih shagara goua
في شجرة جُوّا
جنينة عليها علامة
Guineina 'aliha 'alama
There is a marked tree inside a garden

Ana yamma kont bafakkar fiha
انا يا ما كنت بافاكر فيها

We basaal yama
و باسأل ياما
I think about it alot & wonder

4- I checked it , She is saying (Ma7fooz) not (Ma7foor) , I think she ment her heart is kept there not only drawn .

Any way , Dalida is hard to be understood
Hope this was helpfull

Alf shoukran ya Raisa.
I still have a question about the song's name. If the name is سالمة يا سلامة so the pronunciation should be saalyma ya salaama and not salma ya salaama ?

I did no mistakes writing the arabic lyrics ?! Unbelievable !!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=azyIOqB1bfQ

Unbelievable ! the original version for Sayeed Darwesh although the lyrics have been changed.

I know about about Sayeed Darwesh's , It is the first time I notice that they had the same title , but It is ok , because as I talled you , Salma Ya Salama is an Egyptian Expression
You wrot it right (Salma Ya salama) , here is a viedo for her with the title in Arabic:

Salma Ya Salama was created by Sayed Darwish at the beginning of the twenty century, the song simply talks about Egyptians suffering outside their homeland, the homesickness, they are satisfied with the life, if they are poor or rich doesn't matter, and how brilliant they are in war and peace.

Part of the lyrics are based on an Egyptian folk song about a man wandering in the desert between the dunes, the whole time seeing a mirage of a paradise-like garden.

Salma Ya Salama was later most famously covered by Dalida where the song gained massive chart success resulting in the song being sung in four languages: Arabic, Italian, French, and German. It also has been performed by other artists, such as Alabina, Chantal Chamandy, Jean Michel Jarre and Ziynet Sali.

Hi,
Thanks to you and everyone for the lyrics in Ar and Eng. I'm a teacher and am using the song with my Arabic students so it's really useful.

I think in this verse, they are huddling up in a boat rather than getting close
و بعد المغارب
نتلملم في قارب
و يطول السهر السهر
والسمر و غنا كل لنا

gbasfora - you said
" I still have a question about the song's name. If the name is سالمة يا سلامة so the pronunciation should be saalyma ya salaama and not salma ya salaama ? "

I'm not a native speaker of Arabic & I also find this difficult to make sense of in Egyptian. But from what my teachers have told me in the past, and this (http://www.101languages.net/arabic/sounds.html), I think it is because of how Egyptian pronunciation is different to standard Arabic, especially in the stress. Egyptian stress doesn't fall on the first syllable of a 3 syllable word, instead it falls on the middle syllable or the first long syllable is shortened. جامعة jaami'a (university) is pronounced jam'a and خامسة the fifth is pronounced khamsa rather than khaamisa. Hope that makes sense!
