Can anyone give me the lyrics to Dayret El Rehla? A transliterated Arabic and/or English translation would be good. I've been dancing to it for a while but I'd really like to know what the song is about. I thought I heard something like 'habib omri' in there which I think means 'love of my life' but that's as far as I got!

Could you please post a link to the requested song... I couldn't find any thing under the title you wrote. May ba I'm miss-reading

This link takes you to a live performance of the song, I think it is also on the album Ana Alby Masaken from around 2001.

It's a link 4 the song

it's kinda a slow song and i've wondered how did you dance to it !!

anyway I've written it in Arabic and in transliterated Arabic
Also I've translated it I hope u will like the translation

There is something about most of Mounir songs as they have a kind of philosophy so the translation my not be clear enough for you
so, I'll give you a hint about the idea of the song
It's about someone who's talking to his lover about the journey of life as some days it's nice and some other days they may become apart or face some obstacles, but all days they depend on god

فى دايرة الرحلة
fe dayret elre7la

فى دايرة الرحلة .... طرق بنا تخلى
fe dayret elre7la..... 6oro2 bena te5la
in the circle of the journey ..... ways become empty
آه يا حبيب عمرى .... وصحبتى وقمرى
Ah ya 7abib 3omri*.... wso7bti w gamari
ah love of my life ...... my friend and my moon
عيون مرة تباعد .... خطاوى مرة تعاند
3oyon marra teba3ed.... 5a6awy marra t3aned
eyes sometimes set us apart ..... steps sometimes become resistant/hard
حنين جوانا يحكى .... وشوق جوانا يبكى
7aneen gowana ye7ki ...... wsho2 gowana yebki
the yearning in us talk ...... the desire in us cry
والدمع ساقية كبت
weldam3 sa2yet kabt
and the tears are a wheel of frustration
فى دايرة الرحلة
fe dayret elre7la
in the circle of the journey
طرق بنا تخلى
6oro2 bena te5la
Ways become empty
طرق بنا تخلى
6oro2 bena te5la
Ways become empty

ليه يا سنين العمر ..... ترضى لنا بالمر
leh ya sneen el3omr .... terdy lena belmor
why are you "years of the life" satisfied by the bitterness to us
ده لولا فينا صبر ..... لهان علينا العمر
da lolla bena sabr .... lahan 3alena el3omr
unless we have some patience …. We won't appreciate our life
فى دايرة الرحلة .... أيامنا ع المولى
fe dayret elre7la ayamna 3almawlla
in the circle of the journey … Our days in god's will
ليلنا ياليلنا مرة هاتحلالن
lellna ya lellna mara hate7lallna
our night our night once you are nice to us
تميل على ميلنا فى دايرة الرحلة
temeel 3ala melna fe dayret elre7la
you will be like us in the circle of the journey

رحله يارحلة ...... ياصعبة ياسهلة
re7la ya re7la .... ya sa3ba ya sahla
journey oh journey ...... may be hard may be easy
رحالة خطوتنا ..... فى دايرة الرحلة
ra7ala 5a6wetna .... fe dayret elre7la
our step is traveler ..... in the circle of the journey
عيون مرة تباعد ..... خطاوى مرة تعاند
3oyon marra teba3ed.... 5a6awy marra t3aned
eyes sometimes get us apart ...... steps sometimes become hard
حنين جوانا يحكى ..... وشوق جوانا يبكى
7aneen gowana ye7ki ...... wsho2 gowana yebki
the yearning in us talk ..... and the desire in us cry
والدمع ساقية كبت
weldam3 sa2yet kabt
and the tears are a wheel of frustration
فى دايرة الرحلة
fe dayret elre7la
in the circle of the journey
طرق بنا تخلى
6oro2 bena te5la
ways become empty
طرق بنا تخلى
6oro2 bena te5la
ways become empty
