Nawal al-Zoghbi - They've Always Said Itنوال الزغبي - ياما قالواYama Alou

Updated media and translation



Nawal al-Zoghbi - They've Always Said It

They've always said it
Go ahead let em say it
That our love is like this and our love is like that
And we've spread our passion everywhere
Let em repeat it
More and more
This is this is what I feel and what I'm going through
My love, you guys, is better than a dream

Get close to my heart that's always sang for you
That dreams of being with you
And keeps on hoping

My soul my life
I'm melting in your love
You and me are one
I'm part of you
And my love is yours

It's hell for me to wait like this, my darling, when I have this in my heart
My feelings could fill this entire world
Come see me
Missing you has melted me and tortured me
And I'm still just as confused

نوال الزغبي - ياما قالوا

ياما قالوا
ما يقولوا
حبينا كده وهوينا كده
و ملينا الدنيا غرام في غرام
ما يعيدوا
و يزيدوا
ده اللي انا حاساه و اللي انا عيشاه
في الحب يا ناس ولافي الاحلام

قرب من قلبي اللي عشانك
ياما غنى و غنى
و بيحلم بلقاك يا حبيبي
و لسه بيتمنى

روحي انا عمري انا
انا دايبة في حبك و هواك
ده انت انا اه يا انا
انا منك وهوايا هواك

على ناري يا حبيبي
بستنى كده و في قلبي كده
أشواق تملى الدنيا بحالها
ح تجيني
تلاقيني
الشوق دوب فيا و عذب
و الحيرة بتفظل على حالها

Nawal al-Zoghbi - O Jerusalemنوال الزغبي - يا قدسYa Quds

Updated media and translation

Maybe a bit more nationalistic and political than we are used to from Nawal.



Nawal al-Zoghbi - O Jerusalem

O Jerusalem, how I long to pray
Where hope is in your beloved soil
Won't you rise and smash the reigns of tyranny
And return to its people the plundered nation

You're ours, you're ours at dusk and in the morning
You're ours, how do we end the bleeding of the wounds?
You're ours, you're ours O Jerusalem land of generosity

My hand take my hand
Let us write devotion for Jerusalem
Tomorrow there is an appointment for the blood of the martyrs
Our hope remains for us
Or may the heavens hear our sound

نوال الزغبي - يا قدس

يا قدس كم أتوق إلى الصلاة
حيث الرجاء في ترابك الحبيب
ألا أنهضي و حطّمي قيد الطغاة
و أرجعي لأهله الوطن السليب

أنت لنا أنت لنا في الغروب و الصباح
أنت لنا كيف لنا أن نسكت نزف الجراح
أنت لنا أنت لنا يا قدس يا أرض السماح

هذي يدي خذ بيدي
نكتب للقدس الوفاء
يوم غد في الموعد
لها دماء الشهداء
يبقى لنا إيمانن
ا و لتسمع الصوت السماء

Nawal al-Zoghbi - Strange Way of Thinkingنوال الزغبي - غريب الراي

Updated media and translation

I apologize for the video, you'll have to skip through the interview at the beginning to get to the song. It's the writer of the song, and he's talking about how Nawal wanted to make a song in the Gulf dialect and he wrote it etc.



Nawal al-Zoghbi - Strange Way of Thinking

You are the cause of my misfortunes,
my confusion and my misery
Love is for you alone
And you have a strange way of thinking

You made me live in confusion
And with worry and jelousy
You hurt my feelings, try being faithful with me

You lighted a fire in me
And you never cared
Have mercy if for once
And win, my darling, my satisfaction

Where has loyalty gone?
Its address is lost
Your injustice to me was enough to mess up my world

Oh the confusion of my eyes
The color of sadness is my color
My wounds are from you
My estrangement and my misfortune

My love, help me
Make a pact with me to love
Who do I complain to besides you?
You're my only wish and desire

نوال الزغبي - غريب الراي

إنت سبب بلواي يا حيرتي وشكواي
الحب ليك وحدك
وانت غريب الراي

عيشتني بحيرة
وبهم وبغيرة
يا جارح احساسي
عيش الوفا وياي

أشعلت بي ناري
وانت ولا داري
ارحم ولو مرة
واكسب حبيبي رضاي

وين الوفا وينه
ضاعت عناوينه
يكفيني من ظلمك
ضاقت علي دنياي

يا حيرة عيوني
لون الحزن لوني
جرحي أنا منك
يا غربتي وبلواي

يا خلي ساعدني
بالحب عاهدني
مين غيرك اشكي له
يا غايتي ومناي
