Translated Lyrics
لو فينا نرجع
If only we could go back
Law fina nirja’
لو فينا نحضن ماضينا
If only we could embrace our past
Law fina nuHden maDheena
طفل زغيَّر عايش فينا
A little child still lives within us
Tifl zaGhayyar ‘ayesh fina
راكض ورا سرب عْصافير
Running behind a flock of birds
Rakid wara sirb ‘asafeer
مْفكّر حالو بدّو يطير
Thinking that he wants to fly
Mofakker halo baddo yetir
اه لو فينا
Oh, if only we could
Ah law fina
كبرنا يا إمّي وهمنا كبر
We grew up, oh my mother, and our worries grew too
Kibrna ya emmi w hamna kibr
وضحكات الحلوة اتكسّروا
And the sweet smiles shattered
W daHkat il helwa itkasaru
ع عتاب الزّغر
On the reproach of the little one
3a 3itab il zoghar
صاروا ضحكات مْزبّطين
They became smiles, carefully arranged
Saru daHkat mzabbitin
وع قد الحرف مْقيّسين
And as if the letters were precisely aligned
W 3ad il harf muqayyaseen
وكل ما العيون بكّاها حنين
And every time the eyes wept, it was pure longing
W kull ma il 3uyun bakkaaha haneen
ترجع ببالا للزّغر
It returns in memory to the little one
Tirja3 bibala il zoghar
وتركض ورا سرب عْصافير
And runs after a flock of birds
W rakid wara sirb ‘asafeer
وطفل زغيّر بدو يطير
And a little child wants to fly
W tifl zaGhayyar baddo yetir
اه لو فينا
Oh, if only we could
Ah law fina
مّعَمشق عحيطان القلب غيمة
The adorned walls of the heart form a cloud
M3amashaq 3aHeytan il qalb gheema
يشتّي مطرها صورة صباح الخير
Its rain yearns for the image of “good morning”
Yishti matarha soorat sabaH il kheir
وإيدين إمي تمد الخبز عالصاج
And my mother’s hands lay out bread on the griddle
W eidein emmi timidd il khobz 3al saaj
ونيران صاج يْدفّي شتي الغيمة
And the griddle’s fire warms the winter of the cloud
W niran saaj yedaffi shti il gheema
ولون البيادر ع طريق الدير
And the hue of the barns along the monastery road
W lawn il bayader 3al tareeq il deir
ويلفحلي وجّي نسمة ورا نسمة
And a gentle breeze follows, one after another
W yilfaHli wajje nesma wara nesma
تْمطّر عيوني .. تْكرّ الصّور وتصير
It rains on my eyes… the images replay and transform
Tmattar 3yooni .. tikarr il suwar w tesir
تبكي فرح.. تضحك حِزن
Joy cries, sorrow laughs
Tabki farah.. tidHaak 7uzn
كل ما مرق نسمة
Every time a breeze passed by
Kul ma maraq nesma
وترجع ببالا للزّغر
And it returns in memory to the little one
W tirja3 bibala il zoghar
وتركض ورا سرب عْصافير
And runs after a flock of birds
W rakid wara sirb ‘asafeer
وطفل زغيّر بدّو يطييير
And a little child wants to fly
W tifl zaGhayyar baddo yetiyir
اه لو فينا
Oh, if only we could
Ah law fina
