أنتِ ملاك

أنتِ ملاك
Inti malak
You are an angel
------------------------------------------
القلب يمي لك مشى
el galb Ya Umi lek misha
Oh mother, the heart has walked towards you
بالعطف والطيب انتشى
bil 3a6f wil 6eeb intesha
with compassion and kindness it as filled
في حضنها عمري نشى
fi 7a’6naha 3uri nesha
I grew within her embrace
ومن حبها قلبي يميل
o min 7ubha galbi yimeel
and from the amount of her love, my heart is leaning

امي حياتي وجنتي
Umi 7ayati o Janiti
My mother is my life and my heaven
انتي عيوني وبسمتي
inti 3youni o basmiti
you are my eyes and my smile
حبك شعاع بمهجتي
7ubik shu3a3 eb muhjiti
your love is like a ray of light within my soul
والشعر من حبك يسيل
wilshi3r min 7ubik yiseel
and poetry flows from your love

القلب سعده من رضاك
el galb sa3dah min r’6ak
the hearts happiness comes from your satisfaction/content
والكون عطره من شذاك
wil kown 3e6rah min shathak
and the perfume of the universe comes from your scent
كلي على بعضي فداك
kili 3ala ba3’6i fedak
the whole of me is a sacrifice to you
ان غبت سموني القتيل
in ‘3ibti samoni elgteel
if you are absent they will call me a victim (meaning I will die)

يانبض قلبي والوجود
ya nab’6 galbi wil wujood
oh you who is the beat of my heart and all of existence
ياروح عمري يالودود
ya rou7 3umri yal wadood
oh you who is my life’s soul, you who is warm-hearted
ياأغلى من كل الحشود
ya a’3la min kil el7shood
oh you who is more precious than all the crowds
المدح في حقك قليل
elmad7 fi 7agik 8aleel
appraisal is very little when it comes to you (meaning, praising you is not enough)

امي.. كلي فدى
umi.. kili feda
mother.. I am a sacrifice for you
امي.. انت ملاك..
umi.. inti malak
mother. You are an angel
امي.. امي..
umi.. umi
mother.. oh mother..

يادمع أحرقت العيون
ya dam3 a7ragt el3yon
oh tears, you have burnt the eyes
امي عليه ماتهون
Umi 3alaya matihoon
my mother is not something I would easily give up
لاكن إذا حل المنون
lakin itha 7al elmanon
but when the time comes..
مايوقف
