Translation of the song lyrics Ya Rayeh - Nawal El Zoghbi

Ya Rayeh (original)

يارايح روح قباله سلم على اللى بيحبونا
طمنا كيف احواله بعدن قلبن حكونا
يارايح روح قباله سلم على اللى بيحبونا
طمنا كيف احواله بعدن قلبن حكونا
يارايح خيط بشاله اغلى من كل الكون
يارايح خيط بشاله اغلى من كل الكون
غدر الزمان فينا وينك يا ماضى شو الى غير الاحوال
كونا حبايب واعز الحبايب خيم زعلنا وطال
غدر الزمان فينا وينك يا ماضى شو غير الاحوال
كونا حبايب واعز الحبايب خيم زعلنا وطال
يارايح ما نسيناهم قولهم لا ما ينسونا
من ريحة ثيابه بعثت على ترابه جبلى معاك تذكار
عندن الى صورة بالبال محفورة شوفلى عليها غبار
من ريحة ثيابه بعثت على ترابه جبلى معاك تذكار
عندن الى صورة بالبال محفورة شوفلى عليها غبار
يارايح حيناله قوله لا يلمونا
يارايح حيناله قوله لا يلمونا
يارايح روح قباله سلم على اللى بيحبونا
طمنا كيف احواله بعدن قلبن حكونا

Please, go ahead, say hello to those who love us
Reassure us, how is he doing in Aden?
Please, go ahead, say hello to those who love us
Reassure us, how is he doing in Aden?
Ya Rayeh, a thread with a scarf is more precious than all the universe
Ya Rayeh, a thread with a scarf is more precious than all the universe
The treachery of time in us, where are you, my past, what else?
We became lovers and dear ones, we were upset and long
The treachery of time in us, where are you, my past, what else is the situation?
We became lovers and dear ones, we were upset and long
Oh, we didn't forget them. They said, they don't forget us
From the smell of his clothes, I was sent to his mountain soil with you as a souvenir
We have a picture of the mind engraved with dust on it
From the smell of his clothes, I was sent to his mountain soil with you as a souvenir
We have a picture of the mind engraved with dust on it
It's okay to say they don't blame us
It's okay to say they don't blame us
Please, go ahead, say hello to those who love us
Reassure us, how is he doing in Aden?
