كلمات أغاني عبد الحليم حافظ (العندليب الاسمر)
المسيح
ياكلمتي لفي ولفي الدنيا طولها وعرضها
Ya kilmiti, lifi wa lifi al donia tolha wa aardaha.
Oh, my words... travel around the world from top to bottom.
وفتحي عيون البشر للي حصل علي ارضها
Wa fatahi aioon el bashar, lilli hassal ala ardaha.
And open the eyes of its people to what happened on its land.
علي ارضها طبع المسيح قدمه
Alla ardaha, taba al Massih qadamo...
On its land, Christ imprinted his footsteps.
علي ارضها نزف المسيح ألمه
Alla ardaha, nazaf el Massih alamo.
On its land, Jesus felt his pain.
في القدس في طريق الآلام ..وفي الخليل رنت تراتيل الكنايس
Fil Qods, wa fi el tariq el alam... wa fil Khalil, ranit tarateel el kanais.
In Jerusalem, in the trail of pain and in Hebron, the church bells rang.
في الخلا صبح الوجود انجيل
Fi al khala, sabah el wigood ingeel.
From the wilderness, the gospel emerged.
Part 2
تفضل تضيع فيك الحقوق لامتي ياطريق الآلام
Tifdaal tidee feek el hiqooq le emta, ya tariq el alam?
How long will justice be lost within you, oh trail of pain?
وينطفي النور في الضمير وتنطفي نجوم السلام
Wi yentifi al nor fil dameer wi tintifi nigoom el salam.
And how long will the lights of conscience and the stars of peace be extinguished?
ولامتي فيك يمشي جريح ..ولامتي فيك يفضل يصيح
Wel imta feek yimshi gareeh, wel imta feek yifdal yiseeh....
And how long will men walk through you, wounded? And how long will will they remain screaming?
مسيح ورا مسيح ورا مسيح علي أرضها
Massih! Wara, Massih, wara, Massih... ala ardaha!
While Christ follows... Christ follows them on its land!
Part 3
تاج الشوك فوق جبينه وفوق كتفه الصليب
Tag el shok foq gibeeno wi foq kitfo el salib.
The crown of thorns pierced his brow and the cross, he carried on his shoulders.
دلوقت ياقدس ابنك زي المسيح غريب غريب
Dilwaqti, ya Qods, ibnik zay el Massih, gharib... gharib.
Right now, oh Jerusalem, your son is like Christ, a stranger... a stranger (In his own land).
تاج الشوك فوق جبينه وفوق كتفه الصليب
Tag el shok foq gibeeno wa foq kitfo el salib.
The crown of thorns pierced his brow and the cross he carried on his shoulders.
خانوه... خانوه نفس اليهود
Khanoo! Khanoo nafs el Yahood!
They betrayed him! These same Jews betrayed him!
ابنك ياقدس زي المسيح لازم يعود ..علي أرضها
Ibnik, ya Qods, zay el Massih lazim ya ood! Alla ardaha...
Your son, oh Jerusalem, just like Christ, must prevail! On its land
