Translation of the song الناي artist Oum

Arabic

الناي

English translation

The Flute

سمعت الناي عن قصبتو يحكي فراقو

I've heard the flute talking of its separation from its cane

مقطوع من ساقو يشكي حال العشاق

having its leg cut, crying out the lovers' struggle

نادى القلوب اللي مشركاها الاشواق

he called out for the hearts that are torn apart from yearning,

اللي تذوب في نار الهوى وتحرق

melting into the fire of desire and burning.

الناي عن قصبتو يحكي فراقو

The flute, talking of being parted from its cane..

كل من حي بعيد عن صاحبه

every soul that is estranged from its partner

يحلم بالحين فين هو يرجع ليه

is dreaming of the time it goes back to them

صوت الناي ما هو ريح بل هو نار

the sound of flute ain't air but a fire,

ويموت الحي اللي لا لهيب له

and dies the one who has no flames

نار الحب في جوف قصبنا

the fire of love is in the depth of our cane,

واسرار الحب خمور شربنا

and the secrets of love are wine we've drunk

نار الحب في جوف قصبنا

the fire of love is in the bottom of our cane,

واسرار الحب امور جربنا

and the secrets of love are matters we have been through

سري، عن نواحي ما هو بعيد

my secret ain't far away from here,

ولا وذن سمعاتو

no ear has heard of it

ولاشافتو شي عين..

and no eyes have witnessed it.
