Translation of the song لا تعتب علي artist Fairuz

لا تعتب عليّي أخّرني القمر

Don't blame me, the moon made me late,

ضيعتنا هنيّة وطالعلا السهر

Our town is joyful, and its people often stay up late.

يا خجلة عينيّي لو يعرفوا فيّي

But oh, my shame, if they know about me-

لومك مش عليّي لومك عالقمر

It's not me who is to blame, it is the moon.

قلتلّك يا جاري احميني من الهوى

I told you, oh neighbour, protect me from love,

نحنا بالبراري تربّينا سوى

You and I, in the prairies, we grew up together,

ما تاري سوى إنت وهالهوى

It appears now that you and love,

اتّفقتوا عليّي وما عندي خبر

Conspired against me, without me knowing.

حلّفتني إمّي ما حاكي حدا

My mother made me swear not to speak to anyone,

قالتلي يا إمّي إيّاك العِدا

She also warned me against bitterness,

إنت مش حدا ولا أنت العدا

But you are not anyone,

إنت الـ بعينيّي رابي من الزهر

Nor are you bitterness.
