Translation of the song يمي ما بعرف artist Fairuz

يمي ما بعرف كيف حاكاني

Oh mother, I don't know how he spoke to me

و كنت حد العين حيراني

When I was in a daze by the lake

تركتو بقصدي روح بدي روح

I left him- I intended to leave, I wanted to leave,

مدري شو حد العين خلاني

I don't know what made me stay near the lake..

يمي ما بعرف كيف ما بعرف كيف

Oh mother, I don't know how, I don't know how.

يحكي و يحكي و صرت إسمعلو

He spoke and spoke and I listened to him,

و الحكي كيف كان طايعلو

And oh, how much talking suit him!

صاروا الزنابق حدنا يعلوا

Lilies spread all around us,

لو ضل كان الورد خباني

And if he had stayed near, I would have drowned in them..

يمي ما بعرف كيف ما بعرف كيف

Oh mother, I don't know how.

و غابت الشمس و خفت و إحتديت

The sun set, and I got scared and panicked,

و ما عدت عادرب لنا إستهديت

I forgot what path I was on,

ما وعيت كيف ركضت صوب البيت

And I forgot how I even ran home,

قلبي يدق و كنت فزعاني

My heart beating, and I was frightened,

يمي ما بعرف كيف ما بعرف كيف

Oh mother, I don't know how, I don't know how.

مبارح بعتلي محرمي هديي

Yesterday he sent me a handerchief as a gift,

سر و عطر أبيض و غنيي

A secret, perfume, and a song,

و متل اللي زاغوا هيك عينيي

And my vision got blurry,

و حسيت شي بالبال بكاني

And I had a feeling that brought me to tears

يمي ما بعرف كيف ما بعرف كيف

Oh mother, I don't know how, I don't know how.
