Translation of the song يا رب ارحمهم | Ya Rabb Erhamhom [God, Help The Outcast] artist The Hunchback of Notre Dame (OST)
يا رب ارحمهم | Ya Rabb Erhamhom [God, Help The Outcast]
God, Be Merciful Upon Them
قلبي دقاته تناديلك
The beats of my heart call upon you
يللي رزقت الطير
You who have bestowed his blessings upon the birds
قلبي ده عارف سبيلك
My heart knows your way
قلبي كله خير
My heart is full of kindness
ايوى عارفة اني وحدة من الفقرا الغلبانين
Yes, I know that I am one of the poor1 impoverished ones
بس أنا عشمانة النهارده يرتاح كل المظلومين
But I am hopeful today that all the oppressed will be set at ease
يا رب ارحمهم هم أهلي
God, be merciful upon them.. [as] they are my people
خلي طريقهم كله مليان خير
let their path be filled with goodness2
يا رب ساعدهم دول ناس مساكين
God, help them; [as] they are poor people
انت ناصرهم ليهم غيرك مين
You are their savior, whom else do they have but you?
اديني مال
Give me money
اديني غاه
Give me power3
اديني قوى عشان اعيش مرتاح
Give me strength to live at ease
اعيش حياة من غير عذاب
To live a life without suffering
طالبين رضاك وكمان عطفك نحتاج ليه
We ask for your clemency4 and we need your kindness too
يا رب مش طالبة غير اني اعيش
God, I don't ask for anything but to [be able to] live
في غيري كثير في الحظ منا فيش
There many people other than me who have no luck
يا رب ساعدهم رافعين اديهم
God help them; they are raising their hands5
مدلهم ايدك دول ناس مساكين
Stretch your hand out to them; they are poor people
انت ناصرهم مين غيرك مين ؟
You are their savior, whom else do they have but you?
