Amr Diab; “Living With You” Posted by Fisal on Aug 20, 2015 in Arabic Language, Culture, Pronunciation, Vocabulary
Ahlan, Arabic fans! Today I am presenting a beautiful song by Amr Diab عــَـــمــْـــرو دِيــَـــاب . The song is entitled “Living With You عــايــش مــعــاك“. In the song, Amr shows how much he is in love and how much he is happy living with his beloved. It is customary in the Arab culture to address the beloved woman in the second person masculine, that is why amr is saying “Ma’ak” (= with you) as masculine and not “Ma’aki” (= with you) as feminine. The lyric was written by Tamer Hussien. It was composed by Amr Tantawy and musically arranged by Osama El-Hindy. It was produced in 2012. The song is about 04:13 minutes long and is in the Egyptian dialect like all of Amr Diab’s songs. It has very beautiful rhyming and is built of easy repeated words and lines. Amr’s music style is a distinguished mixture of the eastern and western music. I did the English translation for the song and I hope you will love it.

Living With You عــايــش مــعــاك /A’yish Ma’ak/
يــا ريـت تــفــضــل لآخــر الــعــمــر مــعــايــا
I pray that you stay to the end of life with me
حــبــيــبــى ، أنــا مــش هــأدارى عــلــيــك أنــا مــن كــل قــلــبــى عــشــقــت
Baby, I am not gonna hide it; I am in love with all my heart
بــقــيــت دلــوقــتــى أمــلــى و كــل مــنــايــا
Now, you are my hope and all what I aspire for
يــطــول الــعــمــر بــيــّــا و بــيــك ، نــعــيــش مــع بــعــض أطــول وقــت
You and I live together the longest life
كــان فــيــنــك مــن زمــان
Where were you long ago!
عــمــلــت فــى قــلــبــى إيــه؟
What have you done to my heart?
قــلــبــى اِطــَّــمــِّــن عــشــان
My heart settled down because
لــَــقــى الــلــى يــخــاف عــلــيــه
It found someone to worry about
عــايــش مــعــاك أيــام مــفــيــش فــى جــمــالــهــا
I am living with you the most beautiful days
زى الــمــلاك ، دى أقــل كــلــمــة هــأقــولــهــا
Like an angel, this is the least word I would say
نظرة عــيــنــيــك لــلــحــاجــة بــتــجــَــمــِّــلــهــا
The look of your eyes to anything makes it beautiful
أحــلــم بــإيــه؟ مــا هــى بــايــنــة مــن أولــهــا
What should I dream of? It is all clear
عــايــش مــعــاك أيــام مــفــيــش فــى جــمــالــهــا
I am living with you the most beautiful days
زى الــمــلاك دى أقــل كــلــمــة هــأقــولــهــا
Like an angel, this is the least word I would say
أنــا روحــى فــيــك ، عــيــنـى فــى عــيــنــيــك و اِســألــهــا
I love you. (Put) your eye to my eye and ask it
صــعــب الــحــيــاة مــن غــيــرك أتــخــيــلــهــا
Hard is life without you to imagine
آه آه آه آه آه آه آه آه آه
Ah, ah, ah ah, ah, Ah
مــفــيــش يــا حــبــيــبــى زيــك فــى الــدنــيــا دى
There is no one, Oh baby, like you in this world
مــا شــوفــتــش لــلــجــمـال دا اِتــنــيــن ، و لا الــحــنــيــة دى عــلــى حــد
I have never seen such beauty, neither the tenderness
بــرئ و الــلــى فــى بــراءتــك كــده مــش عــادى
Innocent and those of similar innocence are unusual
تــقــابــلــه كــل فــيــن و فــيــن ، دى نــاس فــى الــدنــيــا دى بــتــتــعــد
Those are hardly met, those are hardly counted.
كــان فــيــنــك مــن زمــان
Where were you long ago!
عــمــلــت فــى قــلــبــى إيــه؟
What have you done to my heart?
قــلــبــى اِطــَّــمــِّــن عــشــان
My heart settled down because
لــَــقــى الــلــى يــخــاف عــلــيــه
It found someone to worry about
عــايــش مــعــاك أيــام مــفــيــش فــى جــمــالــهــا
I am living with you the most beautiful days
زى الــمــلاك ، دى أقــل كــلــمــة هــأقــولــهــا
Like an angel, this is the least word I would say
نظرة عــيــنــيــك لــلــحــاجــة بــتــجــَــمــِّــلــهــا
The look of your eyes to anything makes it beautiful
أحــلــم بــإيــه؟ مــا هــى بــايــنــة مــن أولــهــا
What should I dream of? It is all clear
عــايــش مــعــاك أيــام مــفــيــش فــى جــمــالــهــا
I am living with you the most beautiful days
زى الـــمــلاك دى أقــل كــلــمــة هــأقــولــهــا
