Amr Diab; “Living With You” Posted by 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

I am living with you the most beautiful days
