“I Am All Yours”; Sherine Posted by Fisal on Feb 13, 2016 in Arabic Language, Culture, Pronunciation, Vocabulary
Ahlan, Arabic fans! Tomorrow is the 14th. Of February so Happy Valentine’s Day! On this occasion, I am presenting a beautiful love song by the Egyptian singer Sherine Abdel-Wahhab شــيــريــن عــبــد الــوهــاب. The song is entitled “أنــا كــُــلــِّــي مــِــلــكــَــك /Ana Kolli Melkak/” which translates literally as “I Am All Yours”. Nearly all Sherine’s songs are in the Egyptian slang (dialect) Arabic which may be problematic to some non-Arabic speakers.
The song “I Am All Yours” comes as number four in Sherine’s album “أنــا كــتــيــر /Ana Keteer/“. The album was released in January, 2014 and achieved great success. The album is number six in Sherine’s artistic journey that started in 2003. The song is about 04:50 minutes long. It was written by the poet Amir Te’imah أمــيــر طــعــيــمــة and composed by Khaled Ezz خــالــد عــِــز. Sherine’s voice is very remarkable and her music is very wonderful. I did the English translation for the song and I hope you will love it.

You are a joy that came to me
بــعــد عــُــمــْــرِ مــِــن الــتــعــب
After a life of exhaustion
فــي الــســَّــعــَــادة الــلــي بــأعــيــشــهــا
So the happiness I live in
يــا حــبــيــبــي أنــتَ الــســَّــبــَــبْ
Baby, you are the cause
ضــِــحــْــكــِــتــَــكْ .. عــَــقــلــَــكْ .. جــُــنــُــونــَــكْ
You laughter .. Your mind .. Your madness
و الــحــَــنــَــان الــلــي فــي عــُــيــُــونــَــكْ
And the tenderness in your eyes
هــَــأوْصــِــفْ إيــه و أحــْــكــِــيــلــَــكْ إيــه
What shall I describe and what shall I tell!
أنــا .. أنــا كــُــلــِّــي مــِــلــْــكــَــك

With you .. I laugh and feel joy
مــَــا بــقــتــشِ خــَــايــْــفــَــة
I am no longer afraid
إزاى هــَــأخــَــاف و أنــا بــيــن إيــديــك؟
How can I be afraid while in your hands?
ســَــاعــَــات بــخــيــالــي بــَــأســْــرَحْ
Sometimes in my imagination, I wander
قــبــل أمــَّــا بــَــأحــْــلــَــم
(But) before I dream
كــُــلّ حــاجــة بــَــألاقــيــهــا فــِــيــكْ
I see everything in you
و الــســِّــنــيــن هــتــفــُــوت و تــِــمــْــشــِــي
Years shall go and pass
مــِــنــَّــكْ أنــتَ مــُــش هــَــأمــِــلّ
But you, I will never get bored with
بــَــأوْعــِــدَكْ يــا حــَــبــيــبــي عــُــمــْــرِي
I promise you, baby, all my life
شــُــوقــِــي لــِــيــكْ مــَــا فــِـي يــُــوم يــِــقــِــلّ
My yearning (love) to you shall never decrease
هــَــأبــْــقــَــى فــَــرْحــَــكْ وَقــْــتِ حــُــزنــَــك
I will stay your joy at times of sorrow
فــي الــتــَّــعــَــبْ تــِــلاقــِــيــنــي حــُــضــْــنــَــك
When tired, you will find me your rest in my arms.
كــُــلّ يــُــوم مــِــن عــُــمــْــرِي لــِــيــك
Every day of my life is your
أنــا .. أنــا كــُــلــِّــي مــِــلــْــكــَــك
I am .. I am all yours
أنــا كــُــل حــاجــة حــبــيــبــي فــيــَّــا بــتــنــاديــك
Everything in me, baby, is calling you
أنــا .. أنــا مـُـــش بــَــحــِــبــَّــك
