Rim Banna - Top of the Mountain

I'll go up to the top of the mountain and bring a key with me
And open my father's garden and sit there and relax
Oh lord, give us some rain to water the apple trees
And the pretty girl that is not forgotten
The sea of her eyes is vast

I'll go up to the top of the mountain and greet the valley
And say "hello" and the breeze of my country blows
Oh lord, give us a night of rain and flood the valley
And I make my arms a bring to carry the little boy

I went down to the edge of the sea to tell them goodbye
I found that they had already traveled and that the wind took there where they wanted
I called the captain of the ship to bring them back
These beloved of mine left and they have the key to my heart with them

I'll go up to the top of the mountain and complain about the situation to God
I found the little guy sleeping in the protection of God
I unveiled his cheeks and said Mashallah (meaning: what God has willed is good, exclamation of surprise and wonder, the context of this line appears to be she has found a little boy who was wrapped up and so she unwrapped the blanket or whatever to see him)
His face is like the shape of the moon, remember it for me

I went to their gardens just before the evening
I found them sleeping and their lantern was put out
I reached for the sweet basile plant to pick off a little piece
The little boy shouted to them "it's a thief!"

ريم بنا - راس الجبل

لأطلع ع راس الجبل وآخد معي مفتاح
وافتح جنينة أبي وأقعد فيها وارتاح
يا ربي زخة مطر تروي شجر التفاح
والحلوة يللي مابتنتسى بحر عيونها سواح

لأطلع ع راس الجبل وأشرف على الوادي
وأقول يا مرحبة نسّم هوا بلادي
يا ربي ليلة مطر ويسيل عالوادي
وأعمل زنودي جسر وأقلط البنية

ونزلت ع شط البحر لأني أودعهم
لقيت هم سافرو والريح مطاوعتهم
ناديت رئيس المركب لحتى يرجعهم
هدول أحبابي راحوا مفتاح القلب معهم

لأطلع ع راس الجبل أشكي الامر لله
لقيت الحلو غافي في حماية الله
كشفت عن وجنيته وقلت يا ما شاء الله
الوجه دورة قمر يا لله احفظولي اياه

مريت ع داريهم قبل العيشى بنتفى
لقيتهم نايمين وسراجهم مطفي
مديت ايدي عالحبق لأقطف انا قصفة
صاح البني إليهم يا ما حرامية

ونزلت ع شط البحر لأني أودعهم
لقيت هم سافرو والريح مطاوعتهم
ناديت رئيس المركب لحتى يرجعهم
هدول أحبابي راحوا مفتاح القلب معهم
