Abdel Halim Hafez is one of the foremost names in Arabic music. Born in 1929, Abdel Halim Hafez's rise to stardom accompanied the rise of Egyptian nationalism and independence in the 1950s, thus making him into a national cultural symbol along with the great female singer Oum Kalthoum and the talented composed Mohamed Abdel Wahab.

Abdel Halim Hafez - Who could my darling be? My friends are confused, thinking My darling... who could she be? Thinking... asking themselves Things and more things Asking themselves in madness Who could my darling be? Whispering to each other, imagining Names and more names

And all this is a waste, dust

Don't worry, be calm my dear
I hide my love for you from the eyes of others
Don't think that it's I, my darling
For how could they know from me
Who my darling could be?

My dear, I did not say a thing
I'm as devoted to you as I am to myself
Don't worry about their glances towards you
For you are in the depth of my being
So leave them, my life, thinking

And I will never ever say
On my life, so that it may go on
Their whispers can't scare you
The secret of the secrets of my life

عبد الحليم حافظ - حبيبتي من تكون

الرفاق حائرون يفكــــــــــرون
حبيبتي انا ... من تكــــــــــون
يفكرون .. يتساؤلــــــــــــــون
اشيـاء واشيـــــــــــــــــــــــاء
يتساءلون في جنـــــــــــــــون
حبيبتي من تكــــــــــــــــــــون
يتهامسون .. يتخيلــــــــــــون
اسماء واسمـــــــــــــــــــــــاء

ويضيع كل هذا هبــــــــــــــاء

لا تخافي واهدأي يا صغيرتــي
اخفي هواك عن العيــــــــــون
لا تبالي انني يا حبيبتـــــــــــي
فكيف مني يعرفـــــــــــــــــون

حبيبتي انا من تكـــــــــــــــون

صغيرتي انا لم اقل شيئـــــــــا
فحرصي عليكِ كحرص نفسـي
لا تحذري نظراتهم إليــــــــــك
فأنتِ في اعماق ذاتـــــــــــــي
فدعيهم يا حياتي يفكــــــــرون
لا تخافي واهدأي يا صغيرتــي
اخفي هواك عن العيــــــــــون
حبيبتي انا من تكـــــــــــــــون
وابداً ابداً لن اقــــــــــــــــــول
على الحياة لكي تطــــــــــــول
لا تفزعك همساتهم عليــــــــك
سر اسرار حياتـــــــــــــــــــي
يتساءلون .. يتخيلـــــــــــــون
لا تبالي انني يا حبيبتـــــــــــي
فكيف مني يعرفـــــــــــــــــون
حبيبتي .. من تكــــــــــــــــون

حبيبتي

Abdel Halim Hafez - A Message from Underwaterعبد الحليم حافظ - رسالة من تحت الماءRisala min Taht al-Ma

This is a poem written by Nizar Qabbani and performed by Abdel Halim Hafez. I know the quality of the video is lousy, so I've gone to the other extreme and provided the highest quality mp3 as well.

Abdel Halim Hafez - Message from Underwater If you're my friend... help me To leave you Or if you're my beloved... help me To heal from you If I had known that love was so dangerous I wouldn't have loved If I had known that the sea was so deep I would not have set sail If I had known my ending I would not have begun I longed for you... so teach me To not long Teach me how to clip the roots of your love from my depths Teach me how the tear dies in the pupils (meaning teach him how to not cry) Teach me how the heart dies and desire kills itself If you're strong... pull me out From this sea For I know not the art of swimming The blue wave in your eyes... Is dragging me to the deeps And I have no experience In love... Nor have I a lifeboat If I was dear to you, take my hand For I am in love from my head to my toes I am breathing under the water I'm drowning Drowning Drowning

عبد الحليم حافظ - رسالة من تحت الماء

إن كنتَ صديقي.. ساعِدني
كَي أرحَلَ عَنك..
أو كُنتَ حبيبي.. ساعِدني
كَي أُشفى منك
لو أنِّي أعرِفُ أنَّ الحُبَّ خطيرٌ جِدَّاً
ما أحببت
لو أنِّي أعرفُ أنَّ البَحرَ عميقٌ جِداً
ما أبحرت..
لو أنِّي أعرفُ خاتمتي
ما كنتُ بَدأت...
إشتقتُ إليكَ.. فعلِّمني
أن لا أشتاق
علِّمني كيفَ أقُصُّ جذورَ هواكَ من الأعماق
علِّمني كيف تموتُ الدمعةُ في الأحداق
علِّمني كيفَ يموتُ القلبُ وتنتحرُ الأشواق
إن كنتَ قويَّاً.. أخرجني
من هذا اليَمّ..
فأنا لا أعرفُ فنَّ العوم
الموجُ الأزرقُ في عينيك.. يُجرجِرُني نحوَ الأعمق
وأنا ما عندي تجربةٌ
في الحُبِّ .. ولا عندي زَورَق
إن كُنتُ أعزُّ عليكَ فَخُذ بيديّ
فأنا عاشِقَةٌ من رأسي حتَّى قَدَمَيّ
إني أتنفَّسُ تحتَ الماء..
إنّي أغرق..
أغرق..
أغرق

Abdel Halim Hafez - The High Damعبد الحليم حافظ - السد العاليEl Sadd el AaliLe Barrage d'Assouan

A song from the height of the Nasser era, written for the celebratory opening of the Aswan High Dam. Interestingly, the opening rhythm of the song sounds quite Nubian to my ears - the irony being that the High Dam flooded Nubia and effectively destroyed it, forcing 90,000 people to flee.



Abdel Halim Hafez - The High Dam

We said we will build, and indeed we built, the High Dam.
O Colonialism, we built the High Dam with our hands.
We said we will build, and indeed we built, the High Dam.
O Colonialism, we built the High Dam with our hands.
With our money, with our workers’ hands.
With our money, with our workers’ hands.
That’s the word; indeed we built it.
We said we will build, and indeed we built, the High Dam.
I…
O Colonialism, we built the High Dam with our hands.
I…
What?
Excuse me, I’d like to say something.
What?
This isn’t a story about the Dam;
It’s a story about the struggle behind the Dam.
It’s our story, the story of
a people who, for the sacred march, rose and revolted
A people advancing, lighting sparks with each step.
A fighting people for whom victory was written.
Will you hear the story?
Just tell it from the beginning!
It’s the story of a war
Between us and colonialism
Do you remember when the people became Westernized
Inside their country?
Yes, we remember!
And the forceful occupier enjoyed himself
In it – him alone?
We haven’t forgotten!
And the gallows were for whoever was coming and going;
And the blood of the free who passed away in Denshawai.
Here it all started;
The people began the story.
Our struggle,
By the fire of our wounds,
Was written with the blood of the victims.
And we overcame! We overcame! We overcame!
We overcame the day the army rose up and revolted,
The day we lit the fire of its revolution,
The day we expelled corruption,
The day we liberated the country,
The day we made them withdraw!
We overcame! We overcame! We overcame!

The good, beloved land returned
to the hands of its owners.
We took back its glory and the treasures
lost in its soil.
We said, “Let’s go build its future
and return to it its youth.”
”What will we do?”
It was natural that we look to the Nile,
which holds our souls in its hands.
It dies and is lost in the sea,
while the deserts long for it.
We said, “Let’s build a High Dam,
a High Dam, a High Dam.”

But colonialism made it very difficult for us.
Why should we give it back our glory?
What did he do?
He went to the bank which helps and gives.
A clerk told him, told us, “I have nothing for you.”
”What did we say?”
There was a powerful outcry
In the square in Alexandria
A cry given by Gamal
And we nationalized the canal!
We nationalized the canal! We nationalized the canal!
That blow came from an instructorم
who made colonialism surrender.
And the economic blockade:
It brought its weapons and its planes,
Its submarines and its tanks,
And attacked to make us submit.
We were fire that ate their armies.
Fire that says, “Do you want more?”
And we overcame; their disgrace is still memorialized
in the soil of Port Said.
And Pan-Arabism… every home stood with us,
And the free people stood against those who attacked us.
And we overcame! We overcame! We overcame!

This, then, is the people’s story.
a people who, for the sacred march, rose and revolted
A people advancing, lighting sparks with each step.
A people Gamal made victorious.

We said we will build, and indeed we built, the High Dam.
The High Dam!
O Colonialism, we built the High Dam with our hands.
The High Dam!
With our money, with our workers’ hands.
With our money, with our workers’ hands.
That’s the word; indeed we built it.

عبد الحليم حافظ - السد العالي

قولنا هنبنى وادى احنا بنينا السد العالى
يا استعمار بنيناه بأدينا السد العالى
قولنا هنبنى وادى احنا بنينا السد العالى
يا استعمار بنيناه بأدينا السد العالى
من اموالنا بايد عمالنا
من اموالنا بايد عمالنا
هى الكلمه وادى احنا بنينا

قولنا هنبنى وادى احنا بنينا السد العالى
وانى
يا ستعمار بنيناه بايدينا السد العالى
وانى
إيه؟
تسمحولى بكلمه
ايه؟
الحكايه مش حكايه السد
حكايه الكفاح اللى ورا السد
حكايتنا احنا حكايه
شعب للزحف المقدس قام وثار
شعب زاحف خطوته تولع شرار
شعب كافح وانكتبله الانتصار
تسمعوا الحكايه؟
بس قولها من البدايه
هى حكايه حرب وتار
بينا وبين الاستعمار
فاكريين لما الشعب اتغرب
جوه فبلده
اه فاكريين
والمحتل الغاصب ينعم
فيها لوحده
مش ناسيين
والمشانق للى رايح واللى جاى
ودم احرارنا اللى راحوا فى دنشواى
من هنا كانت البدايه
وابتدى الشعب الحكايه
كان كفاحنا
بنار جراحنا
يكتبه دم الضحايا
وانتصارنا انتصرنا انتصرنا
انتصارنا يوم ما هب الجيش وثار
يوم ما اشعلنا ثوره له ونار
يوم ما اخرجنا الفساد
يوم ما حررننا البلاد
يوم ما حققنا الجلاء
انتصرنا انتصرنا انتصرنا

رجعت الارض الحبيبه الطيبه
لايدين صحابها
التقينا العز فيها والكنوز
تايها فى ترابها
قولنا نلحق نبنى مستقبلها
ونرجع شببها
نعمل ايه
كان طبيعى نبص للنيل
اللى ارواحنا فى ايديه
مايته فى البحر ضايعه
والصحارى فى شوق اليه
قلنا نبنى سد عالى
سد عالى سد عالى

بس الاستعمار صعب حالنا عليه
ليه نرجع مجدنا ونعيده ليه
يعمل إيه؟
راح على البنك اللى بساعد ويدى
قاله حاسب قالنا ملكمش عندى
قلنا ايه
كانت الصرخه القويه
فى الميدان فى اسكندريه
صرخه اطلقها جمال
واحنا اممنا القنال
احنا أممنا القنال! احنا أممنا القنال!
ضربه كانت من معلم
خلى الاستعمار يسلم
والحصار الاقتصادى
جاب سلاحه طيارته
غوصاته دباباته
واعتدى علشان نسلم
هو مين لاء ده بعده
هو مين لاء ده بعده
كنا نار اكلت جيوشهم
نار تقول هل من مزيد
وانتصرنا ولسه عارهم ذكرى
فى تراب بورسعيد
والعروبه فكل دار وقفت معانا
والشعوب الحره جت عاللى عدانا
وانتصرنا انتصرنا انتصرنا

ادى حكايه الشعب
شعب للزحف المقدس قام وثار
شعب زاحف خطوته تولع شرار
شعب حققله جمال الانتصار

قولنا هنبنى وادى احنا بنينا
السد العالى
يا استعمار بنيناه بايدينا
السد العالى
من اموالنا بايد عمالنا
من اموالنا بايد عمالنا
هى الكلمه وادى احنا بنينا

Abdel Halim Hafez - Tomorrow and the Day Afterعبد الحليم حافظ - بكره وبعدهBukra wa BaadoDemain et Surlendemain

Abdel Halim Hafez - Tomorrow and the Day After Tomorrow and the day after Tomorrow and the day after He promised me he would fullfill his promise All of it just tomorrow and the day after

I shall pass the most beautiful day
After two days I'll see him and his eyes
And how wil this world accomodate me?
My happiness is a little bigger than it
And from afar the eye sees it
Coming and coming with good fortune
Two days from now I will meet her
All of it tomorrow... and just the day after
After to days his answer will come to me
My heart will be happy with him and his answer
And that which passed in my life I forgot
Except this day I considered him
And I found my heart that whishes
Lost between hell and heaven
I said wait you're going to become happy
All of it tomorrow and just the day after
You are the one whose antagonism worries my mind
From now on while he lives in my imagination
The two days shall pass the days
The two nights shall pass the nights
And the dates if they were insignificant to him
Your appointments are in his eyes
And there is not one else but him to do like this
All of this tomorrow and just the day after

عبد الحليم حافظ - بكره وبعده

بكره وبعده بكره وبعده
اللي وعدني حيوفي بوعده

كلها بكره بس وبعده ..
أجمل يوم حيمر عليّ
بعد يومين حتشوفه عينيه
والدنيا دي إزاي حتساعني
فرحتي أكبر منها شوية
وعلى البعد العين شايفاها
جاية وجايبة السعد معاها
هنه يومين اتنين والقاها
كلها بكره .. كلها بكره .. بس وبعده ..
بعد يومين حيجيني جوابه
يسعد بيه قلبي وأحبابه
واللي فات من عمري نسيته
إلا اليوم ده عملت حسابه
ولقيت قلبي اللي بيتمنى
تايه بين النار والجنة
قلت استنى راح تتهنى
كلها بكره بس وبعده
ياللي معادك شاغل بالي
من دلوقتي وعاش في خيالي
اليومين حيفوتوا أيام
والليلتين حيمروا ليالي
والمواعيد لو هانوا عليه
أنت ميعادك جوه عنيه
ولا فيش غيره عمل كده فيه
كلها بكره بس وبعده

Abdel Halim Hafez - Dreaming of You Dreaming of you, I'm dreaming of you And with my longing I await you And if you didn't ask me It would be enough for me I lived nights hear dreaming of you I'm dreaming of you

I'm dreaming of you my darling
I am the one who spent restless nights here
I am dreaming of you know since when
Since the first moment I knew I loved you
I've been dreaming of you and loving you
And you are my first and last love
And you are my life and my smile

I'm dreaming of an imaginary paradise
Before love it wasn't lasting
I'm dreaming of you and it's scary for me
That you're beside me for the whole night
And I prefer to love you and tell you my sweetheart
I call you by the most beautiful name my sweetheart

As long as my life lasts my darling
I'll wait for you forever my darling
Night and day I will say oh my darling
You're the one that nobody told about the desire I am feeling
Tomorrow the love will reach you and you can try its nights

عبد الحليم حافظ - بحلم بك

بحلم بيك انا بحلم بيك

Abdel Halim Hafez - Accidentعبد الحليم حافظ - صدفةSodfaHasard

The word "sodfa" can mean accident, coincident, or by chance etc. and i've translated it here differently depending on the context.

Abdel Halim Hafez - Accident The day I fell in love with you was the most beautiful accident When I met you once by chance Oh you whose beauty is the most beautiful surprise The day I fell in love with you was an accident It was by chance that I met you and wasn't on my mind At that hour I saw the beauty of the world It was by chance that you found me and my condition changed It was exchanged for my loneliness in a second Take me beauty of the soul and levity My love for you was a surprise Don't think of the day you might fight with me Or leave me suddenly And if I turn away form you one day make good with me Don't leave me, wait for the chance meeting And spare me the desire and longing The day I fell in love with you was the most beautiful accident

عبد الحليم حافظ - صدفة

كان يوم حبك أجمل صدفة
لما قابلتك مرة صدفة
ياللي جمالك أجمل صدفة
كان يوم حبك صدفة
صدفة قابلتك ولا على بالي
شفت ساعتها جمال الدنيا
صدفة لقيتني إتغير حالي
واتبدلت لوحدي في ثانية
خدني جمال الروح والخفة
كان حبك أجمل صدفة
أوعى تفكر يوم تخاصمني
أو تهجرني ولو بالصدفة
وإن صادفك يوم ابقى صالحني
ماتفتنيش استنى الصدفة
وارحمني من الشوق واللهفة
كان يوم حبك أجمل صدفة

Abdel Halim Hafez - Tell Me Somethingعبد الحليم حافظ - قوللي حاجةOulli HagaDis-moi

Abdel Halim Hafez - Tell Me Something Tell me something anything Say I love you say I hate you Say something and don't worry about anything Tell me 'I want you' tell me 'what are you doing here?' But tell me something my darling

In my life I never got used to you being with me
And you thinking by yourself

Do tell my heart, Do tell my hope, tell me what's the secret?
Do tell my heart, Do tell my hope, tell me what's the secret?

Abdel Halim Hafez - Where Do We Begin the Story From?عبد الحليم حافظ - نبتدى منين الحكاية ؟Nebteda Minen al Hekaya

Abdel Halim Hafez - Where Do We Begin the Story From? If we told it, my darling, where would we begin the start We are the story of our love It has more than a beginning We lived in it, oh how we life I experienced things in it, oh the things we experienced But we walked and completed the journey of love And arrived And the world could not resist us Or divide us or push us apart Let's tell others You and I How we could have distanced ourselves from any torment And live as lovers forever Embracing our joy together And making love young You and I met on our journey Many things hurt others Jealousy and its thoughts and that which comes from it The day it approached us our love backed away from it And we met the envious ones and they saw us And they thought nothing of passing us And they talked about us, oh how they talked While our love never changed And you traveled and I traveled As the days prolonged the travel And our hearts were reuinted with every rise of the moon And if our footsteps drew us apart The sweetness of desire drew us closer together Where does the antagonism come from? And from where came the separation? When we are among our hearts every moment is celebration

In a moment we stood and began our fear
And we found around us the world was foggy
And the night and heart were hurt
Like leaves of a tree in the autumntime thrown by the wind
We asked our souls why?
More than our love, what is there?
But the fear did not last between us
And we knew and saw and felt

I see love eyes and a whisped but I see
The love talk of lovers my darling is the talk of the lips
You beside me at every occassion
It gathers us and the sights go far with me
When I see we find it is two together melting in the touch of a hand

You tell me I fear we'll walk and grow apart
This love is ruthless and is playing with us
What are you afraid of?
What is more beautiful than an embrace that warms us
You tell me look a the moon with me look at the moon
That the lovers spend their nights for
Sweetness of the moon, but sweeter than the moon
If we someday make our so that we taste love
And our fears were renewed after we stopped
And with the beat of our hearts we knew what the cure was
We lived love as a fantasy and a reality together

عبد الحليم حافظ - نبتدى منين الحكاية ؟

لو حكينا يا حبيبي.. نبتدي منين الحكاية؟
احنا قصة حبنا.. ليها اكتر من بداية
عشنا فيها يا ما عشنا..شفنا فيها.. يا ما شفنا
لكن مشينا وكملنا.. مشوار الحب ووصلنا
والدنيا ما قدرت تعاندنا.. وتفرق بينا وتبعدنا
تعالى نقول لغيرنا.. أنا وانت ازاي قدرنا
نبعد عن أي عذاب.. ونعيش على طول أحباب
نحضن فرحتنا سوا.. ونخلي الحب شباب
وقابلنا انا وانت في مشوارنا.. حاجات كتير جرحت غيرنا
الغيرة وظنونها.. واللي بيجرى منها
في يوم ما قربت منا.. بعدها حبنا عنها
وقابلنا الحاسدين وشافونا.. ولا هانش عليهم يفوتونا
وقالوا علينا قالوا يا ما قالوا.. وهوانا ولا اتغير حاله
وتسافر وأسافر.. وأيام يطول السفر
وقلوبنا بتتقابل.. مع كل طلعة قمر
وان جت خطوتنا تغربنا.. حلاوة الشوق بتقربنا
ومنين يجينا الخصام؟.. ومنين يجينا البعاد؟
واحنا بين قلوبنا.. كل لحظة ميعاد
تعالى نقول لغيرنا.. انا وانت إزاي قدرنا
نبعد عن أي عذاب. ونعيش عل طول أحباب
نحضن فرحتنا سوا.. ونخلي الحب شباب
وفي لحظة وقفنا وابتدا خوفنا
ولقينا حوالينا الدنيا ضباب.. وليل وقلب جريح
زي أوراق الشجر وقت الخريف.. رماها الريح
سألنا روحنا ليه ..أكبر من حبنا.. ايه..ايه؟
لكن مطالش الخوف بينا..وعرفنا وشفنا وحسينا

أنت شايف الحب كله عيون.. وهمس لكن أنا شايف
أحلى كلام عشاق يا حبيبي.. هو كلام الشفايف
انت وانت جنبي في كل ميعاد.. بيجمعنا بتروح بعيد ويا التنهيد
وأنا بشوف لقانا هو اثنين سوا.. دايبين في لمسة ايد

بتقولي بخاف نمشي ونبعد.. دا الهوى جبار يلعب بينا
خايف من ايه؟
في اجمل إيه.. من حضن يدفينا
بتقولي شوف القمر ويايا شوف القمر
اللي كل العاشقين.. سهروا الليالي ليه
حلو القمر حلو.. بس أحلى من القمر..لو نخلي عمرنا يوم ندوق الحب فيه
واتبدد خوفنا.. من بعد وقوفنا
وبدقة قلوبنا.. عرفنا ايه الدوا
وعشنا الحب خيال.. وحقيقة سوا

Abdel Halim Hafez - The Arms of the Loved Onesعبد الحليم حافظ - احضان الحبايبِAhdan Al Habayeb

Abdel Halim Hafez - The Arms of the Loved Ones You walked on thorns and went to your loved ones They didn't know what sent you nor what brought you You threw yourself in their arms that watered you with sadness There is a thorn in the arms of the loved ones my heart

We walked here and went there
We came carrying our wounds and we cried
We said we came, we walked there
And we went to there to our wounds
We came carrying our wounds and we cried, we said we came
We came to you all to whom I write take us
Pull the thorn from our chests and the tears from our eyes
My heart, oh strange country, illuminated by tears
You threw yourself in their arms that watered you with sadness
Even in the arms of the loved ones, my heart, there are thorns

Oh you who in the night of distance we forget that you were with us
Oh you who we dream of laughing while we are sad
In the name of your love for me I put out the remaining candle in my nights
In the name of your feelings for me you sprinkle thorns in the road of my coming days
My short was spread out here and my love and my hopes
How is they surrender my boat to sadness again?
The world is cloudy in my eyes
Where are you sending me oh sadness
The journey of a far off illusion
The journey of a new sadness
I cry beneath the nights and fear full of tears
My heart, oh strange land illuminated by tears
You threw yourself in their arms that watered you with sadness
Even in the arms of the loved ones, my heart, there are thorns

عبد الحليم حافظ - مشيت على الأشواك

مشيت على الأشواك وجيت لأحبابك
لا عرفوا إيه وداك ولا عرفوا إيه جابك
رميت نفسك في حضن سقاك الحضن حزن
بأحضان الحبايب شوك يا قلبي
مشينا هنا ورحنا لهناك جينا شايلين جراحنا وبكينا
قلنا جينا مشينا هناك ورحنا اللي هناك جرحونا
جينا شايلين جراحنا وبكينا قلنا جينا
جينا لكم يللي لينا بكتب لكم خدونا
شيلوا الشوك من صدورنا والدموع من عينينا
قلبي يا بلاد غريبة بتنورها الدموع
رميت نفسك بحضن سقاك الحضن حزن
حتى بأحضان الحبايب شوك يا قلبي
يللي في ليل البعد ننسى إنه كنتوا معانا
يللي بنحلم بيكم ضحكة وإحنا حزانا
باسم هواكم لي بطفو الشمعة الباقية بليالي
باسم العطف علي بترشوا الشوك فى طريق أيامي الجايه
يا شط كان مفروش هنا وحب و أماني إزاى تسلم مركبى للحزن تاني
الدنيا غايمة في عيوني على فين يا حزن موديني
رحلة الوهم البعيدة
رحلة الحزن الجديدة
ابكي تحت الليالي والخوف ملو الدموع
قلبي يا بلاد غريبة بتنورها الدموع
رميت نفسك بحضن سقاك الحضن حزن
حتى بأحضان الحبايب شوك يا قلبى

Abdel Halim Hafez - Never Againعبد الحليم حافظ - توبةTobaPlus Jamais

Abdel Halim Hafez - Never Again Never again will I love you Meet me once again Just one more time And after that never again

Never again will I fight with you and come back and make good again
Oh how often distance has watered me and closeness has exhausted me
And if your specter passed by in my dream its face would wake me
I've already made good with you but after that never again

Never again will I believe anything you say
No matter what you ask I will not even believe your greeting
Just promise me you will never cry in front of me
It's best that I lie to my soul and say after this never again

Ow the confusion of my heart
Ow the tear of my eye
Whenever I say I'll forget you they miss your fire and wake me up
I run and ask about you before you come to me
I'll never laugh again, I'll never cry again, and after this never again

عبد الحليم حافظ - توبة

توبة إن كنت أحبك تاني توبة
بس قابلني مرة وتبقى دي آخر نوبة وبعدها توبة
توبة إن كنت أخاصمك وأرجع أصالحك تاني
ياما البعد سقاني وياما القرب ضناني
وإن فات طيفك يوم في منامي وجه صحاني
برضه أصالحك بس أهي نوبة وبعدها توبة

توبة إن كنت حصدق تاني كلامك
مهما حتسأل مش راح أصدق حتى سلامك
بس أوعدني أوعى تبكي وأنا قدامك
أحسن أكذب روحي وأقول أهي نوبة وبعدها توبة

آه من حيرة قلبي وآه من دمعة عيني
كل ما أقول أنساك توحشهم نارك وتصحيني
أجري وأسأل عنك قبل ما انت تجيني
أضحك نوبة وأبكي نوبة وبعدها توبة

Abdel Halim Hafez - What's My Crime?عبد الحليم حافظ - ايه ذنبي ايه؟Eh Zembi Eh?

Abdel Halim Hafez - What's My Crime? What's my crime? You're not telling me it Why are you antagonizing me? When you are my darling? My soul is with you My heart is with you And how long will my sadness last? When you are my darling? Without you telling me you're leaving me And leaving me with my confusion and anxiety You reproach me, but possible you could forgive me Maybe reproaching me is unjust When you and I have no one here except each other

What's my crime?
You're not telling me it
Why are you antagonizing me?
When you are my darling?
When will you going to tell me about your leaving?
And what you've done?
Throughout my life I've loved you
And I never betrayed your passion
And throghout your life around me I will remain faithful to my vow
Remaining affectionate
Why are we just wasting our days?
In your antagonism and my longing for you?
Our nights miss our words
And my eye misses your eye
And throghout your life around me I will remain faithful to my vow
Remaining affectionate
When you and I have no one here except each other

What's my crime?
You're not telling me it
Why are you antagonizing me?
When you are my darling?
My soul is with you
My heart is with you
And how long will my sadness last?
When you are my darling?

عبد الحليم حافظ - ايه ذنبي ايه؟

إيه ذنبي إيه .. ما تقوللي عليه
تخاصمني ليه .. لما انت حبيبي
الروح وياك .. والقلب معاك
ولإمتى جفاك .. لما انت حبيبي
من غير ما تقوللي تهجرني .. وتفوتني لحيرتي وشجوني
عاتبني يمكن تعذرني .. يمكن عذالي ظلموني
وانت وأنا ما لناش هنا غير بعضنا
إيه ذنبي إيه ما تقوللي عليه .. تخاصمني ليه لما أنت حبيبي
فكرني هجرتك امتى .. وعملت اللي انت عملته
طول عمري بحبك انت .. وغرامك عمري ما خنته
وحياتك عندي .. ح افضل على عهدي .. باقي على ودي
ليه بس نضيع أيامنا .. في خصامك وحنيني إليك
ليالينا اشتاقت لكلامنا .. وعيني وحشتها عنيك
وحياتك عندي .. ح أفضل على عهدي .. باقي على ودي
وانت وأنا ما لناش هنا غير بعضنا
إيه ذنبي إيه ما تقوللي عليه .. تخاصمني ليه لما أنت حبيبي
الروح وياك .. والقلب معاك .. ولإمتى جفاك لما انت حبيبي

Abdel Halim Hafez - Love is Beautifulعبد الحليم حافظ - الحب جميلEl Hob Gamil

Abdel Halim Hafez - Love is Beautiful Love is beautiful The one we live in It has a thousand sings Ask me about it

It passes the eye and awakens it from the depths of sleep
It passes the soul and flies around the world with it in a day
And when the heart comes it is joyous
When I find you sitting beside me
My sweet hopes whirl in your heart beat with mine
And if my darling ever was away from me
Me and my thoughts would always be waiting at the thresholds
And he who is preoccupied with the love of the lovers
His torture is comfort and his comfort is torture
Not he whose beloved purifies for him
His thoughts calm down and relax
Nor he whose destiny passed him
Wounds sleep in his heart
When he fights with me I rejoice and imagine a joy he'll find if one day he came to me
And if he came making good with me I would cry and think
From my fear of him fighting again

عبد الحليم حافظ - الحب جميل

الحب جميل .. للي عايش فيه
له ألف دليل .. أسألوني عليه
بيفوت ع العين .. ويصحيها من عز النوم
ويفوت ع الروح .. ويطير بيها الدنيا في يوم
ولما القلب يجي يفرح .. ساعة ما ألاقيك قاعد جنبي
أمالي الحلوة تتمرجح .. في دقة قلبك مع قلبي
وإن فات حبيبي يوم أو غاب .. أنا والظنون دايما في عتاب
واللي انشغل بهوى الأحباب .. عذابه راحة وراحته عذاب
لا اللي صفا له حبيبه .. باله هدي وارتاح
ولا اللي فاته نصيبه .. نامت في قلبه جراح
لما يخاصمني بأفرح وأصور .. فرحة لقاه لو يوم جاني
وإن جه صالحني أبكي وأفكر .. من خوفي ليخاصم تاني

Abdel Halim Hafez - The Perfect Womanعبد الحليم حافظ - كامل الأوصافKamel el Awsaf

I'm translating "Kamel al Awsaf" as "The Perfect Woman" because 'kamel' indicates perfection or completeness and 'awsaf' are descriptions, meaning she fits the description of perfect. And the "3oyun el-Sud (Black Eyes)" are beautiful dark eyes probably with lots of eyeliner, not bruises from being beaten. Enjoy the video of the bellydancer Jihan Al Masri from Lebanon.

Abdel Halim Hafez - The Perfect Woman The perfect woman charmed me And the black eyes took me I went from their love singing Oh night, oh my eye Oh night

The black eyes, their lashes are the night
A night dreaming of what is missing
And the black eyes took me
Oh my heart you are melting
They taught you to stay up singing
They taught you lover's desire
Why my heart why?
Why did they take me why?
They made me lost
They estranged me
The black eyes
Why did they take me?

They said be patient
Her seas as wide
They said her lips were saying his sighs
And I stayed up waiting while the star was with me
It melted me and we melted
In eyes that make you forget
Why my heart why?
Why did they take me why?
They made me lost
They estranged me
The black eyes
Why did they take me?

Abdel Halim Hafez - The Greatest Countryعبد الحليم حافظ - الوطن الأكبرAl Watan Al Akbar

This song was made in probably in the early 1950s, and at any rate, at a time when European powers were still interfering actively in most of the Arab countries.

Abdel Halim Hafez - The Greatest Country With: Sabah, Faiza Kamel, Shadia, Warda, Najat al-Sagheera My country, my beloved The greatest country Its triumphs fill its life Each day its glories grow My country grows and is liberated My country, my country Abdel Halim: My country oh angel your love is in my heart Oh one who called for unity tomorrow You are great, and much more great My country, oh country of the Arab people After you saw the beauty of revolution From the whole universe, from all immortality My country My beloved country Sabah: You are sweet oh glory that fills our hearts You are sweet oh unity oh mosque of our peoples Oh infectious melody between the oceans In Yemen, Damascus and Jedda You are sweet oh victory oh cup that saw us You are sweet oh sweetest melody in our lives Between Marrakech and Bahrain The same tune for a perfect unity The unity of all the Arab people My country my beloved Faiza Kamel: Our nation that we protect A paradise that pleases he who makes peace Look at Beirut after the aggression The strength and power of the people has increased Candles all around her And hellfire pours upon her enemies Where is colonialism and tyranny? And Port Said's story harbored emnity

The Arab people have lived and triumphed
My country, my beloved

Shadia:
My country, most precious country in the world
My country that builds with the builders
The voice, your voice is free and Arab
Oh you whose soil is the makeup of my eye
My country, oh fortress of freedom
And you tear down slavery
No eastern or western echo
Oh you whose love is perfume that envigorates me

You are my beloved my Arab country
My country my beloved

Warda:
My country, oh revolution against their colonialism
If we all seek martyrdom for you
Colonialism will meet its end at our hands
Not in Algeria or Oman
Fill your isles with fire that destroyed them
The stone of your mountains will combat them
Gone from the world is its time
The revolution will destroy tyrrany

Nothing but the triumph of the Arab people
My country my beloved

Najat al-Saghira:
My country oh paradise that all envy
Oh you whose canal returned to your hands
Take from the bounty of your dam
Oh you whose highness is in our worshipping hearts
Of its glories and wonders
And you preserve the good of the world
Make, plant and build with its light
My country whose whole life is sovereign

Country of glory, the Arab country
My country my beloved

Abdel Halim Hafez:
My country who crawls towards its triumps
In Palestine and our rebelling south
We are a country that protects and does not threaten
Oh you who lives a life of glory
We will complete your freedoms
We are a country that preserves and does not waste

The country of glory my Arab country
My country my beloved

Abdel Halim Hafez - Accustomed Accustomed, accustomed You're accustomed to torture with me You're accustomed my heart Accustomed to always being wounded You're accustomed my heart

You're accustomed
