Ahl el maghna by Fella

Mo kul shee byilma3 dahaban, abadan abadan
Everything that shines isn't gold, never never
wala kull shee ghanna taraban, ghanna taraban
and not everyone who sings for enjoyment, sings for enjoyment
el maghna ya ahl el maghan sayir 3ajaban
Singing oh the family of singers *or group of singers* became wonders
fee maghna malo ma3na wala fi adaban
there's singing without meaning or moral

el maghna fanno aseel
singing is a noble art
elli ya3reif sirrow aleel
who knows its secrets are scares
In kan fil sharq o walla el gharb
if it was in the east or in the west
wala fil mawaweel ow fil talyeel
or in the mawaweel or in the talyeel
ya leel ya leel ah ya leeli

Feen yalli ghanno ya zaman, feen el aghani ya, ya lail..
where are those who sang a long time go, where are the songs ya, ya lail
Feen elli saabo ajmal ma3ani
where are those who left the most beautiful meanings
Kan el tarab we ahl el tarab elhom makan
songs and family of singers used to have a *noticeable??* status
W dhaa3 el tarab w ahl el tarab sareit fi 3aali
and songs got lost and family of singers got up so high

El maghna 7ayat el roo7 the singing is the life of the soul
Tishfi el alb el majroo7 cure of the hurt heart
El maghna 7ayat el roo7
Tishfi el alb el majroo7

Mo kul shee byilma3 dahaban etc. etc.


correct my mistakes please

Very good idea.

I don't know what the others think of it, but wouldn't it be better to have the arabic text in arabic alphabet. Transliterations differ so much that we (who are learning arabic) would easily learn to write the words in the wrong way.
And, there is nothing more beautiful than Arabic alphabet ...

By the way, if anyone has got the lyrics of "Ayoun al Qalb" sung by Nagat As-saghira....

Now, I'm going to try and find a beautiful song with its lyrics and post it here, as well.

You're right.. let's write with the original alphabet

Yeah,
I was looking for this song lyrics actually, first of all I didn't know where to put my question on it? Thank you, Jonne.
Trouble with these songs lyrics is when you copy them Arabic part is copied in the order of Latin letters not in their usual order. Well, I guess I would delete the "wrong Arabic" and would have to hand type them in as I look at Jonne's message.
