La Rosa Enflorece

Ladino Lyrics
Nani nani, nani kere el ijo
El ijo de la madre
De chiko se aga grande
Durmite mi alma, ke tu padre viene
Kon muncha alegria, kon muncha alegria
La rosa enflorece, en el mes de mai
Mi alma s'escurese , sufriendo del amor
Los bilbilicos cantan, sospiran del amor
Y la passion me mata, muchigua mi dolor
Mas presto ven, palomba, mas presto ven a mi,
Mas presto tu mi alma, ke yo me vo morir
Mas presto ven querida, corre y salvame
English Translation
Lullaby, lullaby, the boy wants a lullaby,
The mother's son,
Who although small will grow.
Go to sleep my dearest, your father is coming home,
Full of so much joy, full of so much joy
The rose blooms, in the month of mai
My soul darkens, suffering from love
Nightingales sing, with sighs of love
And the passion kills me, my pain increases
Come more quickly, my dove, more quickly, come to me
More quickly you my soul, because I feel myself dying
More quickly come, beloved, run and save me

Romani Lyrics
Sa o roma babo, e bakren chinen
A me, chorro, dural beshava
Romano dive, amaro dive
Amaro dive, ederlezi
Sa o roma daje, sa o roma daje
Sa o roma babo babo, sa o roma o daje
Sa o roma babo babo, eeeehhh
Ederlezi, ederlezi, sa o roma daje
Sa me amala oro khelena
Oro khelena, dive kerena
E devado babo, amenge bakro
Sa o roma babo, e bakren chinen
English Translation
All the roma, dad, slaughter lambs
But me, poor, I am sitting apart
A romany day, our day,
Our day, ederlezi
All the roma, mommy. All the roma, mommy
All the roma, dad, dad. All the roma, oh mommy
All the roma, dad, dad, eeehh
Ederlezi, ederlezi, all the roma, mommy
All my friends are dancing the oro
Dancing the oro, celebrating the day
They give, dad, a lamb for us
All the roma, dad, slaughter lambs

Persian Lyrics:
Gole sangam gole sangam
Chibe gam az dele tangam
Mesle af tab agar barman
Natabi sardamo bi rangam
Hameh a ham hameh dardam
Mesle tufan doreh gardam
Hameh a ham hameh dardam
Mesle tufan doreh gardam
Baden mastam ke tu sahro
Mi picham doreh to me gardam
Mesle baroon agar nabori
Kahabaraz hleh man nadori
Bi to parpar misham doruzeh
Deleh sangat baram misuzeh
Gole sangam gole sangam
Chibe gam az dele tangam
English Translation
I am a stone flower
What to say from my longing heart
Like sun if not on me
Doesn't shine I am cold and colorless
I'm all sighs and all pain
Like a storm I'm full of dust
I'm all sighs and all pain
Like a storm I'm full of dust
A drunken wind in the desert
Lost and going in circles around you
If you don't fall on me like rain
And you don't know how I'm doing
I'll be losing my petals in two days
Your stone heart is softening for me
I am a stone flower
What to say from my longing heart

Nuages

French Lyrics
Lentement dans le soir, le train s'en va
Sur le quai son mouchoir, s'enfuit déjà
Dans la glace comme un songe, le mur gris de sa maison
Sous le jour qui s'allonge, s'estompe à l'horizon
Un nuage s'étire sur son toit bleu,
En passant il semble dire, un triste adieu
Et tout ce que j'aimais, lorsque le train vire
Dans un flot de fumée, s'efface à jamais
Le coeur rempli de fièvre un jour
Croyant trouver l'amour
On fait un beau rêve
Mais l'orage emporte votre bonheur
Le beau roman s'achève et serrant votre coeur
English Translation
Slowly in the evening, the train goes
On the quay his handkerchief is already running away
In the mirror like a dream, the gray wall of her house
Under the day that grows, fades on the horizon
A cloud stretches over its blue roof,
By the way he seems to say, a sad farewell
And all I used to love, when the train turns
In a wave of smoke, fades forever
My heart filled with fever one day
Believing to find love
We have a beautiful dream
But the storm takes your happiness
The beautiful novel comes to an end and squeezing your heart

Tunisian Lyrics:
والله ما كادوني
ستين درجة في العلا ما كادوني
والله ماكادوني
ماكادني كان الكلام الدّوني
جيت نعوم الموج العالي
بدّع بيّا و بهذل حالي
والله ما نجّمته
بعدك و سهر الليل مانجّمته
والله ما نجّمته
لزّوني على النيسان و ما تعلمته
جيت نعوم الموج قلبني
عالرّمله والله شقلبني
والنّجوم يغيبو
لو كان نشكي للنّجوم يغيبو
والنّجوم يغيبو
والبحر ينشح والصّغار يشيبو
جيت نعوم الموج إدّاني
خذاني للغريق و رماني
English Translation:
I swear, they have not defeated me
Sixty steps uphill have not defeated me
I swear they have not defeated me
But painful words, have, you see
I wanted to dive against the high tide
But it crushed me, and drove me to hide
I swear I couldn’t face the fight
After you, I deserted every sleepless night,
I swear I couldn’t face the fight,
They made me forget, I also didn’t learn it right,
I wanted to dive but the waves engulfed me, again, and again,
They capsized me on the sand, and left me there in pain,
The stars will fade
If I lament, the stars will fade
The stars will fade
The sea will run dry, and all the youth will yield to a gray shade
I wanted to dive but the waves swept me so deep,
And threw me to the abyss to sleep

Arabic Lyrics:
لي حبيبٌ حبّه وسط الحشـا
إن يشا يمشي على خدّي مشا
يا نسيم الريح قولي للرشـا
لم يزدني الـِورْد إلا عطشـا
روحه روحي وروحي روحه
إن يشا شئتُ وإن شئتُ يشـا
يا نسيم الريح قولي للرشـا
لم يزدني الـِورْد إلا عطشـا
English Translation
I have a lover whose love, dear to my heart and soul...Is
They could stroll on my cheeks as they please
Tell the dainty one, oh windy breeze,
That those rosebuds have only rendered me more parched for him to please,
His soul is my soul, my soul is his soul
If he yearned, I yearn, and if I yearned he would yearn with ease
Tell the dainty one, oh windy breeze,
That those rosebuds have only rendered me more parched for him to please

Turkish Lyrics
Ben melamet hırkasını
Kendim giydim eynime
Ar u namus şIşesini
Taşa çaldım kime ne
Haydar haydar, taşa çaldım kime ne
Sofular haram demişler
Bu aşkın şarabına
Ben doldurur ben Içerim
Günah benim kime ne
Haydar haydar, günah benim kime ne
Gâh çıkarım gökyüzüne
Seyrederim âlemi
Gâh inerim yeryüzüne
Seyreyler âlem beni hey,
Haydar haydar, seyreder âlem beni
English Translation
I wore the cardigan of modesty on me
Threw the bottle of rectitude
on the ground, who cares
Haydar Haydar, I threw it, who cares
Devotees says it's sinful
It's sinful, the wine of my love
It's me that pours and drinks the wine
It's a sin of mine, who cares
Haydar Haydar, it's my sin, who cares
Sometimes I fly high above
Watching the earth
Sometimes I go down on earth
The earth watches me
Haydar Haydar, the earth watches me
Haydar Haydar, the sin is mine, who cares?

Arabic Lyrics:
فوق إلنا خل فوق
يابا فوق النا خل فوق
مدري لامع خدك
يابا مدري لامع فوق
ولله ما ريده
باليني بلوة
بالله يا مجرى المي
يابا سلم عليهم
صعبان الفرقه علي
يابا اشتقنا إليهم
ولله ما ريده
باليني بلوة
نزلو على الحمام
يابا حنو شعرهم
كل البنات نجوم
يابا حبي قمرهم
ولله ما ريده
باليني بلوة
English Translation:
I've got a friend above
Is that shine from her cheeks
Or from the moon
I swear I don't want her
This love is ruining me
Oh river,
Go say hi to her for me
The separation is hard for me,
I really miss her
I swear I don't want her
This love is ruining me
They went to the ham-mam
To dye their hair with henna
All the beauties are stars
And my beautiful is their moon
I swear I don't want her
This love is ruining me
