es'al rūHak
Om Kalsoum - Esel Ruhek (Английский перевод)
Ask your soul, ask your heart
before you ask what changed me
My torture in your love changed me
After my hope used to make me patient
Your betrayal of me affected me
And I changed bit by bit
I changed, and it wasn't in my hands (i.e. I had no control over it)
And I began to bury my tenderness for you
And hate my weakness and patience for you
And I chose to go far (from you), and became stubborn
I was even able to desert you
See what cruelty does
I used to perceive you with my tenderness
A sea of love and a safe harbor
I used to feel that you were my time (i.e. my whole life)
My day, and tomorrow, and the day after too
I used to see you with the eyes of my love
Whether you were far or close to me
Closer than my smile (is) to my lips
Closer than my feelings (are) to my heart
After the affection I cared for you
After the love I gave you
After the life I lived for you
What else is there that I can give you?
I haven't forgotten love and its covenant
Or its days or nights
But if it's for love alone
Without your abandonment, I welcome it
Your love confused me
And to forget you
I go far away from every placeOm Kalsoum - Esel Ruhek - http://ru.motolyrics.com/om-kalsoum/esel-ruhek-lyrics-english-translation.html
I went with you, even if it was just once
And I flee from the closest people who know my story with you
And I change any talk that brings back the story of your memory
And you're the one who brought me to this point, with your hands
After my soul was in your hands
I left you, and there's no one in my life
My heart and mind are occupied with (thoughts of) you
I left you without even thinking
Whether I could leave you or not
Ask your soul, ask your heart
Before all that changed, why (did it change)?
My torture in your love changed me
But what changed you?
Was it my tenderness for you that made you callous even to me?
Or was it my contentment that made you play with (my feelings)?
Or my soul's tolerance for you that lured you?
My darling, I am tolerant
Except when it comes to my self-respect and love
You've crossed the limits, and I can't reconcile (with you)
Or go against my heart
Your betrayal of me affected me
And I changed bit by bit
I changed, and it wasn't in my hands (i.e. I had no control over it)
And I began to bury my tenderness for you
And hate my weakness and patience for you
And I chose to go far (from you), and became stubborn
I was even able to desert you
And you, oh my eye (i.e. my darling)
If you were in my place, oh my eye
What would you have done differently?
Ask your soul
