Salma Ya Salama

Fi ed-donia el kebira
We beladha el ketira
Laffeit laffeit laffeit

Wi lamma nadani

Hobbi el awalani
Sibt kollo we geit we geit
We fi hodno itramait we ghaneit

Selma ya salama
Rohna we Geina bel-salama
Selma ya salama
Rohna we Geina bel-salama

Lessa el-hob safi
We lessa el-guaw dafi
We lessa fih amar
We ba’d el-maghareb
Netlamleim fi areb
We yetoul es-sahar es-sahar
We es-samar wel ghona koleina

Selma ya salama
Rohna we geina bel-salama
Selma ya salama
Rohna we Geina bel-salama

Fih shagara goua
Guineina ‘aliha ‘alama
Ana yamma kont bafakkar fiha
We basaal yama
Ya tara mawgouda
We albi mahfour fiha
Aiwa mawgouda
We albi mahfour fiha

Selma ya salama
Rohna we geina bel-salama
Selma ya salama
Rohna we Geina bel-salama

English translation

Translation Salma ya Salama

Versions: #1#2

In the big world

And its many countries

I turned around, turned around (the world)

And when my first love called me

I left everything and came back

And i throw myself in his lap

And sang

Salma ya Salama

We went away and got back safely

Salma ya Salama

We went away and got back safely

The love is still pure

And the weather is still warm

And the moon is still here

And after the sunset

we gather in a little boat

And our night will be long

And the fun, the sining too….. together:

Salma ya Salama

We went away and got back safley

Salma ya Salama

We went and got back safley

There is a tree in

A garden with a mark on it

I always thought about it and wondered

If it’s still there and my heart is engraved on it

yes! it’s still there and my heart is engraved on it!
