Al Riyadh W Al Hilla Lyrics Translation – Waleed Al Shami
The lyricists say a smile in Riyadh makes Al Hilla residents jealous. They write how even the moon desires shadows from this captivating beauty. Waleed Al Shami describes a heart completely possessed by love’s wonder.
Madri Bashar WalahaI know not if he is human or some other wonder
Kawamah Hulaa BisillahHis form and beauty are a blessing from the Divine
Law Btessam Wast Al RiyadhShould he smile in the midst of Riyadh
Ghar Ely Fe Al HillaEven the folk of Al Hilla would turn envious
Min Shafah Ma MellahWhoever sees him never tires of the sight
Dash Galbi WahtalahHe entered my heart and took full possession
Marrah Abar Sharie MashiOnce, while crossing the street on foot
Wahid Aishg ThillahI found myself in love with even his shadow
Sawtah Dawaa Al-IllahHis voice is the medicine for every ailment
Wa-Uslubah Al-FillahAnd his style is a source of pure delight
Min Jamalik Hatta Al-GamarBecause of your beauty, even the moon itself
Mink Yabi TillahSeeks to catch a glimpse of you
Ihsasi Wasil LahMy feelings have reached him at last
Shad Galbi Wa TillahHe pulled my heart and took it with him
Kalimuh La At’ab Ma’ahTalk to him; I could never grow weary of him
Ya’shagni Ahsan LahIt would be best for him to love me in return
