Emel Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

لو كنت نغمّض عينيّا
و تاخذني الأحلام من يديّا
و نعلى و نحلّق في سماء جديدة
و ننسى الوجايع
لو كنت نسافر في خيالي
نزرع و نبني قصور ليالي
يكبر فيها الحب و آمالي و نمحي الآلام
لو كنت نغمّض عينيّا
و تاخذني الأحلام من يديّا
و نعلى و نحلّق في سماء جديدة
و ننسى الوجايع
لو كنت نسافر في خيالي
نزرع و نبني قصور ليالي
يكبر فيها الحب و آمالي و نمحي الآلام

دنيا ترى فيها ملامح ناس
قوسها الضلم و البؤس و القهر
من واقع عاسر يعبث بكلّ ما نبنيه
دنيا علت فيها أسوار طغيان
سحق فينا أحلاما أحلامْ
و عمّ الظّلام و الأنانيّة في كل القلوب

دنيا ترى فيها ملامح ناس
قوسها الضلم و البؤس و القهر
من واقع عاسر يعبث بكلّ ما نبنيه
دنيا علت فيها أسوار طغيان
سحق فينا أحلاما أحلامْ
و عمّ الظّلام و الأنانيّة في كل القلوب

لو كنت نغمّض عينيّا
و تاخذني الأحلام من يديّا
و نعلى و نحلّق في سماء جديدة
و ننسى الوجايع
لو كنت نسافر في خيالي




نزرع و نبني قصور ليالي
يكبر فيها الحب و آمالي و نمحي الآلام

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Emel's song "Holm" speak of a world full of oppression, darkness and selfishness. The singer longs to escape this world and imagine a new one where there is love, hope and happiness. The imagery in the song creates a vivid and powerful escape for the listener, where they can close their eyes and dream of a better life. The repeated phrase "لو كنت" or "if only" emphasizes the longing for a new world and the desire to forget the pains and troubles of the present.


The world the singer describes in the song is one of extreme inequality and suffering. The "arch" of this world is made up of darkness, oppression, and hardship. The stark contrast between this world and the dream world the singer longs for is emphasized by the repetition of the phrase "دنيا ترى فيها ملامح ناس" or "a world where you see the faces of people". The contrast between the two worlds leaves the listener yearning for escape and a brighter future.


Overall, Emel's "Holm" is a song that captures the desire for escape and hope in a world of darkness and despair. The repeated imagery of flying and soaring to new heights, and the yearning for a world of love and happiness, creates a powerful and hopeful message for the listener.

you find an English translation in the description box .. I have attached it here ''English translation:

If I could close my eyes and the dreams take me by the hand, I would rise and fly in a new sky and I will forget my sorrows.

If I could travel in my imagination, I would build palaces and nights where love and my hopes can grow and we will erase the pain ..

A world in which you see people whose features,
are clouded by oppression, misery and suffering
from a bitter reality that destroys everything we build.

A world where you see rising walls of tyranny that crushes in us dreams and dreams
and reign darkness and greed in all hearts''



@SirNobodyWt

Hello.

A message that I will try to make short, but I wanted to tell you that your interpretation of "holm", made me cry in the middle of lunch.

My 5 year old daughter in front of me asked me "Why are you crying daddy?" I simply replied that I had just heard something as beautiful as she.

So even if I don't understand the language, I wanted to thank you for this sensation that invaded me, for this mixture of melancholy, joy and deep sweetness and for the beauty that you created.

I hope you will read this message, know that you are doing good to the people listening to you.

Thank you.

RÜYA
Ah, kapatabilseydim gözlerimi,
Ah kapatabilseydim de hayallerim tutsaydı ellerimden
Tutup kanatlandırsaydı beni.
Yücelir, yücelir, süzülürdüm gökyüzünde.
Unuturdum acılarımı
Hayalimde seyahat edebilseydim eğer,
Evler kurardım, geceden yana hatıralarla dolu evler
Aşkın ve umudun yeşereceği yerler
Acılarım silinirdi dinerdi birer birer

Ah, şu dünyada insanlar görürsün ah insanlar,
Baskılarla ezilen, sefalet içinde acılarla kıvranan
Her şeyi yok eden acı bir gerçeklikte kahrolan…
Kahrolmuş, yıkılmış permeperişan
Bu dünyada zalimlerin sarayları daha yüksek görünür her şeyden,
Binlerce hayali yıkan, umudu söndüren sarayları zalimliğin
Bu dünyada karanlık ve bencillik kaplar yüreğini herkesin.
Tercüme: Nazif Özaslan



@ozlemyildirim6277

Sozleri cok manidar!
“Rüya" Gözlerimi kapatabilseydim Rüyalar elimden tutup götürürdü
Yükselir, süzülürdüm yeni bir gökyüzünde
Kederlerimi unuturdum.
Hayalimde seyehat edebilseydim
Aşkın ve umutların yeşerdiği, acının dindiği
Saraylar ve geceler yaratırdım.
Yarattığımız her şeyi yok eden
Acımasız gerçeklerin bıraktığı
Zulüm, ızdırap ve çileyle gölgelenmiş
İnsanlar gördüğün bir dünya.
Bizi, düşlerimizi ezen
Tüm yürekleri karanlık ve aç gözlülükle dolduran
Zorbaların yükselen duvarlarını gördüğün bir dünya.



@kamransaleh3712

Ah, bir de gözlerimi kapatabilsem,
Ah bir kapatabilsem hayallerimi, bir tutabilsem ellerimden
Eğer beni yakalayıp kanatlandırırsa
Gökyüzünde yüksek, yüksekte uçardım.
acılarımı unuturdum
Rüyamda seyahat edebilseydim,
Evler inşa ederdim, geceden hatıralarla dolu evler.
Aşkın ve umudun yaşanacağı yerler,
Acılarım birer birer silinecekti.

Ah, bu dünyadaki insanları görüyorsunuz, ah insanlar
Baskı altında eziliyor, sefalet içinde kıvranıyor
Her şeyi yok eden acı bir gerçeklikte gazapla dolu
Öfkeli, harap

Bu dünyada zalimlerin sarayları her şeyden yüksek görünür
Binlerce hayali yıkan, umudu söndüren zulüm sarayları
Bu dünyada karanlık ve ego herkesin kalbini yıkar.

لو كنت نِغمَّض عينيّا
وتاخذني الأحلام من إيديّا
ونِعلى ونحلِّق في سماء جديدة
وننسى الوَجايع ،
لو كنت نِسافر في خيالي
نزرع ونبني قصور ليالي
يكبر فيها الحُب وآمالي ونمحي الآلام ..

دُنيا ترى فيها مَلامح ناس
قوَّسها الظُلم والبؤس والقهر
من واقعٍ عاسرٍ يعبث بكلِّ ما نبنيه ،
دنيا عَلت فيها أسوار طُغيان
سحق فينا أحلاما أحلامْ
وعمَّ الظلام والأنانيّة في كل القلوب.

In 2016 I lost my sister, she passed away next to me
Now I’m smoking and listening to this shit
it is 4:12am
Im not hiding that, I’m really hurting
Though it is Ramadan feast
But i still remember her in the top of my joys
In my loudest laugh I can hear her voice
In every single second of my life
Every where,
Anytime I can see her gorgeous face
But who give a damn about what comes and goes in my mind!!
I don’t understand the meaning
But she already took me to an invisible place.!!
25/5/2020 still missing, loving, waiting you my dear sis.!!

If I ever close my eyes,
and the dreams take me from my hands
and I go high, and fly, in a new sky
and I forget the hurts......
If I ever travel in my imagination
sow and build, castles and nights
in which love will grow up, and my hopes (too)
and erase the hurts...
If I ever close my eyes,
and the dreams take me from my hands
and I go high, and fly, in a new sky
and I forget the hurts......
If I ever travel in my imagination
sow and build, castles and nights
in which love will grow up, and my hopes (too)
and erase the hurts...
A world in which you see features of humans
that became curved from misery, cruelty and coercion
from a reality which is a helper that screws...
all that we build....
A world on which are overriding fences and tyranny
in which we forgot our right of dreaming of dreams
and which was covered by darkness and selfish
in the whole hearts.....
If I ever close my eyes,

Translated by me <3 ;)
Music, lyrics and your voice attracted as much of my concentration and feeling of flying and sailing as i decided to translate the lyrics so that the whole world understands what you say (i'm sorry to be late to discover your masterpiece, big love 🥰🎼🎶☺️😍😘🥰🎼🎶☺️😍😘)

Lyrics in English :

If I could close my eyes and the dreams take me by the hand , I would rise and fly in a new sky and I will forget my sorrows

If I could travel in my imagination , I would build palaces and nights where love and my hopes can grow and we will erase the pain ..

A world in which you see people whose features are clouded by oppression , misery and suffering from a bitter reality that destroys everything we build

A world where you see rising walls of tyranny that crushes in us dreams and dreams and reign darkness amd greed in all hearts

Oh, si je pouvais fermer les yeux
Oh, si je pouvais le fermer et que mes rêves me tiendraient la main
Si seulement il pouvait me tenir et me donner des ailes.
Je serais exalté, exalté, flottant dans le ciel.
j'ai oublié ma peine
Si je pouvais voyager dans mes rêves,
J'avais l'habitude de construire des maisons, des maisons remplies de souvenirs de la nuit
Où fleuriront l'amour et l'espoir
Mes douleurs s'effaceraient, elles s'atténueraient une à une

Ah, vous voyez des gens dans ce monde, oh des gens,
opprimé par l'oppression, se tordant de misère et de douleur
Maudit par une réalité amère qui détruit tout…
Opprimé, dévasté
Dans ce monde, les palais des oppresseurs semblent plus élevés que tout le reste,
Les palais de la cruauté qui détruisent des milliers de rêves et éteignent l'espoir
Dans ce monde, les ténèbres et l'égoïsme occupent le cœur de chacun.

I only know a few words in Arabic, but my heart seems to understand, because tears are running down my face as I listen to this. So very beautiful. Bless you.
