Ya taiba

Dos alumnas marroquíes estaban trabajando "Saludos y presentaciones". Les pedí que hicieran un póster interactivo con Glogster para presentarse. Entre otras cosas suelo pedir que incluyan una canción que les guste y que, a menudo, se encuentra en Youtube. En este caso eligieron "Ya taiba" (la ciudad sagrada) un "nasheed" o canción religiosa cuya música e interpretación me encantaron.

Ésta es la letra transcrita del árabe y en inglés:

Ya Taiba Ya Taiba Ya Dawal Aiyyaana
Shtiknaa Lak Wilhawana Daana
Wilhawana Daana

Lammasaa Rilmarkabnaa Saani Saaru-ul Dam-ai Maa-Ja-Faani
Aakhazu Kalbi Ma Jinaani
Ya Taiba Yaati Malwal Haana
Yaati Malwal Haana

Ya Taiba Ya Taiba Ya Dawal Aiyyaana
Shtiknaa Lak Wilhawana Daana
Wilhawana Daana

Qiblaati Baitullahi Saabir Al-Laani Yaumal-Laki Zaayeer
Ya Turah Haltaraani Naazir Lilkaaba Tug Murnib Aamaana
Wa Tug Murnib Aamaana

Ya Taiba Ya Taiba Ya Dawal Aiyyaana
Shtiknaa Lak Wilhawana Daana
Wilhawana Daana

Nabina Agla Um-Nniyaati Azur-rak Lov Mar-Rab Hayaati
Wab-Jiwa-Rak Salli Salaati Wazkur Raab-bi-wat-lul Quraa'na

Ya Taiba Ya Taiba Ya Dawal Aiyyaana
Shtiknaa Lak Wilhawana Daana
Wilhawana Daana

Bushraki-il Madina Bushraki Bi-Kudumil-Haadi Ya Bushraki
Fa Haal-Li Maawa Fihi Maaki Ataman-Na Fan-Nooru Sabaana
Nooru-Kum Sabana

Ya Taiba Ya Taiba Ya Dawal Aiyyaana
Shtiknaa Lak Wilhawana Daana
Wilhawana Daana



Translation

Chorus
O Tayba, O Tayba
O cure of the patient
we missed you, and passion has called us to you

As the ship departed, it forgot me
they sailed away and my tears never dried up
they took my heart and my soul with them
O Tayba, you're the distracted's love

Chorus

My direction of prayer (my Qiblah), the house of Allah, I'm patient
perhaps a day will come to visit you
I wonder, Will I be looking upon alkaaba
and being overwhelmed with it's safety..

Chorus

Our prophet, my best wishes, to visit u,
At least once in my life
and near you, to perform my prayers
to praise my Lord, and to recite Qur'an

Chorus

O Madina, How lucky you are
for the coming of the loadstar
May I have a shelter beside you
Indeed, your light has enchanted us
