Can anyone correct mistakes to the following transcription and  
translation of  Faudel's lyrics to "Baïda".  Thanks for you help!
 
"Baïda" by Faudel
 
[Chorus]
Baïda, khsarti li hyati  |  Baïda, you ruined my life ah!
Ana gult lik barkani  |  I told you, 'Enough!'
Ma ala baleesh beli tefham  |  I don't know what you think
ban la'abek, ça y est trop tard  |  Your game has been exposed, that's  
it [it's] too late
 
Heeya sbabi wa sbab hayati  |  She's my reason and the reason of my life
Leman nahki durri wa surri ah  |  To whom I relate my joy and pain ah!
Ma a'areft a'alash deek el mahna  |  I don't know why there's this  
suffering
Gulu li a'alash nebghiha  |  Tell me why I love her
 
Chorus
hadert tout fras, neseet el passé  |  I've lose all opportunities,  
forgotten the past
Na'ashaq fi z-zeen men el widan  |  I am in love with beauty, out of my  
senses

Wa raï ee ah ya raï ah  |  Rai! Rai!
Gult lik a khlass, oublie l'histoire  |  I told you to stop, forget  
about it
Neachaq fi zine min el widane |   I am in love with beauty, off the  
deep end
 
Chorus
