بعتبر حالي محظوظة إني ساكنة بمدينة فيها كتير جبال وطلال I consider|myself|lucky|that I|living|in a city|in it|many|mountains|hills I consider myself lucky to live in a city with many mountains and hills.

بقدر أهرب لها وأحس حالي أكبر وأطول I can|escape|to it|and I feel|myself|bigger|and taller I can escape there and feel bigger and taller.

كاشفة على وديان وقمم تانية وكل شي بيناتهم overlooking|on|valleys|and peaks|other|and all|thing|between them Overlooking valleys and other peaks, and everything in between.

موسيقى music Music.

وكتير صعب أتخيل المدينة and very|difficult|I imagine|the city It's very hard to imagine the city

اللي أصلاً فيها نقص بالمساحات العامة والمساحات الغير مبنية that|originally|it has|lack|in the spaces|public|and the spaces|non|built that already has a shortage of public spaces and unbuilt areas

من دون هالتعرجات والجبال without|without|these curves|and the mountains without these curves and mountains.

يعني لو عمان بلا جبال I mean|if|Amman|without|mountains I mean, if Amman were without mountains.

على الأغلب رح تكون مقاعب إسمنت كبير on|most likely|I will|you will be|obstacles|cement|big Most likely, there will be large concrete barriers.

صعب التنفس فيه difficult|breathing|in it It's hard to breathe in it.

المطلات موضوع حلقتنا لليوم the overlooks|topic|our episode|for today The viewpoints are the topic of our episode today.

شكلت كتير من تجربة المدينة it formed|a lot|from|experience|the city They have shaped a lot of the city's experience.

في السابق على زمة الراوي in|the past|on|the account of|the narrator In the past, according to the narrator

كانوا أهل عمان اللي معهم مصاري يسكنوا على القمم they were|people of|Oman|those who|with them|money|they lived|on|the peaks The people of Oman who had money lived on the peaks

فعلياً بيتهم يكون المطل actually|their house|it is|the view Their house would actually be the overlook

وشوي شوي مع إمران الجبال and slowly|a little|with|the actions of|the mountains And gradually with the mountains' growth

صاروا الشباب وأهل المدينة يدوروا على فتحات بين البيوت they became|the youth|and the people|the city|they search|for|openings|between|the houses The youth and the townspeople started looking for openings between the houses.

يقعدوا فيها على الجبل they sit|in them|on|the mountain They would sit there on the mountain.

أو يصفوا سياراتهم ويتفرجوا على المنظر or|they park|their cars|and they watch|at|the view Or they would park their cars and enjoy the view.

يستمتعوا فيه they enjoy|in it They would enjoy it.

يتونسوا بصباحاتهم وبصهراتهم they enjoy|their mornings|and their evenings They enjoy their mornings and their evenings.

لكن اليوم ومع كل عمارة عم تطلع but|today|with|every|building|present continuous marker|is rising But today, with every building that goes up,

الإمران عم بتوغل أكتر the two men|present continuous marker|is penetrating|more the urbanization is penetrating more.

والمساحات الفاضية عم تختفي and the spaces|empty|present continuous marker|is disappearing And the empty spaces are disappearing.

ومع كل مبنى جديد بغطي جرف المدينة and with|every|building|new|I cover|edge|city And with every new building, the city's edge is covered.

وبيحتكر هالفضاء العام and I monopolize|this space|public And this public space is monopolized.

بيموت جزء صغير من تجربتي it dies|part|small|of|my experience A small part of my experience dies.

وتجربتي كتير ناس مع المدينة and my experience|many|people|with|city And my experience is many people's with the city.

لحتى نحكي عن هالتجربة بوضوح أكبر in order to|we talk|about|this experience|clearly|more So that we can talk about this experience more clearly.

قررنا نسمع من شربل عن علاقته بالمطلات we decided|to listen|from|Charbel|about|his relationship|with the viewpoints We decided to hear from Charbel about his relationship with the viewpoints.

اللي بيحب يرتادها وبيستمتع بقعدتها بمدينة which|he loves|to visit them|and enjoys|sitting there|in the city Which he loves to visit and enjoys sitting at in the city.

عم بديق فينا شوي شوي currently|I am bothering|us|a little|a little It is slowly bothering us.

شربل على عكس تجربتي الشخصية للمطلات Sharbel|on|contrary to|my experience|personal|with viewpoints Sharbel, unlike my personal experience with viewpoints.

بيحب المطلات اللي خارج حدود تنظيم المدينة he loves|viewpoints|that|outside|boundaries|organization|city He loves viewpoints that are outside the city's organized boundaries.

ولما حكيت معه شفت قديش فيه اختلاف and when|I talked|with him|I saw|how much|there is|difference And when I talked to him, I saw how much difference there is.

بين تجربته لهالمساحة وتجربتي between|his experience|with this space|and my experience Between his experience of this space and my experience.

الأمر اللي كشف لي تعددية في طرق استغلال المكان the matter|that|revealed|to me|multiplicity|in|ways|exploitation|the place The thing that revealed to me the multiplicity of ways to exploit the space.

أما الأشخاص اللي بنمطوا مرتدي المطلات as for|the people|that|they pattern|wearing|the viewpoints As for the people who frequent the viewpoints.

مش شايفين كل التداخلات اللي رح نسمعها بحلقة اليوم not|seeing|all|the overlaps|that|will|we will hear|in the episode|today They are not seeing all the interactions that we will hear in today's episode.

بتذكر أول مرة رحت على مطل أبسوس I remember|first|time|I went|to|viewpoint|Absus I remember the first time I went to the Absus viewpoint.

كانت صدفة كنت مع صحابي في المدرسة it was|coincidence|I was|with|my friends|in|school It was a coincidence that I was with my friends at school.

وكانوا بيحكوا أنه يلا خلنا ننزل على المطل على أبسوس and they were|they were saying|that|let's|let us|we go down|to|overlook|to|Absus They were saying, 'Come on, let's go down to the overlook at Absus.'

فنزلت هنا كانت دنيا ليل so I went down|here|it was|world|night So I went down here, it was nighttime.

ونزلنا وقفنا هناك فأنا بستغرب أنه and we went down|we stopped|there|so I|I am surprised|that We went down and stopped there, and I was surprised that...

بالمطل شفت البحر ميت at the overlook|I saw|the sea|dead From the overlook, I saw the Dead Sea.

أنه واضح كير كان that|clear|very|it was It was very clear.

مع أنه كانت دنيا ليل بس كان إنه نعكاس with|that|it was|world|night|but|it was|that|reflection Although it was nighttime, there was a reflection.

البحر ميت واضح the sea|dead|clear The Dead Sea was clear.

فضل المكان براسي preferred|the place|in my head I preferred the place in my head.

فالسنة هاي هيكة وأنا بسوق this year|this|like this|and I|I am driving This year is like this, and I'm shopping.

نزلت من عند أبسوس I got off|from|at|Absoos I got down from Absus.

وبس وأنا بلفلف فجأة لقيت and just|I|I am wandering|suddenly|I found And while I was wandering, suddenly I found.

نفس المطل هذا وتذكرت هذا الموقف same|view|this|and I remembered|this|situation This is the same viewpoint, and I remembered this situation.

اللي صار معي أنا وصحابي رحنا عليه بالليل that|happened|with me|I|and my friends|we went|to it|at night What happened to me and my friends, we went there at night.

برضه بسميه مطل أبوديس also|I call it|view|Abu Dis I also call it the viewpoint of Abu Dis.

لأنه قريب كثير عن فلسطين because|close|very|to|Palestine Because it is very close to Palestine.

بقدر تشوف منه البحر ميت I can|you see|from it|the sea|dead You can see the Dead Sea from it.

فالمطل ما إله حدود so the view|not|it has|limits The viewpoint has no limits.

وبالعادة أغلب الأماكن اللي إحنا عنا موجودة في عمان and usually|most|places|that|we|we have|located|in|Amman Usually, most of the places we have are located in Amman.

إله حدود يعني it has|limits|means It has limits, I mean.

الحديقة البيت عندك إله حدود the garden|the house|at your place|has|limits The garden at your house has boundaries.

بيتك إله حدود your house|has|limits Your house has boundaries.

غرفتك إله حدود your room|has|limits Your room has boundaries.

كل مكان فيه حدود every|place|in it|limits Every place has boundaries.

فالمطلات بشكل عام ما إله حدود so the overlooks|in general|general|not|it has|limits Views in general have no limits.

وهذا أكتر إشي بخليني أتعلق في المطل أكتر يعني and this|more|thing|makes me|I get attached|in|the overlook|more|I mean And this is the main thing that makes me cling to the view more.

لأنه دايماً الحدود عندي مشكلة في حياتي أصلاً because|always|limits|I have|problem|in|my life|originally Because limits have always been a problem in my life.

واجهت هاي أكتر إشي وقت كورونا I faced|this|more|thing|during|Corona I faced this the most during Corona.

لأنه كان كل إشي مسكر because|it was|every|thing|closed Because everything was closed.

وكان في عندي أكتر من فرصة أطلع برا and it was|there was|I had|more|than|opportunity|I go out|outside And I had more than one opportunity to go outside.

بعدها فهمت أنه لا إش راح أقدر أطلع أي مكان after that|I understood|that|not|anything|I will|I can|I go out|any|place Then I understood that I wouldn't be able to go anywhere.

عشان كانت كل بلد مسكرة because|it was|every|country|closed Because every country was closed.

ففكرة دايماً أنه مكان ما فيه حدود so the idea|always|that|place|not|there is|borders The idea is always that it's a place with no boundaries.

إذا كان فيه فرصة أنه أطلع برا السيارة if|was|there is|opportunity|that|I go out|outside|the car If there's a chance to get out of the car.

ويكون ممتاز and it is|excellent It would be great.

وأحلى إشي في مطل أبو السوس and the best|thing|in|viewpoint|Abu|Al-Sous And the best thing is the view from Abu Al-Sous.

إنه فيه زي محلات صغيرة بتساعد على it|in it|like|shops|small|they help|to It has small shops that help with

إنه بحطوا فيه كراسة وقعدة it|they put|in it|notebook|and sitting They put a notebook and a seat in it

فتنزل من السيارة وبتقعدي على كرسي so you get out|from|the car|and you sit|on|chair So you get out of the car and sit on a chair

وببيعوا شاي وأهوة وهي الأمور and they sell|tea|and coffee|and these|things And they sell tea and coffee and such things

شربل بحب يطلع برا سيارته Sharbel|he loves|he goes out|outside|his car Charbel loves to get out of his car.

ويقعد بالهواء الطلق and he sits|in the air|open And sit in the open air.

بيستمتع بالمساحة وكبرها he enjoys|the space|and its size He enjoys the space and its vastness.

بيعبر الجغرافيا اللي قدامه بنظره he crosses|the geography|that|in front of him|with his gaze He expresses the geography in front of him with his gaze.

ولو مش بجسمه even if|not|in his body Even if not in his body.

شعور بالبعد والقرب بنفس الوقت feeling|of distance|and closeness|at the same|time A feeling of distance and closeness at the same time.

قرب عشان فلسطين فعلياً قدامه close|because of|Palestine|actually|in front of him Closeness because Palestine is actually in front of him.

وقادر يميز ملامح الأرض والمدن اللي فيها بوضوح and able|to distinguish|features|land|and cities|that|in them|clearly And he can clearly distinguish the features of the land and the cities within it.

والبعد عشان الطريق لهناك and the distance|because|the road|to there And the distance because the road is there

إن لم تكن مستحيلة if|not|you were|impossible If it is not impossible

فهي طريق صعبة جداً then it is|road|difficult|very Then it is a very difficult road

لو شوما معاك وراء if|I go|with you|behind If you have someone with you behind

وأنا بسمع من بداية المقابلة and I|I hear|from|the beginning|the interview And I am listening from the beginning of the interview.

بلشت تهمة الحدود وتعقيداتها I started|the charge|borders|and its complications The issue of borders and its complexities started to emerge.

تبرز بكلام شربل it stands out|in the words|Sherbel It is highlighted in Charbel's words.

المطلصر يعني له المكان اللامحدود the unlimited|it means|for him|the place|unlimited The term means the unlimited place.

المحل اللي بيطلع فيه برا حدود المدينة the place|that|he goes out|in it|outside|borders|the city The place that is outside the city limits

والاختراب والبيت وجوازات السفر and the exile|and the house|and passports|travel and the passport and the house

يعني باختصار المهرب اللي بيلجأ له it means|in short|the smuggler|that|he resorts|to him In short, the smuggler that he resorts to

لما كل حدود الدنيا توقف بوجهه when|all|borders|the world|they stop|in front of him when all the borders of the world stand against him

بالأخص وقت ما نصب كورونا especially|when|not|I got infected|COVID-19 Especially when the Corona virus hit.

كان في فكرة أنه أنا ما بقدر أطلع من بيتي there was|in|idea|that|I|not|I can|I go out|from|my house There was a thought that I couldn't leave my house.

كان كل عيالتي مصابين في كورونا there was|all|my family|infected|with|COVID-19 All my family members were infected with Corona.

ما كان حدا حاجر حالي في الغرفة not|there was|anyone|I quarantined|myself|in|the room No one was quarantining me in the room.

فكنت حاجر حالي في البيت so I was|blocking|my situation|in|the house I was just staying at home.

فكان أطلع بسيارتي so he was|I go out|in my car I would go out in my car.

وبس أطلع أعمل درايف بسيارتي and just|I go out|I do|drive|in my car And as soon as I go out, I would drive my car.

بدون ما أفتح الشباك without|that|I open|the window Without opening the window.

بدون ما أحكي مع حدا without|not|I talk|with|anyone Without talking to anyone

بس لأنه خلاص بدي أطلع من المساحة but|because|finally|I want|I get out|from|space Just because I want to get out of the space

اللي أنا فيها هلأ اللي مجبر أنا أقعد فيها that|I|in it|now|that|I am forced|I|I sit|in it that I am in now, which I am forced to stay in

فقال الحدود شخصياً هيك تزعجني he said|borders|personally|this way|it bothers me So, personally, the boundaries annoy me like this.

فالمطل هو أكثر مكان بقدر أهرب منه من هاي الفكرة the overlook|it is|more|place|I can|I escape|from it|from|this|idea The viewpoint is the most place I can escape from this idea.

ممكن سطح بيتنا يكون مطل possible|roof|our house|it is|overlook Our roof could be a viewpoint.

هاي أحد الأشياء this|one of|things This is one of the things.

هي فكرة رئيسية ممكن أنا بالنسبة لي للمطل it is|idea|main|possible|I|regarding|to me|for the overlook It's a main idea for me regarding the viewpoint.

إنه ما يكون المكان حدود it is|not|it becomes|the place|borders It is what the place has no boundaries.

الشربل بيروح عالمطلات لأنها بلا حدود the drink|he goes|to the overlooks|because they are|without|borders The drinker goes to the viewpoints because they are without limits.

مع أنه المناطق المطلة هي اللي رسمت حدود اليوم وامبارح with|that|the areas|overlooking|they are|that|drew|borders|today|and yesterday Although the overlooking areas are what drew the boundaries today and yesterday.

وسقطت ممالك وطلعت الجيوش وغزوات منها and kingdoms fell|kingdoms|and armies rose|armies|and invasions|from them And kingdoms fell, and armies and invasions emerged from them.

المطلات مناطق استراتيجية overlooks|areas|strategic Overlooking areas are strategic.

يعني اللي بده يكشف بيروح لفوق means|that|wants to|to uncover|he goes|up It means that whoever wants to reveal goes up.

اللي بده يضرب بيروح لفوق that|wants to|to hit|he goes|up Whoever wants to strike goes up.

المناطق المطلة انبنت عليها القلع areas|overlooking|were built|on them|castles The overlooking areas were built on the fortifications.

واستعملت قممها لتوصيل الرسائل بالدخان والنار and I used|its peaks|to convey|messages|with smoke|and fire And its peaks were used to send messages with smoke and fire.

مثلاً يقال إنه مثل أشهر من نار على علم for example|it is said|that he|like|more famous|than|fire|on|knowledge For example, it is said that it is as famous as fire on knowledge.

إجا من النار اللي كانت تضوي قمم الجبال he came|from|fire|that|was|shining|peaks|mountains It came from the fire that illuminated the peaks of the mountains.

اللي اسمها العلم that|its name|knowledge Which is called the flag.

للناس تستدل فيها وماتتوه بعتمة الليل for people|to guide|in it|and they don't get lost|in the darkness|night For people to find guidance in it and not get lost in the darkness of the night.

حتى في أيامنا المعاصرة even|in|our days|contemporary Even in our contemporary days.

المنطقة المطلة هي موقع القوة في ميدان الحرب the area|overlooking|it is|location|power|in|field|war The overlooking area is the site of power in the battlefield.

مثلاً for example For example.

الاحتلال الإسرائيلي باختار الجبال كمواقع لبؤراته الاستيطانية the occupation|Israeli|chose|the mountains|as sites|for its|settlements The Israeli occupation chose the mountains as sites for its settlement outposts.

عشان اللي فوق عالجبل بيتحكم because|those who|above|on the mountain|controls Because those on the mountain control.

بيتحكم باللي جايه واللي رايحه بشو بينزل لتحت ومين بيصير يطلع لفوق he controls|with what|coming|and what|going|with what|he goes down|down|and who|he becomes|he goes up|up They control what comes and goes, what descends down and who gets to ascend.

الاستعمال التاريخي لهذا التضاريس the use|historical|of this|terrain The historical use of this terrain.

هو اللي شربل بقول عنه استخدام المطل كما كان he|the one who|Shrebel|I say|about him|using|the limit|as|it was He is the one I am talking about using the maximum as it was.

أي that is That is.

الاستمتاع بواحدة من أهم ميزاته enjoying|with one|of|most important|features Enjoying one of its most important features.

المدى البصري range|visual The visual range.

الأكتر مكان بحب أروح فيه المطلات هو المغربيات the most|place|I love|I go|to it|viewpoints|it is|Moroccan The place I love to go to the most for viewpoints is the Moroccan viewpoints.

قبل الغروب before|sunset Before sunset.

بالأخص المطل أبسوس لأنه المغرب فيه بتكون حلوة especially|viewpoint|Absoos|because|sunset|in it|it is|beautiful Especially the Absoos viewpoint because the sunset there is beautiful.

جربت أروح الصبح كان مختلف كير المطل الصبح I tried|I go|in the morning|it was|different|very|viewpoint|in the morning I tried going in the morning, it was very different from the viewpoint in the morning.

بس أنا شخصياً مش كير بحب أروح مطلات بالليل but|I|personally|not|very|I like|I go|viewpoints|at night But personally, I don't really like going to viewpoints at night.

بس لأنه بالمطل بالليل شوي بكون عبارة عن ضواء وما بتشوفي هيك أماكن كثير but|because|at the viewpoint|at night|a bit|I am|it is|about|light|and not|you see|such|places|many But because at the viewpoint at night, it's a bit just lights and you don't see many places like that.

فبحس المغربيات بحب أروح فيها على المطلات so I feel|Moroccans|I like|I go|in them|to|viewpoints So I feel that Moroccans like to go to viewpoints.

أغنية كير بتذكرها أو هيك كير بتذكرني في المنظر يعني song|very|I remember it|or|like that|very|it reminds me|of|the view|I mean A song that I remember or something like that reminds me of the view.

أكتر طريقة أنا بقدر أوصف فيها المنظر وقت الغروب the most|way|I|can|describe|in it|view|time|sunset The best way I can describe the view at sunset

من المطل اللي هي أغنية شيخ إمام إذا الشمس غرقت from|the view|that|it|song|Sheikh|Imam|if|the sun|sank is from the viewpoint of the song by Sheikh Imam, 'If the Sun Drowned'.

اللي كتبها أحمد فؤاد نجم that|he wrote it|Ahmed|Fuad|Najm It was written by Ahmed Fouad Negm.

لأنه فعلياً يعني إذا بتضلك تسمعيها وإنتي في لحظة الغروب because|actually|I mean|if|you keep|listening to it|and you|in|moment|sunset Because, in reality, if you keep listening to it while you are at sunset.

يعني بتقدر تشوف الأغنية وكلمات الأغنية موجودة في كل مكان it means|you can|see|the song|and the lyrics|the song|are available|in|every|place It means you can see the song and the lyrics are everywhere.

تتعرض دنيا موجد صدام she is exposed|Dunya|present|confrontation The world is exposed to conflict.

إذا الشمس غرقت في بحر الغمام if|the sun|sank|in|sea|clouds If the sun sinks into the sea of clouds.

هي فكرة أنك انتي واقفة على طرف جبل it is|idea|that you|you|standing|on|edge|mountain It's the idea that you are standing on the edge of a mountain.

ومثلاً ممكن تفكر أحياناً أنه آه ليش هاي الجبل موجودة for example|it is possible|you think|sometimes|that|oh|why|this|mountain|exists And for example, you might sometimes think, 'Oh, why is this mountain here?'

فهذا فيه شوية روحانية في المطلات يعني بعدتها so this|it has|a little|spirituality|in|viewpoints|meaning|I added it There is a bit of spirituality in the viewpoints, I mean, after all.

مفيش لك دليل غير عيوني الكلام there is not|for you|evidence|except|my eyes|the words You have no proof other than the words of my eyes.

إذا الشمس غرقت في بحر الغمام if|the sun|sank|in|sea|clouds If the sun sank into the sea of clouds.

من الإختلافات اللي شفتها بين تجربتي الشخصية للمطلات وتجربة شربل from|the differences|that|I saw|between|my experience|personal|with the viewpoints|and the experience|of Sharbel One of the differences I noticed between my personal experience with viewpoints and Charbel's experience.

هي شو بتعني لنا وشو منعمل فيها it|what|it means|to us|and what|we do|in it Is what it means to us and what we do with it.

أنا كنت أروح على بعض المطلات جوال مدينة وأختار الليل مثلاً I|I was|I go|to|some|viewpoints|around|the city|and I choose|the night|for example I used to go to some viewpoints around the city and choose the night, for example.

كنوع من الاختفاء من عجئة المدينة ومساحاتها المضوية as a kind|of|hiding|from|the hustle|the city|and its spaces|lit up As a way to escape the hustle and bustle of the city and its illuminated spaces.

نتفرج على ضواو من بعيد وبالعادة مع أصدقاء ومع موسيقى وأكل وحركة we watch|at|lights|from|far|and usually|with|friends|with|music|food|and movement We watch the fireworks from afar, usually with friends, music, food, and movement.

أما لشربل فهي أقرب لتجربة روحانية بيروح لإلهة لتصفية ذهنه as for|for Sharbel|it is|closer|to an experience|spiritual|he goes|to a goddess|to clear|his mind As for Sharbel, it is closer to a spiritual experience; he goes to the deity to clear his mind.

والشعور بالثبات بدل الحركة and the feeling|of stability|instead of|movement And to feel stability instead of movement.

مكان من التأمل والحرية a place|of|meditation|and freedom A place of meditation and freedom.

صراحة أنا من النوع الكثير ما عندي مشكلة يكون معي حدا honestly|I|from|type|a lot|not|I have|problem|to be|with me|someone Honestly, I am the type who doesn't have a problem being with someone.

وما عندي مشكلة أكون لحالي وما عندي مشكلة يكون and not|I have|problem|to be|alone|and not|I have|problem|to be And I don't have a problem being alone, and I don't have a problem with that.

ما عندي مشكلة أتعرف على ناس قاعدين جنبية not|I have|problem|I get to know|on|people|sitting|next to me I don't have a problem getting to know people sitting next to me.

أخذت أبوي أمي برضو على المطلات I took|my dad|my mom|also|to|viewpoints I also took my dad and mom to the viewpoints.

كانت قصة كثير بتضحك it was|story|very|funny The story was very funny.

المطل كان بالعادة هادي view|it was|usually|calm The place was usually calm.

ما فيه أي نوع من المشاكل not|there is|any|type|of|problems There were no problems at all.

رحت 15 مرة قبل ما أخذ ماما I went|times|before|that|I took|mom I went 15 times before I took Mom.

فبس أخذت ماما في اليوم اللي أخذت ماما so just|I took|mom|in|the day|that|I took|mom So Mom took me on the day that Mom took me.

ماما حدا كثير بتخاف mom|someone|very|she is afraid Mom is someone who gets scared a lot.

هي أصلاً بالنسبة إليها مطل أبو سوس كثير بعيد she|originally|regarding|to her|viewpoint|father of|Suss|very|far For her, the viewpoint is actually very far.

رحنا قعدنا في المطل وفجأة صارت فيه مشكلة جنبينا we went|we sat|in|viewpoint|and suddenly|it happened|there was|problem|next to us We sat at the viewpoint and suddenly there was a problem next to us.

كان فيه شباب بعيد عننا شوي there was|there was|young people|far|from us|a little There were some young people a bit far from us.

بس يعني هيك ضرب الأشي الحلو في المطل الهدوء هيك but|I mean|like this|hit|the thing|nice|in|view|the calm|like this But I mean, it was nice to hit the beautiful thing in the view, the calmness like that.

كان فيه ناس صاروا يرموا بعض من المطل there was|there was|people|they started|to throw|each other|from|view There were people who started throwing things at each other from the view.

كان شيء بخوف بالنسبة لماما it was|something|scary|for|to mom It was something scary for my mom.

بس بالنهاية استمتعت but|in the end|I enjoyed But in the end, I enjoyed it.

ولكن كان مضحك كيف أنه بس اقررت أخذ أمي وكدامي but|it was|funny|how|that|just|I decided|to take|my mom|and in front of me But it was funny how I just decided to take my mom with me.

وحكي لهم المطل حلو والمطل آمن and I told|them|the view|beautiful|and the view|safe And I told them that the outcome is good and the outcome is safe.

ما فيه شي قرروا يصير فيه مشكلة not|there is|anything|they decided|to happen|in it|problem There is nothing that decided to cause a problem.

المرة التانية أخذت بابا عليها the time|second|I took|dad|on her The second time I took my dad with me.

حاولت كثير أقنعه أنه يجي معي على المطل I tried|a lot|to convince him|that|he comes|with me|to|the viewpoint I tried a lot to convince him to come with me to the viewpoint.

أو نروح نقعد في مكان or|we go|we sit|in|place Or we could go sit somewhere.

بابا من النوع اللي بأرقل dad|from|the type|that|I annoy My dad is the type who likes to relax.

وصدفة كان فيه عنده شغل في أبو سوس and by chance|he was|there was|he had|work|in|Abu|Suss And by coincidence, he had work in Abu Suss.

وبحكي له أنه خلاص ياني اليوم الجمعة خلنا نضلنا ماشيين and I tell|him|that|enough|for me|today|Friday|let us|we stay|walking And I told him that it's Friday, let's keep going.

وكنت أنا بسوق فيه السيارة وضلنا ماشيين لتحت and I was|I|driving|it|the car|and we stayed|walking|down I was driving the car and we kept going down.

وآخر شي نزلنا وهو يعني كيف عقصة and finally|thing|we got off|and he|I mean|how|he got stuck And in the end, we got off, and he was like, how did it happen?

يعني حاولت أغريب الأرقيلة I mean|I tried|to get|the hookah I mean, I tried to get the hookah.

أنه تعال بشتري لك أرقيلة أو بنعملك أرقيلة هناك that|come|I will buy|for you|hookah|or|we will make you|hookah|there I said, come, I'll buy you a hookah or we'll make you one there.

لأن الكوشكات هناك برضو بيعمل أرقيل because|the kiosks|there|also|they make|hookahs Because the kiosks there also make hookahs.

فبابا أول ما أعاد على المطل تأثر شوي so my dad|first|when|he replied|to|the request|he was affected|a little So, as soon as Dad responded to the request, he was a bit affected.

لأنه إحنا من قرية أبو ديس because|we|from|village|Abu|Dis Because we are from the village of Abu Dis.

وأبو ديس تعرفي قريبة عن أريحة كثير and Abu|Dis|you know|close|to|Jericho|very And Abu Dis, you know, is very close to Jericho.

فهو كان بيحكي إنه أديش أبو ديس قريبة هيك so he|he was|he says|that|how much|Abu|Dis|close|like this So he was saying how close Abu Dis is.

وشوي دمعة يعني هم النوع اللي شوي حساس بهاي الأمور and a little|tear|means|they|type|that|a little|sensitive|in these|matters And a little tear, I mean, he is the type who is a bit sensitive about these matters.

وكنت بتفهم صراحة هذا الاشي and I was|you understand|honestly|this|thing And I honestly understood this thing.

عشان هيك هذا المطل برضو بالنسبة لي because|like this|this|the view|also|regarding|to me That's why this viewpoint is also important to me.

تحديدا مطل أبو سوس هيك يعني لي كثير specifically|view|father of|Suss|like this|it means|to me|a lot Specifically, the viewpoint of Abu Sous means a lot to me.

وكان وقتنا حلو أنا وأبوي يعني أرقلنا and it was|our time|nice|I|and my father|it means|we enjoyed And our time was nice, my father and I, I mean we enjoyed it.

أنا بأرقلش بس يمكن بدخن بس يعني أرقلت معاه I|I am smoking|but|maybe|I smoke|but|I mean|I smoked|with him I smoke shisha, but maybe I just smoke, I mean I shisha with him.

عشان نتقاسم الضرر بتاع الأرقيلة so that|we share|the harm|of|the hookah So we can share the damage of the shisha.

وقاعد يعني كانت تجربة لطيفة إنك تأخذ أهلك على المطل برضو and sitting|I mean|it was|experience|nice|that you|you take|your family|to|the overlook|also And sitting there, it was a nice experience to take your family to the viewpoint as well.

لأنه الآخرة مطل أنا بالنسبة لي يعني مكان because|the last|overlook|I|regarding|to me|I mean|place Because the viewpoint is, for me, a place.

مش خاص فيه أو خاص فيه not|special|to him|or|special|to him Not specifically for him or specifically for him.

لدرجة إني بقدر أشاركم مع كثير ناس to the extent|that I|I can|I share with you|with|many|people To the extent that I can share it with many people.

برضو نفس الوقت خاص فيه لدرجة إني مش دايما بحب also|same|time|special|to him|to the extent|that I|not|always|I like Also, at the same time, it's specifically for him to the extent that I don't always like.

يعني فيه بعض الناس بتخيل بحياتي مستحيل أخذهم معي على المطل means|there are|some|people|I imagine|in my life|impossible|I take them|with me|to|the view I mean, there are some people I imagine in my life that I would never take with me to the view.

يعني ليش؟ لأنه خلص هيك طبيعتهم أو الجو الممكن نعمل means|why|because|just|like this|their nature|or|the atmosphere|possible|we can do I mean why? Because that's just their nature or the atmosphere we can create.

وإحنا في المطل أو الأعداء ممكن ما تكون رايقة بوجودهم and we|in|the overlook|or|the enemies|might|not|you are|comfortable|with their presence And we might not be comfortable with the presence of enemies in the lookout.

إلى جانب أهله مين بيروح مع شربل على المطل؟ to|side|his family|who|he goes|with|Charbel|to|the overlook Who goes with Charbel to the lookout besides his family?

سألته عن السياق الاجتماعي اللي بفضله للمطلات I asked him|about|context|social|that|I prefer|for overlooks I asked him about the social context he prefers for lookouts.

خصوصا إنه شدد على فكرة الأعداء الرايقة especially|that|he emphasized|on|idea|enemies|relaxed Especially since he emphasized the idea of the relaxed enemies.

يعني هل بيروح هناك وحيد ليختلب الطبيعة والمنظر؟ I mean|whether|he goes|there|alone|to enjoy|nature|and the view I mean, is he going there alone to enjoy nature and the view?

حيانا برضو حلو تكون لحالك في المطل sometimes|also|nice|you are|alone|in|the viewpoint Sometimes it's nice to be alone at the overlook.

في قصة بتضحك كثير إنه وقت حضرة الجمعة أول أول in|story|it makes you laugh|a lot|that|time|presence|Friday|first|first There's a story that's very funny that during the Friday sermon, at the very beginning.

أنا معي تصريح إعلام في وقت حضرة الجمعة وكنت بحكي إنه ممكن أروح على المطل I|I have|permit|media|in|time|presence|Friday|and I was|I was saying|that|possible|I go|to|the lookout I have a media permit during Friday prayers and I was saying that I might go to the overlook.

والمطل يكون فاضي ما فيه حدا and the lookout|it is|empty|not|there is|anyone And the overlook could be empty, with no one there.

فروحت على المطل وبتذكر إنه انصدمت so I went|to|the lookout|and I remember|that|I was shocked So I went to the overlook and I remember being shocked.

كان المطل كان مكتظ أكثر من الأيام العادية it was|the lookout|it was|crowded|more|than|days|regular The overlook was more crowded than on regular days.

وكان فيه ناس أكثر من أي وقت and was|there|people|more|than|any|time There were more people there than at any other time.

ووقتها حسيت إنه يمكن فرصة أجرب أروح على المطل لحالي and at that time|I felt|that|maybe|opportunity|I try|I go|to|viewpoint|alone At that time, I felt like it might be a chance to try going to the viewpoint by myself.

وكنت وقتها لحالي يعني بس كان فيه ناس حوالي and I was|at that time|alone|I mean|but|there was|there|people|around I was alone at that time, but there were people around.

أنه خلاص تختلي مع نفسك يعني that|finally|you isolate|with|yourself|I mean It was like finally being alone with yourself.

بكون فيه هيك عدة أمور بدك تفكر فيها I will be|there is|like this|several|matters|you want|to think|about them There are several things you need to think about.

ممكن تساعدك وجودك في ذاك المكان اللي حالك عادي تفكير فيها it is possible|it helps you|your presence|in|that|place|that|your state|normal|thinking|about it Being in that place might help you think about them normally.

وممكن برضو ما يساعدك and it is possible|also|not|it helps you And it might also not help you.

ممكن بس أنت خلاص عم تعطي وقت لنفسك it is possible|but|you|already|am|you are giving|time|to yourself Maybe you are just giving yourself time.

وعم تعطي وقت إنك تستمتع مع نفسك and I am|you give|time|that you|you enjoy|with|yourself And it gives you time to enjoy yourself.

يعني مثلا صاحب الأهوة اللي بروح عليها في المطل I mean|for example|owner|coffee shop|that|I go|to it|in|the view For example, the coffee shop owner that I go to at the lookout.

إنه ما بعرف اسمه ولا أنا بعرف اسمه that|not|I know|his name|nor|I|I know|his name I don't know his name, nor do I know his name.

بس إحنا خلاص إنه آه كيفك صار لك زمان وجاي عنا but|we|that's it|that|yes|how are you|it has been|for you|a long time|and coming|to us But we just say, 'Oh, how are you? It's been a while since you've been here.'

آه والله كنت مشغول وهاي الأمور يعني oh|by God|I was|busy|and these|matters|I mean Oh, I swear I was busy and these things, you know.

ففرضه فيه نوع من الاشي لطيف so his obligation|in it|kind|of|the thing|nice So, it has a kind of nice thing.

إنه أنت بتكون في مطل وما حدا يعني ما حدا بعرفك that|you|you are|in|a divorce|and not|anyone|I mean|not|anyone|knows you That you are in a divorce and no one, I mean, no one knows you.

ولا أنت بتعرفي حدا هناك nor|you|you know|anyone|there And you don't know anyone there.

فكرة إنه شربل بيحب يروح لحاله مرات على المطل the idea|that|Sharbel|he likes|to go|alone|sometimes|to|the viewpoint The idea that Charbel likes to go alone sometimes to the viewpoint

لفتت انتباهي غير السرحان والنظر المطول بالأفق it caught|my attention|other than|daydreaming|and looking|prolonged|at the horizon caught my attention besides the daydreaming and the long gaze into the horizon

شو ممكن الواحد يعمل لحاله what|possible|one|to do|alone What can one do alone?

يعني أنا بتذكر دايماً كنت أروح على المطلات مع أصدقائي I mean|I|I remember|always|I was|to go|to|viewpoints|with|my friends I mean, I always remember I used to go to the viewpoints with my friends.

أجيب سندويشة كايك فيها بيض وجبنة وأطلع I bring|sandwich|cake|in it|eggs|and cheese|and I go out I get a sandwich with eggs and cheese and go out.

نأكل ونحكي ونمشي ونحط أغاني على راديو السيارة we eat|and we talk|and we walk|and we put|songs|on|radio|car We eat, talk, walk, and play songs on the car radio.

أما شربل معلشته للمساحة مختلفة تماماً but|Sharbel|his meal|for the area|different|completely But Sharbel's space is completely different.

وطبيعة النشطات مختلفة وأروع and the nature|of the activities|different|and more wonderful And the nature of the activities is different and more wonderful.

شهر 11 برضو تبنيت كلبة month|also|I adopted|dog In November, I also adopted a dog.

وكانت التجربة الأولى في أني أتبنى كلبة and it was|experience|first|in|that I|I adopt|dog And it was my first experience adopting a dog.

فبتذكر أول ما أخدت الكلبة عليها so I remember|first|when|I took|the dog|to it I remember the first time I took the dog.

بعد ما اشتريت لها طوق وشتريت لها حبل after|when|I bought|for her|collar|and I bought|for her|leash After I bought her a collar and bought her a leash.

أول ما أخدتوا عليها وحطيتها بالسيارة first|that|I took|on her|and I put her|in the car The first thing I took her and put her in the car.

أصحبت حالي وروحت أنا وياها أقعدنا في المطل I became|my situation|and I went|I|with her|we sat|in|the overlook I got ready and went with her to sit at the viewpoint.

وبتذكر حتى تصورت معها في المطل and I remember|even|I took a picture|with her|in|the overlook I even remember I took a picture with her at the viewpoint.

ودايماً بس أخدها معي على المطل بصورها and always|just|I take her|with me|to|the overlook|I take pictures of her And I always take her with me to the viewpoint to take pictures.

وهي بتطلع هيك لبعيد لأنه تشوف شو فيه أصوات and she|looks|like this|far|because|she sees|what|there is|sounds And she looks out like that into the distance to see what sounds there are.

وشو فيه أشياء وكثير تسمع أصوات يمكن and what|there is|things|and a lot|she hears|sounds|maybe And what things there are, and she can hear many sounds.

فبتلاقيها أحياناً اليمين أحياناً الجمال so you find her|sometimes|right|sometimes|camels So sometimes you find her to the right, sometimes to the left.

وزينا زي الحيوانات and we|like|animals And we are like the animals.

بنحتاج مساحات نتحرك فيها we need|spaces|we move|in them We need spaces to move around in.

مع شوية نبتات وتضريس with|a little|plants|and landscaping With some plants and landscaping.

نمشي نسرح أو بس حتى نشرب كاسة شاي we go|we relax|or|just|even|we drink|cup|tea We can go for a walk or just have a cup of tea.

ونحكي مع رفاقنا and we talk|with|our friends And talk with our friends.

كبيري كاسة شاي I am making|a cup|tea Big cup of tea

أنا وصحابي قعدين على الطاولة وكبيرني كاسة شاي I|and my friends|we are sitting|on|the table|and I am making|a cup|tea My friends and I are sitting at the table with a big cup of tea

هي عبارة عن مكان نقعد فيه it|it is|about|a place|we sit|in it It is a place where we sit

يعني ممكن نحكي عن أشياء معينة it means|possible|we talk|about|things|specific I mean we can talk about certain things

ممكن مرضو ما نحكي عن أشياء معينة possible|also|not|we talk|about|things|specific We can also not talk about certain things.

ممكن بس يكون عم نضحك possible|but|it is|progressive marker|we laugh We can just be laughing.

بس أنا بالنسبة لي كبيري كاسة شاي في المطل but|I|regarding|to me|my big|cup|tea|in|balcony But for me, a big cup of tea in the view.

أو كاسة قهوة or|cup|coffee Or a cup of coffee.

بس ليش ما بيشرب كاسة الشاي أو الأهوة but|why|not|he drinks|cup|tea|or|coffee But why doesn't he drink a cup of tea or coffee?

بمقهى أو مطعم؟ in a cafe|or|restaurant In a café or restaurant?

هل السعر السبب؟ is|the price|the reason Is the price the reason?

ولا فيه إشي بجوهر المطل وخواصه or|there is|something|in essence|the goal|and its properties Or is there something in the essence of the view and its properties?

اللي بيخليه يفضل يقعد هناك؟ that|makes him|he prefers|he sits|there What makes him stay there?

أنا بحس فنجان الأهوة أو فنجان الشاي بختلف I|I feel|cup|coffee|or|cup|tea|differs I feel that a cup of coffee or a cup of tea varies.

من مكان لمكان يعني مثلاً from|place|to place|that means|for example From place to place, for example.

فيه أهوة السنترال فص البلد there is|coffee|central|in front of|the town There is the central coffee in the town.

أنا من مرتدينها يعني بروح عليها كل فترة I|from|I wear it|I mean|I go|to it|every|period I am one of its regulars, meaning I go there every now and then.

بحب أشرب شاي هناك I love|I drink|tea|there I love to drink tea there.

وبحس كاسة الشاي في السنترال مميزة and I feel|cup|tea|in|central|special And I feel that the cup of tea at the central place is special.

وبروح كاسة الشاي في المطل مختلفة يعني and I go|cup|tea|in|view|different|I mean And the cup of tea at the lookout is different, you know.

مختلفين عن بعض يعني different|from|each other|means They are different from each other.

وأكتر إشي بيفرق بين المقهى والمطل and the most|thing|differentiates|between|the café|and the overlook And the biggest thing that differentiates between a café and a viewpoint.

إنه كمان المقهى إلو حدود والمطل ما إلو حدود that|also|the café|has|limits|and the overlook|not|has|limits Is that the café has boundaries while the viewpoint has no boundaries.

المطلات مكان تقدر يتفكري فيه بالحياة the overlooks|place|you can|you think|in it|in life Viewpoints are a place where you can think about life.

وتقدر تفكري فيه في طبيعة الكون and you can|you think|about it|in|nature|universe And you can think about it in the nature of the universe.

وهي الأشغالات هو أسهل بكتير من الكفاءة and it|the occupations|it is|easier|a lot|than|the efficiency And the occupations are much easier than the efficiency.

كتير من مرتدي المطلات بهربوا من حدود المكان اليومي many|of|wearers|the viewpoints|they escape|from|the limits|place|daily Many of those who wear the viewpoints escape from the limits of daily life.

ممكن عشان يقدروا يمارسوا حياتهم خارج قواعد العيب possible|because|they can|they practice|their lives|outside|the rules|shame Maybe so they can live their lives outside the rules of shame.

مثلاً الواحد ممكن يجيب شريكه لهالمساحة for example|one|can|he brings|his partner|to this space For example, one might bring their partner to this space.

اللي بعيدة عن عيون الناس والأذان الفضولية that|far|from|eyes|people|and ears|curious Which is far from the eyes of people and curious ears.

كمان من الممكن مجموعة من الناس تهرب من أسعار البرات also|from|possible|group|of|people|they escape|from|prices|drinks It is also possible for a group of people to escape from the prices of bars.

ويعملوا بار بالكرسي الخلفي للسيارة على المطل and they make|bar|in the seat|back|of the car|on|the view And set up a bar in the back seat of the car overlooking the view.

بشكل ما بصير فيها تجمع in a way|not|I become|in it|gathering In a way, there is a gathering there.

وناس بتحكي مع ناس من الشمبيك and people|they talk|with|people|from|the neighborhoods And people talk to people from the neighborhood.

وبتتحرك حواليهم and they move|around them And they move around them.

يعني المطلات مساحة عامة داخل المدينة that means|the viewpoints|space|public|inside|the city I mean, the viewpoints are a public space within the city.

ما بتخضع على أسوار السلطة المعتادة not|you submit|to|walls|authority|usual It does not submit to the usual power walls.

فإذاً تتحول ضمنياً لموقع صدام then|you turn|implicitly|to a position|conflict So it implicitly transforms into a site of conflict.

بتحاول السلطة تفرض نفسها فيه she tries|authority|to impose|herself|in it The authority tries to impose itself in it.

وبالإضافة لممارسة السلطة في المطلات and in addition|to the exercise of|authority|in|overlooks In addition to exercising authority in the overlooks.

أثار اهتمامي تجربة شربل مع الشرطة في الحارة sparked|my interest|experience|Sharbel|with|police|in|neighborhood I was intrigued by Sharbel's experience with the police in the neighborhood.

لما فتح مكتب المخابرات عندهم when|he opened|office|intelligence|at their place When the intelligence office opened there.

مثلاً العادي أحياناً بالشارع ممكن تيجي عليك الشرطة for example|normal|sometimes|in the street|it is possible|you come|on you|police For example, it's common for the police to approach you on the street.

وأسهل ما فيهم أنهم يطلبوا الهويات and the easiest|that|in them|that they|they ask for|IDs And the easiest thing for them is to ask for IDs.

أنا من نوع ما بحب كثير هذا الموقف I|from|type|not|I like|very|this|situation I am the kind of person who really likes this situation.

اللي بكونوا أعادين في الشارع أو في مكان ومرواحدة those|they are|sitting|in|street|or|in|place|and suddenly Those who are sitting in the street or in a place and suddenly.

بيجي ناس أو الأمن الوقائي أو البحث الجنائي they come|people|or|security|preventive|or|investigation|criminal People or security forces or criminal investigation come.

بيطلبوا هوياتنا they ask for|our IDs They ask for our IDs.

مع أنه إجراء طبيعي هو with|that|procedure|natural|it Although it is a normal procedure,

يمكن لأنه أنا بالحارة اللي ساكن فيها can|because|I|in the neighborhood|that|living|in it it can be because I live in the neighborhood

فيها عندنا مكتب مخابرات كبير in it|we have|office|intelligence|big where we have a large intelligence office.

فأحنا كنا قبل ما يفتح المكتب so we|we were|before|that|he opens|the office So we were before the office opened.

كنا متعودين نقعد في كل مكان بالحارة we were|used to|we sit|in|every|place|in the neighborhood We were used to sitting everywhere in the neighborhood.

يعني ما حدا بتحسس مننا that means|not|anyone|feels|from us I mean, no one felt threatened by us.

كونه أنه تعرفي عائلة يعني وحدة في الحارة since|that|you know|family|that means|one|in|the neighborhood Since you know a family, I mean one in the neighborhood.

بعد ما فتح مكتب المخابرات after|that|he opened|office|intelligence After the intelligence office opened.

صارت الأمور مختلفة شوي it became|the matters|different|a bit Things have become a bit different.

صار أي مكان نقعد فيه قريب منهم it became|any|place|we sit|in it|close|to them Any place we sit is close to them.

بيجيوا علينا ليش قاعدين هنا they come|to us|why|we are sitting|here They come to us asking why we are sitting here.

مع أنهم بعرفوا أنه إحنا سكان المنطقة with|they|they know|that|we|residents|the area Even though they know that we are residents of the area.

فهذا الصدام الطبيعي هذا موجود أحياناً so this|clash|natural|this|exists|sometimes This natural clash sometimes exists.

ما عمره صار معي في مطل not|ever|happened|with me|in|infidelity It has never happened to me in a situation of waiting.

بس بفضل ما عمره يصير معي but|thanks to|not|ever|happens|with me But I hope it never happens to me.

يمكن حسب يمكن لأنه أغلب مطلاتي اللي بروح عليها maybe|according to|maybe|because|most|my infidelities|that|I go|to them Maybe it's because most of the situations I go to are waiting.

تكون مكان هو بعيد عن المدينة it is|place|it|far|from|city The place is far from the city.

يعني بتخيل أكثر من مرة كنا نقعد I mean|I imagine|more|than|time|we were|we sit I mean, I imagine more than once we used to sit.

بالزمنات على مطلات مثلاً الجبل عمان أو الويبدة in the past|on|viewpoints|for example|mountain|Amman|or|Al-Weibdeh In the old days, for example, on the viewpoints like Jabal Amman or Al-Weibdeh.

وكان يجوا عندنا الشرطة يسألوننا إيش تعملوا and he was|they come|to us|police|they ask us|what|you do And the police would come to us and ask what we were doing.

وطبيعي بتخيل لأنه المكان شوي and it's natural|I imagine|because|the place|a bit And naturally, I imagine because the place is a bit

قريب عن الشوارع قريب عن المدينة close|to|the streets|close|to|the city close to the streets, close to the city.

بس الأغلب مطلاتي اللي أنا بروحها but|most of|my viewpoints|that|I|I go to But most of my viewpoints that I go to

يعني عمداً بختار أنها تكون بعيدة I mean|intentionally|I choose|that|to be|far I intentionally choose to be far away.

مطلات الداخل المدينة ومطلات خارج المدينة viewpoints|inside|city|and viewpoints|outside|city Views from inside the city and views from outside the city

أو اللي بعيدة عن الأحياء السكنية والقريبة عن الأحياء السكنية or|that|far|from|neighborhoods|residential|and close|from|neighborhoods|residential Or those that are far from residential neighborhoods and close to residential neighborhoods

القريبة عن الأحياء السكنية دايماً هي بالنسبة للسلطة close|from|neighborhoods|residential|always|it|regarding|to the authority Those close to residential neighborhoods are always considered by the authorities

أنه هي مكان ممكن يلم مشاكل أو يعمل مشاكل that|it|place|possible|to gather|problems|or|to create|problems As a place that could gather problems or create problems

فبتلاقيهم دايماً مثلاً في مطل وويبدة so you find them|always|for example|in|lookout|and they are watching So you always find them, for example, in a divorce and a bad situation.

بتخيل دايماً فيه شرطيين عم بتمشوا هناك I imagine|always|there are|police officers|present continuous marker|they are walking|there I always imagine there are police officers walking around there.

وأي حدا بلفت النظر بالنسبة لهم and any|person|catches|attention|regarding|to them And anyone who catches their attention.

ممكن يطلب هويته وهي الأمور possible|he asks for|his ID|and these|matters They might ask for their ID and those kinds of things.

بس هاي المساحة اللي أقرب لفضاء حر ومشاعل الجميع but|this|space|that|closer|to a space|free|and public|everyone But this space is the closest to a free space and a common area for everyone.

تتحول تلقائياً لوصمة على الناس اللي بيرتدوها it turns|automatically|to a stigma|on|people|that|they wear it It automatically becomes a stigma for the people who wear it.

لمجرد أنه فيه ناس بترتاح تشرب بالمطل just|that|there is|people|they feel comfortable|to drink|in the open Just because there are people who feel comfortable drinking in public.

بتتحول المكان بعقول ناس من المجتمع لتجمع للسكيرة it turns|the place|in the minds|people|from|the community|to a gathering|for the drunkards The place transforms in the minds of some people in the community into a gathering for drunks.

وبتيجي معه افتراضات تانية على طبيعة الناس اللي بيرتدوه and it comes|with it|assumptions|other|about|nature|people|who|they wear it And it comes with other assumptions about the nature of the people who wear it.

واللي بمارسوا في حياتهم and those|they practice|in|their lives And those who practice it in their lives.

يعني ممكن الواحد يفضل يتفادى يحكي للناس ولأهله أنه بيروح هناك I mean|it is possible|one|he prefers|to avoid|to tell|to people|and to his family|that|he goes|there I mean, a person might prefer to avoid telling people and their family that they go there.

لمجرد أنه تحول بمخيلتهم لمكان مظلم ومشكلجي just because|that|it turned|in their imagination|to a place|dark|and problematic Just because it has turned in their imagination into a dark and problematic place.

في صورة نمطية احنا عنا في تجاه المطلات والناس اللي بيرتدوا المطلات بعض الأحيان in|image|stereotypical|we|we have|in|towards|viewpoints|and the people|who|they wear|viewpoints|sometimes|times In a stereotype, we have regarding viewpoints and the people who go to viewpoints sometimes.

يعني بتذكر بابا كان كثير يحكي لي أول ما حكيت له أنه نازل على المطل أو راي على المطل I mean|I remember|my dad|he was|a lot|he used to say|to me|first|when|I told|to him|that|I am going down|to|viewpoint|or|I am going|to|viewpoint I remember my dad used to tell me that as soon as I told him I was going to a viewpoint.

بيحكي لي أنه شو بدك تنزل على المطل كله هناك سكرانين أو كله هناك بيشربوا he says|to me|that|what|you want|to go down|to|viewpoint|all|there|drunk|or|all|there|they drink He would say to me, 'What do you want to go to the viewpoint for? Everyone there is drunk or everyone there is drinking.'

في هاي الصورة النمطية تجاه المطلات واللي بيرتدوها in|this|image|stereotypical|towards|viewpoints|and those|they wear This is the stereotype towards viewpoints and those who go to them.

بس أنا مش كثير برضه بحب أعرف عن حالي أنه أنا زلمة كثير بيروح مطلات but|I|not|very|also|I like|to know|about|myself|that|I|man|very|he goes|viewpoints But I also don't really like to know about myself that I'm a guy who often goes to viewpoints.

يعني هو بالأخر مكان موجود فيه ناس في أي مكان ممكن يكون فيه تواجد فيه ناس ممكن تصير فيه مشكلة I mean|he|in the end|place|exists|in it|people|in|any|place|possible|to be|in it|presence|in it|people|possible|to happen|in it|problem I mean, in the end, it's a place where there are people; anywhere there could be a presence of people, a problem could arise.

بتذكر وقت المشكلة الصارت بس أخدت ماما على المطل كان الموضوع يعني عادي يعني I remember|time|problem||but|I took|mom|to|viewpoint|it was|subject|I mean|normal|I mean I remember when the problem happened, I just took my mom to the viewpoint; the situation was normal.

زي أي طوش ممكن تصير في أي شارع زي أي طوش ممكن تصير في أي مكان like|any|fight|possible|to happen|in|any|street|like|any|fight|possible|to happen|in|any|place Like any fight that could happen in any street, like any fight that could happen anywhere.

في النهاية أنه كيف تتفادي المشاكل أو الشغلات هي تلقائيا بتصير معي أنا يمكن in|the end|that|how|you avoid|problems|or|things|they|automatically|it happens|with me|I|maybe In the end, it's about how to avoid problems or things that automatically happen to me.

لأنه خلاص يعني الجنبية لو حكى أي شيء أو سمعته حكى يعني خلاص أنت بالنهاية بتتفادي because|that's it|I mean|the foreigner|if|he said|any|thing|or|I heard him|he said|I mean|that's it|you|in the end|you avoid Because, you know, if someone from the side says anything or I hear them say something, then in the end, you avoid it.

ما عمره صار معي بس أنا لو صار معي نوع من هاي الأمور اللي ممكن تتطر فيها تتفادي not|ever|it happened|with me|but|I|if|it happened|with me|kind|of|these|matters|that|possible|you encounter|in them|you avoid It has never happened to me, but if I were to encounter such matters, I could avoid them.

أنه أنا دايما بختار يعني عدم المواجهة في هاي الخيارات that|I|always|I choose|I mean|non|confrontation|in|these|options I always choose to avoid confrontation in these situations.

لأنه يعني ليش الواحد ضيع الهدوء والسيطرة ويبلش بشغلات تانية because|it means|why|one|lost|the calm|and control|and he starts|with things|other Because it means why one would waste calmness and control and start with other things.

هو آه أنا بالنسبة إلي المكان المطل هدوء وسيطرة بس هو يمكن هذا الاشي كثير مختلف he|yes|I|regarding|to me|the place|the view|calm|and control|but|it|maybe|this|thing|very|different Yes, for me, the place is a source of calmness and control, but maybe this thing is very different.

بالنسبة لغيري يعني بتذكر أحيانا بكون جنبية بكون قاعدين ناس أنه بلعبوا شدة regarding|to others|it means|I remember|sometimes|I am|next to|I am|sitting|people|that|they play|cards For others, I sometimes remember being next to people who are playing cards.

وبأرقلوا وبضحكوا يعني وبنفس الوقت ممكن تلاقي ناس عم تشرب في المطل and I relax them|and they laugh|it means|and at the same|time|maybe|you find|people|in the process of|drinking|in|the view And they are relaxing and laughing, and at the same time, you might find people drinking in the area.

قاعدين بسيارتهم بخبين حالهم وعم بشربوا sitting|in their car|hiding|themselves|and|they are drinking They are sitting in their car hiding themselves and drinking.

ويعني أنا بصراحة ما عندي مشكلة مع أي حدا بشو بعمل في المطل and I mean|I|honestly|not|I have|problem|with|any|person|in what|I do|in|the matter And honestly, I have no problem with anyone regarding what they do in the public.

بس أنه أنا بالنهاية إلي دخل في الهدوء والسيطرة تاعتي but|that|I|in the end|my|entry|in|the calm|and control|my But in the end, I have my own calmness and control.

والهدوء والسيطرة تاعتي ما لها علاقة في الناس اللي حوالي يعني أنا ممكن and the calm|and control|my|not|it has|relation|with|the people|that|around|I mean|I|I can And my calmness and control have nothing to do with the people around me, I mean I can.

عن جد يكون في حفلة جنبية في المطل عم تسير وأنا لسه بالنسبة إلي الأمور هدوء وسيطرة about|really|there is|in|party|foreign|in|overlook|present continuous|is happening|and I|still|regarding|to me|matters|calm|control There really could be a party happening at the overlook, and for me, things are still calm and under control.

السؤال إذن لو صار المطل مكان منظم ملك للدولة the question|then|if|became|overlook|place|organized|owned|by the state The question then is, what if the overlook became an organized place owned by the state?

وتم تطوير فكرة الجلوس فيه كأنك في حديقة and it was|development|idea|sitting|in it|as if you|in|park And the idea of sitting there was developed as if you were in a park.

ولو صار فيه خدمات أكتر من بس شاي وأهوة وأرقيلة ممكن مصفات كمان and if|became|in it|services|more|than|just|tea|and coffee|and hookah|possible|restaurants|also And if there were more services than just tea, coffee, and shisha, maybe even a restaurant.

هل رح تحب تروح عليه؟ will|I will|you like|you go|to it Will you love to go to it?

ولا رح تفضل الجلوس في مطل أنت بتختاره عشوائياً بارز بنفسه في الطبيعة or|I will|you prefer|sitting|in|viewpoint|you|you choose|randomly|prominent|by itself|in|nature Or will you prefer to sit in a viewpoint that you randomly choose, prominent in nature?

وغير محكم بقواعد استخدام أو حتى مراقبة؟ and not|governed|by rules|use|or|even|monitoring And not restricted by rules of use or even monitoring?

لو كان المطل منظم أو هيك صار فيه محل مصفات للسيارات وهي الأمور if|it was|viewpoint|organized|or|like this|it became|there is|place|parking|for cars|and these|matters If the viewpoint was organized or if there was a parking area and such things.

وكان فيه محلات معينة بحس بفقد نوع من الأشياء المهمة في المطل أنه بصير إليه حدود and there was|in it|shops|specific|I feel|I lose|kind|of|things|important|in|the overlook|that|it becomes|to it|limits There were specific shops where I felt a loss of a certain important aspect in the viewpoint, as it started to have boundaries.

بصير آه أوكي هذا المكان اللي لازم تصف فيه سيارتك هذا المكان اللي ممكن تقعد فيه it becomes|ah|okay|this|place|that|must|you park|in it|your car|this|place|that|can|you sit|in it It becomes clear, okay, this is the place where you need to park your car, this is the place where you can sit.

أو هاي الخيرات اللي ممكن تقعد فيها بينما هلأ يعني المطل حتى الكشكات الموجودة or|these|options|that|can|you sit|in them|while|now|I mean|the overlook|even|kiosks|that are there Or these are the options where you can sit, while now, I mean, even the kiosks that are present.

ممكن بسهولة تجنبيهم وتقعد تمشي أو تلاقي مكان إليك خاص فيكي can|easily|you avoid them|and you sit|you walk|or|you find|place|for you|special|in you You can easily avoid them and walk or find a place that is specifically for you.

وهاي من أهم الأمور بحس في المطلات أنه كثير مؤسف بكون لو المطل صار مكان منظم and this|from|most important|matters|I feel|in|viewpoints|that|very|unfortunate|it is|if|viewpoint|became|place|organized And this is one of the most important things I feel about viewpoints, it's very unfortunate if the viewpoint becomes an organized place.

لأنه مطل برضه عشوائي يعني ممكن أي مكان يكون مطل يعني أنا بقدر أقعد على صخرة because|viewpoint|also|random|means|possible|any|place|it is|viewpoint|means|I|I can|I sit|on|rock Because a viewpoint can also be random, meaning any place can be a viewpoint, I can sit on a rock.

بدل ما أقعد على الكرسي بقدر أقعد على شجرة ألاقي شجرة أنزل تحت شوي وألاقي شجرة وأقعد عليها instead of|not|I sit|on|chair|I can|I sit|on|tree|I find|tree|I go down|under|a bit|and I find|tree|and I sit|on it Instead of sitting on a chair, I can sit on a tree, I find a tree, go down a bit, and find a tree and sit on it.

فبسهولة بتقدر تلاقي المطل تاك الخاص فيكي كل حاجة لازم يكون فيه عنده تجربة في المطلات so easily|you can|you find|viewpoint|your|private|in you|every|thing|must|it is|in it|he has|experience|in|viewpoints So easily you can find your own viewpoint, everything should have an experience in viewpoints.

للأسف اللي ما عندي ممكن سيارة أنا محضوظ أنه أنا جد عندي سيارة وبقدر أروح على المطلات unfortunately|that|not|I have|possible|car|I|lucky|that|I|really|I have|car|and I can|I go|to|viewpoints Unfortunately, those who do not have a car, I am lucky that I actually have a car and I can go to the viewpoints.

وبقدر ألفلف أروح وأجي أنزل مطل في الصلط أنزل مطل في أبو نصير أنزل مطل في أبو السوس and I can|I wander|I go|and I come|I go down|viewpoint|in|Salt|I go down|viewpoint|in|Abu|Nasir|I go down|viewpoint|in|Abu|Suss I can drive around, go and come, visit a viewpoint in Salt, visit a viewpoint in Abu Nseir, visit a viewpoint in Abu al-Sus.

بس بتمنى أنه جد أي حدا بقدر يحتاج مطل ليقدر يلاقي مطل أو يقدر يكون عنده قدرة أنه يوصل أي مطل but|I hope|that|really|any|person|I can|needs|viewpoint|so that he can|he finds|viewpoint|or|he can|he has|he has|ability|to|he reaches|any|viewpoint But I really hope that anyone who needs a viewpoint can find one or has the ability to reach any viewpoint.

ممكن نفكر بالمطلات كمساحات مضادة لهيمنة الحدود علينا وعلى تصرفاتنا possible|we think|about viewpoints|as spaces|counter|to the dominance|borders|on us|and on|our actions We might think of viewpoints as spaces that counter the dominance of borders over us and our actions.

علي وقتنا ومصارينا وحريتنا on|our time|our money|our freedom On our time, our resources, and our freedom.

كمساحة بتوقف بوجه المنشآت الخاصة والمساحات المغلقة ومساحات النظام والتنظيم as a space|it stops|in front of|the establishments|private|and the spaces|closed|and spaces|the system|and organization As a space that stands against private establishments, closed spaces, and spaces of system and organization.

متنفس وزي ما عم بتروح من بين إيدينا وزي ما عم نتعرض للتنمية عشان عم نطلب بمساحة نكون فيها بلا حدود a breathing space|and like|not|I am|you go|from|between|our hands|and like|not|I am|we are exposed|to development|because|I am|we ask|for a space|we can be|in it|without|borders A breath of fresh air, and as it slips through our fingers and as we are subjected to development because we are asking for a space where we can be without limits.

ومارستنا بالذهاب إلها والجلوس عندها تتحول لممارسة انتزاع لهذا المكان العام واسترجاع قيمة الخلاء and our practice|of going|to it|and sitting|by it|it turns into|to the practice of|seizing|this|place|public|and reclaiming|value|emptiness And our practice of going to it and sitting by it turns into a practice of reclaiming this public space and restoring the value of emptiness.

المطل كان مهربي وهو مهرب شربل كمان من لما الدنيا تبلش تسكر وتديق علي وعليه the lookout|was|my smuggler|he is|smuggler|Sharbel|also|since|when|the world|starts|to close|and to narrow|on me|and on him The lookout was my smuggler, and he is also a smuggler, Shrebel, since when the world starts to close in and tighten on me and him.

من زمان لليوم ونحنا منطلع على الجبال ومنسكنها since|a long time|until today|and we|we go up|to|the mountains|and we inhabit them For a long time until today, we have been going up the mountains and settling there.

مندور على القمم لنقدر نشوف المنظر الأحلى والأشمل من فوق we search|for|the peaks|so we can|we see|the view|the most beautiful|and the most comprehensive|from|above We search for the peaks so we can see the most beautiful and comprehensive view from above.

ومن يهابوا صعود الجبالي يعيش أبدا دهري بين الحفر and those who|they fear|climbing|the mountains|he lives|forever|my lifetime|among|the pits And those who fear climbing the mountains will live forever in the pits.

نهاية هالحلقة بدي أشكر شربل على مشاركتنا حبه وتجربته للمطلات end|this episode|I want|I thank|Sharbel|for|sharing with us|his love|and his experience|for the viewpoints At the end of this episode, I want to thank Charbel for sharing his love and experience of the viewpoints.

وعكسلنا بكل استرسال كيف الصورة النمطية السائدة حول هاي الأماكن ومين بيزورها مش دقيقة and he showed us|in every|detail|how|the image|stereotypical|prevailing|about|these|places|and who|visits them|not|accurate And he showed us in detail how the prevailing stereotype about these places and who visits them is not accurate.
