Hanine y Son Cubano - Baladi (Salsa Salsita)

Dear everyone,

I'm desparately looking for a translation to the Arabic parts in this Cuban/Lebanese song by Hanine y Son Cubano. The Spanish parts are quite clear to me, but there are parts when Hanine sings in Arabic. I'm assuming about her hometown Beirut, but I'd like to know what she sings where...

Could anyone help? Here's a link to the song:

Thanks loads for the trouble!!
Iris

Aaaaaanyone?

please someone.... I am also wondering what she is saying..

Hii Yrishka & Zahra2008
I'm not familiar with lebanese dialect, so there're couple of words that I couldn't figure out what it were, yet I think it'll be helpful

Arabic lyrics:

غنِّي شروقي وعتابا
عندنا أبو الظرف/الزلف
و*** جانا
*** لضيعتنا
والمواسم عالجنى
واليوم بدي صوتي جسر بين بيروت وهافانا

spanish lyrics

يا بيروت يا بلدي

spanish lyrics

دنيتنا ضيعة
كل الناس ولاد العم
ضحكتنا ضايعة
بحروب بدول الشقا والهم
ما تشوفوا الفوارق
ما توقفوا عَ المفارق
كل الناس ولاد العم
وموحدنا لون الدم
وموحدنا لون الدم
وموحدنا لون الدم

spanish lyrics

هيهــات يأبو الزلوف
عيني يا مولاية
ما احلى صباح الورد عَ نبعة الميه

spanish lyrics

واليوم بدي صوتي جسر بين بيروت وهافانا

sorry for the rough translation, I made it in hurry :$ .. may other members, esp. those familiar with lebanese dialect, modify and correct it

----------

* shru2y is kinda colloquial poetry and so is 3ataba.
** it's hard for me to translate these expressions, i think it's kinda refrains. like ya leyl .. ya 3en in Egyptian and many Arabian songs as well.

Dear El-Egipcio,

you have been INCREDIBLY helpful!!! Thank you so much!!!!!!
With the tiny little bit of Arabic that I know I will at least say shukran ktir
for all your hard work

I'm sitting here just smiling and reading the translation. It's a sweet song!
You have done a great job! Thanks again and big kiss to you,

Iris

btw, i like the name Zahra ... reminds me with a dear friend

ohh yeah, its beautiful .. and I love the meaning!!

I know El~Egipcio did most of the work but I'd like to add in my contribution and clarify some of what he missed and maybe correct a thing here or there:

Shru2i (shru'ii) and 3ataba ('Ataba) are to forms of Lebanese folklore.. so is Mejana.. so the song goes like:
