Nicole Saba - El toto nay

Hi again!!

Can someone write down the lyrics of this song for me please? Thanks

Ana nefsi ya ma3alem at3alem
Leh lama bashoufak batooh
Yemken 3ashan albak mangaya
W khaddak mashoftesh akhooh
Msh 3arfa ba2a rakezz
Ya 3am engezz
W ta3ala awam
Ya wad enta raseeni
da ana w deeni
Ya sheikh ma banam

El toto nai, el toto nai

El 3arees far7an keda leh
Ya far7eto w far7et omo bih
Bokra netfarag 3lih
2afas el3ayn shu raya7 gai

Wel 3arousa 3ala eih far7ana
Bokra hatrawe7 za3lana
Mel ghaseel hat2oul ahh yana
Temsek dahraha wet2oul ay
Ay ay ay ay ay

Bokra no3od gamb el 7ayta
Kolena w nesma3 3al zeita
Hayekhbatou demaghhom fel 7aita
La2 w lessa elte2eel dah gai

El3arees 2al far7an 2al
Bokra lama yegeebo 3ayal
Hay3ayatoulu el yom b toolu
W yefdal bihom raya7 gai

"Yemken 3ashan albak mangaya" "mangaya" like in "my mango"? LOL



Thanks a lot Day have a nice friday! (and don't forget to cross your fingers for Mexico to beat South Africa today please )

... and now please a translation for your german belly dancer

Great song Citlally, I saw it when you first posted it under "listenening to... arabic" section

Guten Morgen Tahira

Yes, I forgot to ask for the translation too! please Day?? momken?

I saw this by chance in an interview with Nicole Saba on an egyptian tv show two days ago

Sure thing ladies, inshallah by the evening I'll have it done when I'm back, I just hope I don't screw it up lack of sleep the past week.. my old signature still reigns supreme. 2/3 hrs a night isn't doing the mind justice

here you go sweety, I had done it last night but before I came to post the rain knocked out my connection:

Ana nefsi ya ma3alem at3alem
Sir, I wish to learn
m3alem is one word and it's a slang for "sir/mister"

Leh lama bashoufak batooh
Why is it when I see you I get lost

Yemken 3ashan albak mangaya
Perhaps because your heart is a mango
lol mango - sweet/a mango - mangaya/my mango - mangayti

W khaddak mashoftesh akhooh
And I haven't seen anything like your cheeks
this is figurative

Msh 3arfa ba2a rakezz
I don't know how to focus now

Ya 3am engezz
Man, hurry up

W ta3ala awam
And come quick

Ya wad enta raseeni
Boy, find a solution

da ana w deeni
I swear by my religion
She's just taking an oath here

Ya sheikh ma banam
Man, I don't sleep

El toto nai, el toto nai
This has no real meaning, it's just a song filler lol

El 3arees far7an keda leh
Why is the groom so happy?

Ya far7eto w far7et omo bih
Oh he's so happy and his mother's so proud

Bokra netfarag 3lih
Tomorrow we will be watching them

2afas el3ayn shu raya7 gai
The bread basket coming and going
Saying he will be pushed around by his wife

Wel 3arousa 3ala eih far7ana
And why is the bride so happy

Bokra hatrawe7 za3lana
In the future she will go home upset

Mel ghaseel hat2oul ahh yana
From all the laundry she has to do she will say oh my

Temsek dahraha wet2oul ay
Hold her back and say ouch

Ay ay ay ay ay
Ouch, ouch, ouch

Bokra no3od gamb el 7ayta
Tomorrow we will sit next to the walls
eavesdrop

Kolena w nesma3 3al zeita
All of us and we'll hear the noise
zeeta is a slang for noise, so the arguments and yelling

Hayekhbatou demaghhom fel 7aita
They will bang their heads in the walls
beating themselves up in regret

La2 w lessa elte2eel dah gai
But still the difficult [issues] have yet to come

El3arees 2al far7an 2al
The groom claims he's so happy

Bokra lama yegeebo 3ayal
When he has children

Hay3ayatoulu el yom b toolu
They will cry the entire day

W yefdal bihom raya7 gai
And he will keep on his toes

Oh la la! loads of things to learn from this song (in more than one sense LOL thank you )
