سالني


سألني الماعرف اصلي يكولي سني لو شيعي
he asked me, who i didnt know very well, tell me if ur sinni or shi'y

كتله انا عرراقي وكمر ضاوي
i told him im iraqi and the moon lights (gives light)

كالولي من عنوانك نعرفك
tell me, whats ur address, so we may know u

جاوبتهم اني انباري بلهجتي واني تكريتي بظميري
i replied to him, im Anbari in my emigration, im Tikreety in my mind

وتبقى دوووم الحله داري
and i stay always with the house

وطيبه اهل الكوت عندي
and good family i have

وانا عماري وضحكتي بصراوي
and i am Amary, and laugh Basrah-wy

كالو احنه من اسم ولدك نعرفك
they said, from your name are you parents, so that we know you

من اسم عائلتك نعرفك من اسم ربعك نعرفك
from your name is your Clan/tribe, we will know you from you name of your tribe, we will know you

مادرو عندي اولاد عندي حسين واحد وعمر واحد
they didnt know i have children, i have one Hassein, and one 3mr

وبعد عثمان وبعد علاوي
and still 3thman and still 3lawy

كالو نشوفك تصلي
they said we saw you praying

ولازم نشوف الحقيقه كلت بالخلاني اصلي
and we must see the truth, i said i pray with my brotherhood

وبمايه الكوفه اتوضى اتوضى اتوضى
and in water from Kufa I did ablution (wathu)

ومن مناره ابو حنيفه اسمع اذاني
and from the light of the father of truth, i hear the call to prayer

وركعتي الاولى بالكاظم
and two beginning rakats, in Kathem

وثاني ركعه بحظره الكيلاني بعد
and two rakats memorized the Keelany still

لاتسألني اكثر مابقى شي
dont ask me more, nothing else is left

هذا اصلي وهاي جنسيتي وديني انا عراقي ابن عراقي
this is original, and this is my nationality and life. im iraqi, song of iraq

سألني الماعرف اصلي يكولي سني لو شيعي
he asked me, he who didn’t know me well, he told me “are you sunni or shi'y”

كتله انا عرراقي وكمر ضاوي
i told him im iraqi and im a shining moon

كالولي من عنوانك نعرفك
they told me, from can find out who you are from your address

جاوبتهم اني انباري بلهجتي واني تكريتي بظميري
i replied to him, im Anbari through my accent, and im Tikreety through my conscience
*Anbar and Takreet are names of places

وتبقى دوووم الحله داري
And Al Hilla will always be my home
**Al 7ila is a name of an area

وطيبه اهل الكوت عندي
And the kindness of the people of Kowt will always be in me
**Kowt is a name of an area

وانا عماري وضحكتي بصراوي
and i am Amary, and my laugh is Basra-wy
*Al Amriya and Al Ba9ra are names of areas

كالو احنه من اسم ولدك نعرفك
They said “we can know who you are from the name of your sons name“

من اسم عائلتك نعرفك من اسم ربعك نعرفك
“from the name of your family we can know, from the names of your friends we can know”

مادرو عندي اولاد عندي حسين واحد وعمر واحد
they didnt know i have children, i have one Hussain and another called 3umar

وبعد عثمان وبعد علاوي
And I also Have 3thman.. and 3ali

**Hussain and Ali are considered for shi’as while 3umar and 3uthman are for sunnas.. not literally like that.. but as common names

كالو نشوفك تصلي
They said “we’ll see how you pray”
**coz of the difference in how the hands are kept in prayer

ولازم نشوف الحقيقه كلت بالخلاني اصلي
“And we have to see the truth”.. I said “I pray with my friends, just as they do”

وبمايه الكوفه اتوضى اتوضى اتوضى
And from the water in Al Koufa I do my ablution (wathu)

ومن مناره ابو حنيفه اسمع اذاني
And from the tower (Minaret) of Abu Haneefa I hear my prayers

وركعتي الاولى بالكاظم
And my first Rak’ah (Kneeling) is to Al Kathem
**Imam Kathim to the shi’as

وثاني ركعه بحظره الكيلاني بعد
And my second rak’ah is to Al Keelani

لاتسألني اكثر مابقى شي
And don’t ask me more, for nothing more is left

هذا اصلي وهاي جنسيتي وديني انا عراقي ابن عراقي
This is my origin.. this is my nationality and religion.. I am an Iraqi, son of an Iraqi



**all the areas are that of Iraq
**when they say “we can know” it means .. we can know whether your sunni or shi’a

Salem idayki Gole Yas

Yeah Ahmed, Dari, and la7je, and the ma3aref asli...just small words you misunderstood/didnt hear, bas excellent try Nice song!

yislamli albik 7abibti

heyy Ana a3raf Ba9ra!! A7lee min Ba9ra lool. Hilla I knew too, but in arabic they dont put capital letters like in English, correct? they should cuz then id know its Koot the place lol . Never heard of koot... I would have liked to have visited Iraq when it was better.... like what 50,60,70's lol before the wars. Ya irate, id love to see wats left of the historical sites. What a loss we lost our museum pieces. we should have put it in museums in england. then Vivapalestina could go see it too

Aaaah Ahmed shouldnt you be encouraging me to go Iraq?

Hehe capitals in arabic? Dont you think its a complicated enough language as it is? Every letter already has three different shapes, at the start of a word, in the middle, and at the end...you want a fourth for capitals?

lool.. we'll all freak =P hard enough for us ARABS to know the grammer and language =P

I still dont think I know the grammar yet...

loool .. my mom is an arabic teacher .. so .. yeah.. i HAD TO learn proper arabic =P supposedly =P lol

Lucky you I forgot all my i3rab and fi3l, fa3al and maf3ol bihi the second I left saturday school (Endorsed by the qatari government I might add!)

Well actually, the fi3l and fa3al are probably the only things I still remember hence why I quoted them...its the nafi and other stuff I've totally forgotten

Bas yallah Oriee is attempting to drill some in our thick heads

lool goodluck with that .. enjoy =P
