Bint Al Balad - Fatme Serhan

Dear all,

Does anyone have the transliteration and translation of the song "Bint Al Balad" (Bent el Balad/Bint-el-Beled, etc.) sung by Fatme Serhan?

Here's a link to the song on YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iqj3lysLTM4

Thank you so much in advance!

Bump!

I'm dancing to this song at the end of November, so would love to know what the lyrics say (beyond "Girl from the Country").

Thanks in advance!

Still nobody?

Hi Lady Sahar, upon your first request I googled and took a look everywhere, I couldn´t even find the lyrics. Even with different ways of spelling :-(
I would be interested either

There is a famous belly dancer in germany, she is armenian and raised in Syria and she publishes translations of arabic music in a german belly dance magazine. Actually I found that song and I remembered your request. So I'll write the transliteration and translate her german translation into english.

Away ya bent elbald... ah... ya salam
tahala wassah ya walah unschuf bamatil balad
dahna hawah ssirri dalah wihna schabaknal balad

Tahala Tahala
Bent el balad ah ya halawithah hala chiftithah uhala latafitha
sayyil gasalah bmaschyitha schagalit ulubnah bschwatwithah

Umaschya bigamalha wilssah maruß halhagib
Dah hilwah awih awih wi tahmah ahwi ahwi awih
Dabet ulub min scha'awthah bent el balad aaah ya halawithah

Tahalah Tahalah... Tahala u schuf bent el balad


Yes, you girl from the country....ah... how beatiful
Come all you men and see this girl from the country
we are the mystery to love and to indulge
we keep you (men) frimly in our hand

Come, come..
Girl form the country - oh she is beautifull, flirty and nice
She walks like a gazelle. with every step she lets your hearts leap for joy
Adorable she walks on by
You can see, that she knows herself how beautiful she is
She is very beautiful, very very very and very flirty, very very very
Being so playful she has made many broken hearts
Girl from the country - oh, how cute she is!
Come, come and see the girld form the country!

Oh, that's so great Tahira! Thank you ever so much. I've already performed to this now, but happily I seem to have managed to embody the message in the lyrics nonetheless. ;-)

Thanks again!
