    Default Mashrou' Leila - Fasateen

    My favourite modern Arabic song! I understand most of it...yet not all of it, so I would be most grateful if someone can help:

    بتتذكري لما قلتيلي إنك رح تتزوجيني بلا فلوس و بلا بيت
    Remember when you told me you'll marry me, without money or a house
    بتتذكري كنتي تحبي مع اني مش داخل دينك تزكري كيف كنا هيك
    Remember when you used to love me, despite me not being part of your religion
    بتتذكري لما إمك شافتني بتختك قالتلي إنسى عنك
    Remember when your mother saw me sleeping in your bed (?), she told me to forget you
    واتفقنا نضلنا هيك بلا أدوار وطنطنات بلا كرافات وصبحيات
    And we agreed _______________________________
    بلا ملايين بلا فساتين
    Without millions or dresses
    مسكتيلي ايدي ووعدتيني بشي ثورة كيف نسيتي كيف نسيتيني
    You held my hand. Promised me a revolution. How did you forget me? How?
    ومشطتيلي شعري وبعتتيني عالدوام كيف بتمشطي مشطيني
    And you brushed my hair and ___________________
    مسكتيلي ايدي ووعدتيني بشي ثورة كيف نسيتي كيف نسيتيني
    You held my hand. Promised me a revolution. How did you forget me? How?
    بتتذكري لما قلتيني إنك نويك تتركيني بلا فلوس بلا بيت
    Remember when you told me you plan to leave me, because I had no money or a house

    i'm filling in the blanks:

    واتفقنا نضلنا هيك بلا أدوار وطنطنات بلا كرافات وصبحيات

    And we agreed to stay that way, without bells and whistles, without ties and formal gatherings
    (TIES meaning like a tie that you were with a suit)


    the second part, i'm not really sure, but i think he's playing around with 'brushing off'....

    hope this helps!!
