Hi, guys. I was wondering who first recorded this song:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xNMWeYzYCfY

I thought it was recorded by the great Sabah, however, it seems I was wrong. Do you have any clue?? Can you ask your parents?

I also ask you to complete the Arabic lyrics, please. And of course, fell free to comment the English version. Here in Brazil this song became famous about 10 years ago sung by the bellydancer Gisele in an orientalistic soap opera about Morroco. Old arabic people here could not remember who first recorded it. Thank u in advance.


مبروك يا عريس
Mabruk ia ariz
Congratulations to the groom

و عرستك زين
U arustak zein
And also to the bride

ست الحلوين اه يا نور العين
Set el heluin ah ia nur el aain
Lady of beauty, oh light of the eyes

مبروك مبروك
Mabruk mabruk
Congratulations

الفين مبروك
Alfein mabruk
To both

Aala el heluin ah ia nur el aain
Lady of beauty, oh light of the eyes


Ia sabaia zefu aarussetna
Girls, let´s applaude our bride

Aarussetna ia zinet haretna
Our bride decoretes our street

De'ul el mazamir
Play the Muzmar

Ulu la mim
Tell me, for who?

Aala el heluin ah ia nur el aain
For the lady of beauty, oh the light of the eyes.

;-( So fusty.... But I am really curious to hear the original track.

Wowww! As we would say in my country - "VIVA!!!"(aiwa). Could you write for me the rest in Arabic Caracters? Just if it's not asking too much, of course. ;-)

Oh, I still wish someone one day (in 2021 maybe) will read this post and answer about the original track. Oh, if Sabah had recorded it years ago, that should be a pearl. I know I have a strange taste, perhaps I was born in wrong times :-P Thank you for your help and kindness.

Almost forgot... The version they put in the soapopera (a little bit different) - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f_G2kIPUrMg

Haha I might not be the girl for this, my arabic is not that good I'm afraid!

pero de nada, I hope someone finds you the original soon!

I hope someone finds you the original soon!

So do I! I am sure it will happen next year... or the next next, or the other one after the next one :-D As I told, I asked to some Arabs living here, of course older than me.... And they knew the song, but had no idea about the original voice! ;-( Shukran anyway!
