    Default Four missing lines in Alf 7ewar

    A while back, I requested lyrics for "Alf 7ewar," and I just noticed (sorry, life got in the way and my ability to translate Arabic is almost nonexistent) that four lines of the second verse got lost in the cut and paste between the transliteration and the translation. Can anybody fill them in? Thanks!


    Enty 7aga mish me7tagha
    You're something I don't need
    hewaratik sa3ba asada2ha
    Your lies are hard to belive
    inty fe3lan 3ayza wa7id
    You really need someone
    yed7ak 3al bent o ye5da3ha
    That lies at girls and cheat her
    Kont afesh 7araktik
    I hated your moves
    Kont ba7rab men hewaratik
    I used to run away from your situation
    kont zaman 3ala tool motaf2l
    I was always optimistic
    bas del wa2t hayati mashakl
    But now my life is full of problems

    Eih el khalany bass a7ibak

    Er7ameni men genanik

    You made me forget love in a second
    khaletne kreht el donya
    You made me hate life

    Dayman khan2ani o betshtaghelene
    You always make me suffer
    be alf 7ewar khaleti el 3sha ma3ake
    ya bente 3azab o marar
    With thousands of situations, life with you is suffering

    Thank you for filling in the missing lines, but could you clarify this?

    khaletny shrebt el sheesha
    you made me the hubble- bubble

    Is "making someone the hubble-bubble" a common expression? I thought "sheesha" referred to a water pipe. What does this mean?

    Thanks!

    You made me smoke the water pipe.. yes it's correct, some people call it sheesha, argileh, nargilah, water pipe, hubbly bubbly, hookah.. it's got many names..

    Okay, but do you think he's trying to imply that she drove him to sit around all
    day smoking tobacco (wasting time) or hashish (getting wasted)? I'm just trying to understand the cultural point--where I live in the US, nobody uses a water pipe for smoking anything but marijuana, but I thought flavored (normal) tobacco was more common in the Middle East.

    you know when some people get frustrated they smoke...

    well shesha is the same thing that's what hes implying

    and ur comment about " no one smokes hookah in America is 100% wrong lol

    in the city I live in, we have 5/6 Hookah Bars and 80% of the people there
    are American

    Sorry, I wasn't clear there. I meant, "In the particular US city where I live, where we don't have a large, cosmopolitan population or an Arab immigrant community, it is uncommon to find someone who smokes a traditional water pipe with flavored tobacco. We're limited to the occasional pothead smoking a bong while listening to the Grateful Dead." LOL. I'm in a "flyover state."
