..help!!..listen to this song! *

.....i discovered this song yesterday night only, while i was looking for videos about Alexandria..Egypt.
The singer is called "Aida El Ayoubi" i think??.....and the song is called "ala bali". Thing is..there seems to be dozens of songs with that name which aren't that song at all!.....
...oh and so i'm desperatly seeking for some translation of the ala bali i discovered yesterday....and which seems to be holding my heart so deeply ever since!
...oh help.......the translation is just nowhere through the web!.. ..it's the other ala bali down there.... ..also, i don't understand why it's sometimes written with a N°3 in front?..like "3la bali".. ?
.......anyway..anyone to help?...i'd be thankfuuuuul!!
here is the song :

Hope you can hear it ok there...and if like me you didn't know it, then..hope you'll like it too...

..such a lovely song....so good....and touched me deep, a lot..sincerely.
xxxx.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

على بالى
على بالى على بالى حبيبى على بالى
على بالى على بالى ابن بلدى على بالى
وعلى بالى على بالى حبيبى على بالى
على بالى على بالى ابن بلدى على بالى

لا يا مصرى لا ولا لا والف لا
تهجر بلدك وتسبنا بلدك بيك اولى
لا يا مصرى لا لا ولا لا والف لا

ليه تهجرنا وقلبك يقسى ليه تبعد وحبايبك تنسى
ليه يبن بلدى ليه آه آه
فين الجواب فين الرساله
هتبعتهم قوام قوام
نسيت هوانا وبعته

على بالى على بالى حبيبى على بالى
على بالى على بالى ابن بلدى على بالى
وعلى بالى على بالى حبيبى على بالى
على بالى على بالى ابن بلدى على بالى

فين تلاقى الضحكه الحلوه
ضحكه من القلب والعين سوا
فين تلاقى العيون السوده
جمالهم غنوه والكلام عنهم حقيقه

على بالى على بالى حبيبى على بالى
على بالى على بالى ابن بلدى على بالى
وعلى بالى على بالى حبيبى على بالى
على بالى على بالى ابن بلدى على بالى

مين يصحى فى الفجريه يأدنلك
قوم يا مؤمن قوم واشكر ربك
مين فى المحنه يقف جنبك
ويقولك ربك بكره يعدلها فى اوانها

لا يا مصرى لا ولا لا والف لا
لا يا مصرى لا ولا لا والف لا
تهجربلدك وتسبنا بلدك بيك اولى


على بالى على بالى حبيبى على بالى
على بالى على بالى ابن بلدى على بالى
وعلى بالى على بالى حبيبى على بالى
على بالى على بالى ابن بلدى على بالى

....well at least, i can tell it "looks" very nice hey..

..and though i don't know what it says, i'll keep them with me of course!
.....at least they're my ala bali aren't they?.. ......the other ala balis on the net look nice but they're not the same..
..so, yes : thanks!!

Abandon your country and leave us, your country has a right on you
لا يا مصرى لا لا ولا لا والف لا
No oh egyptian, no and no, and a thousand no

ليه تهجرنا وقلبك يقسى ليه تبعد وحبايبك تنسى
Why do you leave us and harden your heart, why do you leave us and forget your loved ones
ليه يبن بلدى ليه آه آه
Why oh son of my country why oh oh
فين الجواب فين الرساله
Wheres the answer wheres the letter
هتبعتهم قوام قوام
You said you're going to send them straight away, straight away
نسيت هوانا وبعته
You forgot our love and sold it

على بالى على بالى حبيبى على بالى
I wish I wish my love I wish
على بالى على بالى ابن بلدى على بالى
I wish I wish son of my country I wish
وعلى بالى على بالى حبيبى على بالى

على بالى على بالى ابن بلدى على بالى
I wish I wish son of my country I wish

فين تلاقى الضحكه الحلوه
Where will you find the pretty laugh
ضحكه من القلب والعين سوا
A laugh from the heart and eyes together
فين تلاقى العيون السوده
Where will you find the black eyes
جمالهم غنوه والكلام عنهم حقيقه
Their beauty is a song, and the words are true

على بالى على بالى حبيبى على بالى
I wish I wish my love I wish
على بالى على بالى ابن بلدى على بالى
I wish I wish son of my country I wish
وعلى بالى على بالى حبيبى على بالى
I wish I wish my love I wish
على بالى على بالى ابن بلدى على بالى
I wish I wish son of my country I wish

مين يصحى فى الفجريه يأدنلك
Who wakes up at dawn doing the adhaan
قوم يا مؤمن قوم واشكر ربك
Get up muslim, get up and thank your lord
مين فى المحنه يقف جنبك
Who in your hardship stands next to you
ويقولك ربك بكره يعدلها فى اوانها
And tells you your lord will fix it tomorrow

لا يا مصرى لا ولا لا والف لا
No oh egyptian, no and no, and a thousand no
تهجر بلدك وتسبنا بلدك بيك اولى
Abandon your country and leave us, your country has a right on you

على بالى على بالى حبيبى على بالى
I wish I wish my love I wish
على بالى على بالى ابن بلدى على بالى
I wish I wish son of my country I wish
وعلى بالى على بالى حبيبى على بالى
I wish I wish my love I wish
على بالى على بالى ابن بلدى على بالى
I wish I wish son of my country I wish

And you wont get a faster translation then that

....the music and its melody are great.....and now i discover the lyrics, i find some part of it is amazingly beautiful.. ..while another part of it makes me wonder.....
..i feel quite astonished now........ *

.......oh thank you..thank you so..
xxxx.
*

...and..ok now,..i'll say it in a more regular way..which means using your pseudo, which..i like :
.......Thank you VivaPalestina...
..of course Viva..
And may peace come over there.
xxxx.
*

.....well....i feel so surprised and touched about this song..
..i sense a lot could be said about the lyrics....much to think about.... ......i never went to Egypt..nor to Alexandria.... And yet, my feeling to it is very special. .....and would be too long to confide about it down here..

فين تلاقى الضحكه الحلوه
Where will you find the pretty laugh
ضحكه من القلب والعين سوا
A laugh from the heart and eyes together
فين تلاقى العيون السوده
Where will you find the black eyes
جمالهم غنوه والكلام عنهم حقيقه
Their beauty is a song, and the words are true

..oh i know that beauty. I know those eyes from Egypt. I do. With my heart & soul.
And i love this.

......thanks again to you..VivaPalestina. Thank you.
xxxx.

You're so very welcome dear Eirenee

Are you egyptian?

......may i be daughter of Alexandria through my family's past and love.
I listen to the song again..lovely song.....and i read the lyrics again. .....I just discover them....and i think quietly to myself. .....Citizens of Egypt are not all muslims. Maybe some of the muslim people may belong to Egypt. But Egypt does not belong to one religion. And religion is by nature intimate and a private affair. Egypt belongs to its history, its Wonders, its people.....and their beauty.
May Egypt be well taken care of. With peace. And open-minded Love. Soul. Not narrow-minded fate, no. History of Egypt and its past are treasures. I too would say, please, don't let it down.
....and don't ever let it darken.
....على بالى
xxxx.

.....i love this song and so, yeah, this is the way i listen to it now.. ..with my own personal way.."people of Egypt..don't let it darken down, this wonderful country.....keep it enchanting...and blossoming...." *
