This breezy beach song by Egyptian singer-songwriter Abu is currently the 3rd most popular Arabic music video on YouTube.
At sunset, as I stood looking out to sea | وقت غروب الشمس واقف على البحر بعيد |
Talking and complaining to the sea, explaining and repeating | عمال بحكيله وأشكيله وأشرح وأعيد |
All of a sudden I found her, thinking she was a mermaid | فجأة لاقيتها وكنت فاكرها عروسة البحر |
Emerging from the sea, her gaze was more potent than magic | خارجة من المايه وطلتها أقوى من السحر |
When I saw her, my heart beat three beats | لما شفتها قلبي دق تلات دقات |
The drum entered and played things in my head | والطبلة دخلت لعبت جوا دماغي حاجات |
The tambourine entered and softened my heart, and I began to yearn | لما الرق دخل قلبي رق وحنيت |
What could I do? I went and sang | طب هأعمل إيه رحت أنا غنيت |
I never imagined that love would touch my heart | أمتى الحب طال … قلبي ولا في الخيال |
A poem could be written about your figure | عودك ده فيه يتقال … مواااااال |
Oh my dear, oh my lord, those days | ويا عيني ياااااا … يا سيدي على الأيام |
When our hearts give us love, suddenly all the past seems insignificant | لما تهادي قلوبنا غرام فجأة يهون كل اللي فات |
I found a conflict break out inside me on the spot | ولاقيت جوايا خناقة كبيرة قامت على طول |
My mind held me back, my heart told me to go talk to her | عقلي يعقلني وقلبي يقولي روحلها قول |
In a matter of seconds, my heart emerged as the winner | مخدتش ثواني وكان قلبي طالع كسبان |
I went and told her that I was passionately in love | رحت وقلتلها … إن أنا ولهان |
I never imagined that love would touch my heart | أمتى الحب طال … قلبي ولا في الخيال |
A poem could be written about your figure | عودك ده فيه يتقال … مواااااال |
Oh my dear, oh my lord, those days | ويا عيني ياااااا … يا سيدي على الأيام |
When our hearts give us love, suddenly all the past seems insignificant | لما تهادي قلوبنا غرام فجأة يهون كل اللي فات |
Oh my dear, oh my lord, those days | ويا عيني ياااااا … يا سيدي على الأيام |
When our hearts give us love, suddenly all the past seems insignificant | لما تهادي قلوبنا غرام فجأة يهون كل اللي فات |
Months and years have passed, but we have still not forgotten | وتمر شهور وسنين على يومها ومش ناسين |
When and where I saw you, the love of my life | أنا شوفتك أمتى يا حب العمر وشفتك فين |
We come here together to tell our tale to the sea | وبنيجي سوا نحكي حكايتنا هنا للبحر |
About a love story…more potent than magic | عن قصة حب … أقوى من السحر |
I never imagined that love would touch my heart | أمتى الحب طال … قلبي ولا في الخيال |
A poem could be written about your figure | عودك ده فيه يتقال … مواااااال |
Oh my dear, oh my lord, those days | ويا عيني ياااااا … يا سيدي على الأيام |
When our hearts give us love, suddenly all the past seems insignificant | لما تهادي قلوبنا غرام فجأة يهون كل اللي فات |
Oh my dear, oh my lord, those days | ويا عيني ياااااا … يا سيدي على الأيام |
When our hearts give us love, suddenly all the past seems insignificant | لما تهادي قلوبنا غرام فجأة يهون كل اللي فات |
