Taala
Donia Massoud Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

قالت تَقصُد ايه يا اللي انت بتغازَلنا
واقف في طريقنا ان كان طلعنا نزَلنا
مواعدين بعضَنا من صغرَنا وما زلنا
ما نفوت بعضنا حتى التراب يعزلنا

نعناع الجنينة المسقي في حيضانه
شجر الموز طرح ضلل على عيدانه

امبارح العصر جرس البرنسيس رنه

Overall Meaning

The first part of the song is about a woman confronting a man who is flirting with her, asking what his intentions are by standing in her way. The woman then reminds the man that they have known each other since childhood and have always made plans to meet, suggesting that they should not miss the opportunity to see each other. She affirms the strength of their friendship by saying that they will never be separated, even if they were to be buried in different places.

The second part of the song features a description of a garden in Egypt, with spearmint and banana trees. Meanwhile, a bell had rung in princess' palace the day before. These verses provide a contrast from the preceding narrative by taking us away from the tense conversation and reminding us of the beauty of Egypt.

Overall, the song seems to celebrate the importance of friendship and maintaining connections with one's roots, while also appreciating the local beauty and inspiring imagery of Egypt.
