Yallah tnam Rima
Dorsaf Hamdani Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

يلا تنام ريما يلا يجيها النوم
يلا تحب الصلاة يلا تحب الصوم
يلا تجيها العوافي كل يوم بيوم
يلا تنام، يلا تنام لأذبح لها طير الحمام
روح يا حمام لا تصدّق بضحك عَ ريما لتنام
ريما، ريما الحندقّة شعرك أشقر ومنقّى
واللي يحبك بيبوسك اللي بغضك شو بيترقّى
يا بياع العنب والعنبية، قولوا لإمّي قولوا لبيّي
خطفوني الغجر من تحت خيمة مجدلية
والتشتشة، والتشتشة والخوخ تحت المشمشة
وكلّ ما هبّ الهوا لأقطف لريما مشمشة




هي، هي، هي لِنا دستك لكنِك عيرينا
تانغسّل ثياب ريما وننشرهن ع الياسمينة
