ما هو الون الشمالي .
إن كانت غنوة للي بروحك بتفديه سمّعنا صوتك العالي.
يالعااااااااااااالي.
قلي يا ولدي ايش اللون الي تغني.
ما هو الون الشمالي .
إن كانت غنوة للي بروحك بتفديه سمّعنا صوتك العالي.
يالعاااااااااااااالي.
قلت أنا هون شايف انت الوحيد الي مش خايف مع الفرسان بتسايف عيني عليك عيني...
قلي يا ولدي ايش اللون الي تغني.
ما هو الون الشمالي .
إن كانت غنوة للي بروحك بتفديه سمّعنا صوتك العالي.
يالعاااااااااااااالي.
قلت أنا هون حاسس الجماعة راسهم يابس و بيعتمد شو لابس و أنا من هون.
أنا هون اتطمن الرأي العام متسمم مش حاب أتسرع و أعمم على شان اللوم.
انا لا شيخ ولا عالم أنا بس حاس في سوء تفاهم.
و تافهين مننجر وراهم.
بس بلاااااااااااش اليوم!
قلي يا ولدي ايش اللون الي تغني.
ما هو الون الشمالي .
إن كانت غنوة للي بروحك بتفديه سمّعنا صوتك العالي.

The lyrics of "Sahib El Ra'i" by El Far3i convey a sense of societal responsibility and a desire for change. The singer is questioning the singer about what message he is trying to convey through his music, suggesting that if it is a message worth sacrificing for, he should raise his voice and make it heard loudly. The phrase "yalaali" (oh high one) keeps recurring throughout the song, perhaps as an encouragement to aim higher and to not be complacent with the status quo.
The singer then responds by saying that he is well aware of the state of the world around him, where people are superficial and judgemental, and where misunderstandings can easily escalate. He confirms that he wants to make a change for the better but recognizes the need for caution and nuance in his approach, lest he be misunderstood.
Overall, the song seems to call for greater accountability and strong leadership in the face of societal challenges, encouraging people to raise their voices and to aspire for greatness.

muck segler He told me "son, what style do you sing in? It is not the local style." "But if this song is about the one you'd sacrifice your life for, then let us listen to your great voice, oh you nice one"

I said I'm here noticing that you don't like every one around here, but trust me, you'd like me, and I'm from these parts
I here see that you're the only one who's not afraid, you fight with the knights, I admire you for that
He told me "son, what style do you sing in? It is not the local style." "But if this song is about the one you'd sacrifice your life for, then let us listen to you great voice, oh you nice one"
I said here I notice and feel that people around here are stubborn, and judge you based on what you are wearing, I am originally from around these parts
I am here and be assured, the public opinion is poisonous, and I don't want to jump to generalizations, because people will say "you shouldn't have said that"
I am not a scholar nor a scientist, but I feel that there are misunderstandings, and there are silly people that we believe what they say, but let's not talk about this today
