The song "Ida" by Khaled, Rachid Taha & Faudel is a lively and passionate Arabic pop song. The title "Ida" means "If" in Arabic, and the song is about the feelings of love and longing, and the question of whether the person they love will reciprocate those feelings. The opening lines "Chaâlti nar, fi guelbi" mean "You set me on fire in my heart". The repetition of these lines throughout the song emphasizes the intensity of the emotions being expressed.
