ﻛﻞ ﺷﻲ ﺑﻴﺼﻴﺮ ﺑﺮﺍﺕ ﻧﻔﺴﻪ
ﻣﺎ ﺑﻮ شي، ﺷﻮ ﺑﻮ شي
ﻣﺎ ﺑﻮ شي، ﺷﻮ ﺑﻮ شي
ﺣﺒﻴﺒﻲ ﺑﻴﺤﻜﻲ ﺑﺎﻷﺟﻨﺒﻲ
ﻭﺑﻴﻠﺪﻍ ﺑﺎﻟﻌﻐﺒﻲ
ﻣﺎ ﺑﻮ شي، ﺷﻮ ﺑﻮ شي
ﺷﻮﻑ ﺍﻟﻜﺘﺎﺏ ﻋم يتجعدع ﻠﻚ ﺗﺤﺖ ﺍﻟﻤﺨﺪﺓ
ﻭﺭﺍﺋﺤﺔ ﺷﻌﺮﻙ ع اﻟﺸﺮﺷﻒ ﺣﺪﻱ
ﻭﺍﻟﻨﺎﺱ ﺩﺍﺋﺮﺓ ﺑﺴﻴﺎﺭﺍﺗﻬﺎ ﺑﺮﺍﺕ ﺍﻟﺸﺒﺎﻙ
ﻭﺃﻧﺎ ﻗﺎﻋﺪ ﻣﺜﻞ ﺍﻟﺘﺮﺑﺔ ﺿﺎيع ﺑﻴﻦ إيديك
ﻭﺍﻟﻨﺎﺱ ﺩﺍﺋﺮﺓ ﺑﺴﻴﺎﺭﺍﺗﻬﺎ ﺑﺮﺍﺕ ﺍﻟﺸﺒﺎﻙ
ﻭﺃﻧﺎ ﻗﺎﻋﺪ ﻣﺜﻞ ﺍﻟﺘﺮﺑﺔ ﺿﺎيع ﺑﻴﻦ إيديك
ﻭﺍﻟﻨﺎﺱ ﺩﺍﺋﺮﺓ ﺑﺴﻴﺎﺭﺍﺗﻬﺎ ﺑﺮﺍﺕ ﺍﻟﺸﺒﺎﻙ
ﻭﺃﻧﺎ ﻗﺎﻋﺪ ﻣﺜﻞ ﺍﻟﺘﺮﺑﺔ ﺿﺎيع ﺑﻴﻦ إيديك
The lyrics of Mashrou' Leila's song "Habibi" delve into themes of love, desire, and longing, exploring the complexities of romantic relationships and the emotional turmoil that often accompanies them. The song opens with the singer expressing a sense of bewilderment and confusion in love, questioning the nature of their feelings and the uncertainty that clouds their emotions. The repetition of "mabu shi shu, shu baw shi" underscores the internal conflict and ambivalence that the singer is experiencing, struggling to make sense of their emotions and desires.
As the song progresses, the lyrics paint a vivid picture of the tumultuous journey of love, with references to the intensity of passion and the struggles of the heart. The mention of "habibi bihiki bi aljanbi" and "bylido bi al'agabi" alludes to the highs and lows of romantic relationships, highlighting the rollercoaster of emotions that come with loving someone deeply. The repeated refrain of "mabu shi shu, shu baw shi" further emphasizes the emotional confusion and internal turmoil that the singer is grappling with.
The middle section of the song delves into the physical and emotional aspects of love, describing how love can cause one's heart to flutter and their feelings to unravel. The imagery of love causing one's hair to curl and their cheeks to blush evokes a sense of vulnerability and openness in the face of love's power. The mention of holding hands and the tenderness in the lyrics reflect a longing for intimacy and connection, highlighting the deep yearning for emotional closeness and affection.
In the final verses, the lyrics repeat the themes of vulnerability and surrendering to love, with references to the touch of hands and the tender embrace of the beloved. The imagery of intertwining hands and the sense of comfort and security that comes with physical touch convey a message of surrendering to love and allowing oneself to be vulnerable in the presence of the beloved. Overall, "Habibi" by Mashrou' Leila is a poignant exploration of the complexities of love, desire, and emotional intimacy, capturing the ups and downs of romantic relationships with raw honesty and emotional depth.

Ever since I discovered this band some five or six years ago, I have tried to get my friends to appreciate it, but they just don't get it. I don't see how anyone can listen to (and watch) Mashrou Leila and not fall in love with them. I saw them live in Detroit and it was one of the best shows I've ever experienced. I also hear their music in the soundtracks of just about any TV show or movie from Lebanon or Jordan.
Other Favorites of mine:
Tinariwen ⵜⵏⵔⵓⵏ - Tuaregs from Mali, great Rock with a Berber flair
Shahin Najafi - From Iran but lives in Germany. Very eclectic, ranging from rap to pop to classical. Magical voice.
Oum - From Morocco, has also gone through phases, i.e. hip-hop, but has settled on a beautiful style
The Wanton Bishops - From Lebanon, but they do songs in English with a Mississippi Blues flair
If anyone reading this does not know these groups, please check them out. My world has changed drastically since finding them.

Lyrics:
He never blames himself
Everything happens against his will
Nothing's wrong with him ..
What is wrong with him ?
X2
My lover speaks a foreign language
And lisps while speaking aghabic* (arabic)
Look at how the book crumbles under the bed
The smell of your hair on the sheets beside me
People roaming in their cars outside the window
And i'm sitting here like soil , lost between your hands
@sayaya1304
He never blames himself
Everything happens against his will
Nothing's wrong with him ..

The smell of your hair on the sheets beside me
People roaming in their cars outside the window
And i'm sitting here like soil , lost between your hands

@@saidakhaffou5595 Thank you. It's definitely not mainstream, at least not in the world where I live.

How it comes we have so much in common in music ? Also try Labess Algerian folklore mixed with gnawa and try Neta Elkayam Jewish Moroccan music, and if you like some indie/rock oriental try jadal and akher zaphire
@BooLee01
@@zakariabijit4100 Oh, I forgot to mention Neta Elkayam. I do love her music. I will check out the others you've mentioned. Thanks for the suggestions.
