Ajram was born on May 16th, 1983 to Nabil Ajram and Rimonda Oun, as the eldest of two siblings, Nadine Nariman Ajram and Nabil Ajram Jr. She started singing at the age of eight, when she appeared for the first time in 1991 at a singing contest for kids on national television in Lebanon. In 1995, at the age of twelve, Nancy Ajram took part in the entertainment show, Noujoum Al-Moustakbal, ("Stars of the Future"), a Lebanese television musical competition, winning a gold medal in the Tarab category after singing a song by Umm Kulthum.
Ajram studied music following her early success with renowned Lebanese musicians and although she was less than 18 years old, the syndicate of professional artists in Lebanon accepted her as a member because they found her to be an exceptional talent and deserved to be qualified as a professional artist. Shortly afterwards Nancy released her first album, Mihtagalak ("I Need You') in 1998, with most of its songs holding a pure Tarab style, thus starting her music career at the age of 15. It was followed by Sheel Oyoonak Anni ("Take Your Eyes Off Of Me") in 2000, which achieved more success.

ايه؟
انتي يا
لئيم ليه بتبص لي؟
اموت انا
يا قديم يا ابن الارندلي
حلنجي لعبي وماشي على السلك
عامل حنين ومسهوك
وجاي ملهوف متلهوج
الوش ده بأه لا يا حبيبي بأه متلبسوش متلبسوش
متلبسوش وانت جايلي
يلا يا ابن الارندلي
حلنجي لعبي وماشي على السلك
ولا عمره فرق ذاك من تلك
عامل حنين ومسهوك
وجاي ملهوف متلهوج
الوش ده بأه لا يا حبيبي بأه متلبسوش متلبسوش
متلبسوش وانت جايلي
يلا يا ابن الارندلي
اسمعني بس يا عسل
جاي تشتغلي تستغفلني
ولا انت جاي بتستهبلني
شوف يا بابايا لو ليك ضحايا
مش هابقى منهم لو تقتلني
جاي تشتغلي تستغفلني
ولا انت جاي بتستهبلني
شوف يا بابايا لو ليك ضحايا
مش هابقى منهم لو تقتلني
والنعمة لو بايه حلفتلي

وجاي ملهوف متلهوج
الوش ده بأه لا يا حبيبي بأه متلبسوش متلبسوش
متلبسوش وانت جايلي
يلا يا ابن الارندلي

The lyrics of Nancy Ajram's song Ebn El Arandali depict a conversation between two people: one who is angry and accusing the other of being a liar and a cheat. The singer of the song addresses the other as "Ebn El Arandali" or "son of the swallow" in Arabic, which is a term used to describe someone who is untrustworthy and unreliable. The singer is frustrated and hurt by the other person's actions and feels like they are being taken advantage of. Despite this, the singer seems to still have some affection for the person, as they plead with them to stop lying and deceiving.

Hey, wait a minute.
ايه؟
What is it?
انتي يا
You, why are you staring at me?
لئيم ليه بتبص لي؟
Are you trying to be rude by staring at me?
اموت انا
I'm dying.
يا قديم يا ابن الارندلي
Oh, old son of a lowlife.
حلنجي لعبي وماشي على السلك
I'm like a tightrope walker, playing along and walking the line.
ولا عمره فرق ذاك من تلك
But it's no different from that.
عامل حنين ومسهوك
I'm acting nostalgic and enchanted.
وجاي ملهوف متلهوج
And I'm coming with an excited confusion.
الوش ده بأه لا يا حبيبي بأه متلبسوش متلبسوش
This face, oh no my dear don't wear it, don't wear it.
متلبسوش وانت جايلي
Don't wear it when you come to me.
يلا يا ابن الارندلي
Come on, son of a lowlife.
اسمعني بس يا عسل
Listen to me honey.
جاي تشتغلي تستغفلني
Are you trying to trick me?
ولا انت جاي بتستهبلني
Or are you just trying to fool me?
شوف يا بابايا لو ليك ضحايا
Look, if you have victims, I won't be one of them even if you kill me.
مش هابقى منهم لو تقتلني
I won't stay with them even if you kill me.
والنعمة لو بايه حلفتلي
And even if you swear to me.
زبدة يا اخواتي زبدة
My sisters, this is the cream of the crop.
ليه ليه بتبصلي؟
Why are you staring at me?
يا ارض اتهدي
Earth, calm down.
طاوعني بس
Just obey me.
موطي صوتك ليه يا برنس
Why are you raising your voice, prince?
تعبان يا ناس متقمص انس
You're exhausted, pretending to be human.
الكحل من العين يتألف
The kohl from the eye is collected.
بجد يتعب ويغلس
Really tired and worn out.
عاملي فيها قال رشدي اباظة قال
Do it for me, as Rashdi Abaza says.
قولوله ماشي قولوله ماشي
Tell him it's okay, tell him it's okay.
قولوله ماشي ده اللي علي علي
Tell him okay, that's what I'm doing, I'm doing okay.
خلاص بأه
That's enough.
