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.

Nancy Ajram Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
بتحبيه . ايوا ايو وهنكر ليه . ليه
بصولي ملام . وقالولي كلام جراح
فرشولي الارض . فرشولي الارض دموع . والشمس جراح
كل دا كله عاشان حبيت
ولا عاشان قلت انا حبيت
لولا الملامه يا هوى . وآه من الملامه
لولا الملامه يا هوى لولا الملامه
واطير وارفرف بالفضا
واهرب من الدنيا الفضا
وكفايه عمري . كفايه عمري اللي انقضى
وانا بخاف الملامه . وانا بخاف الملامه
وآه من الملامه

Dann geht es ûber fleisch und blut in die ganz welt were wieviel ngehory gesehen 54 miliardy len jeden jediny. OK to môžem neskor a v dobre spolupraci kde peniaze 100 na nadáciou a one ptojekty bezia a len pod mojou kontrolpu. A len ciste darivzne dobrovolne prispevky nic spinaveho zo mna nevide. Ani to hovno. A priatelia smell si eaj menej a viac ako partner. Skusenosti mam s každým vuem kto koho jedy ako odjebal lebo ho bepotreboval, to je zakazany princip chybu robí každý. To nie je problem diskusie ako mudry a skysdny set netreba to trva 100 rokov a jepre starcov. To bolo dvaja Lane a Roland. Ostrich musim pozriet zajtra.😊
