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 ↴
Just wait for me where you are
And now when you embrace me like this
You'll forget the whole world
O know it is hard for a promised to wait
An hour passes by and he is still waiting
Every one minute away from you I feel it as if it was 100 years
Now I'll arrive and ask me
Tonight is your birthday my darling
You're making me forget about the whole world
I collected your roses with my own hands
I loved the color of your cheeks
I embraced the bouquet and hold it tight
So I can tell you what's with me
O know it is hard for a promised to wait
An hour passes by and he is still waiting
Every one minute away from you I feel it as if it was 100 years
تأخرت كتير
تأخرت شوية اعذرنى لعندك جاى انطرنى
هلأ لما بتغمرنى راح تنسى كل الدنى
بعرف صعب نناطر وعد تمرؤ ساعة وننطر بعض
عنك كل دقيقة بعد عم حسه ميت سنة
هلأ بوصل واسالنى شو هو اللى اخرنى
ليلة عيدك تقبرنى نسينى كل الدنى
بعرف صعب نناطر وعد تمرؤ ساعة وننطر بعض
عنك كل دقيقة بعد عم حسه ميت سنة
بأيدى ورودك نقيتا لون خدودك حبيتا
غمرت الباقة وشديتا حتى تقلك شو بنى
بعرف صعب نناطر وعد تمرؤ ساعة وننطر بعض
عنك كل دقيقة بعد عم حسه ميت سنة

Excuse me I'm a little bit late
I'm sorry for being tardy
Just wait for me where you are
Please don't move, stay where you are
And now when you embrace me like this
When you hold me tight like this
You'll forget the whole world
Everything else will fade away
O know it is hard for a promised to wait
I understand it's difficult to wait for someone
An hour passes by and he is still waiting
Even after an hour, he's still patiently waiting
Every one minute away from you I feel it as if it was 100 years
Time passes so slowly when I'm not with you
Now I'll arrive and ask me
When I finally get there, you can ask me
What took me so long
Why did it take me so much time
Tonight is your birthday my darling
Today is your special day, my love
You're making me forget about the whole world
You're the only thing on my mind right now
I collected your roses with my own hands
I picked your flowers myself
I loved the color of your cheeks
Your rosy cheeks are so beautiful
I embraced the bouquet and hold it tight
I hugged the flowers close to me
So I can tell you what's with me
To give you this gift
