Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
قبل كنا نلعب بالفريج
انا ورشود خلود جسوم عبود نلحقلا عالبرييييد
الحين بس قاعدلي شذي
بس يبي يطلبلي هارديز
خلك من التلفون
يا حبيبي ما اتفقنا على شذيييي
الواوية واوي بنات الشاوية
وشداش زي الفراري
رفيجي. لابس بلنتي
With easy
Thats easy
جنك امريكي
on tv
قولو قولو قولو والله
قولو قولو يلا يلا يلا
شان زين
In Sons Of Yusuf's song One Time, the lyrics paint a picture of nostalgia and reminiscence about simpler times when life was uncomplicated and the friendships were pure. The opening line translates to "let's remember the good old days." The singer then tells a story of playing with friends named Rashaad, Kholoud, Jassoome, and Aboud, and chasing after the mailman. But nowadays, life is different with the main preoccupation being getting fast food from Hardee's. The singer asks a friend to stop calling and reminds them that they had agreed not to bother them.
The next lines shift to a reference to the Awalia and Shawia tribes in Kuwait. The singer states that if one is not related to the Awalia tribe, then it is not worth concerning oneself with their girls. They also joke about a friend's fashion, who is "sporting" a traditional outfit called "blanti," saying that they look comfortable. The singer then sarcastically mentions how easy it would be to live like an American, as seen on TV. The song concludes with a repetitive chorus urging the listeners to speak up and dance while mentioning the name "shan zain" repeatedly.
Overall, the lyrics of One Time exemplify the longing for a simpler, idealized past while acknowledging the changes in contemporary life. The song blends colloquial Arabic and Kuwaiti culture with a touch of humor and irony.
