Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Happy birthday to you

انزل يا جميل في الساحة
و اتمختر كدا بالراحة
ا نا اقد عينيك مع ا ني
نظرت عنيك د باحة

مالك طالع بالعالي

يا مالي قلبي ليالي
امرك يا جميل

Happy birthday to you

يا وعدي على الايام دي
من غير ما نحس تعدي
تاخد اكتر ما بتدي
و انا و يا الايام وحدي
يا قمر الليل
يا قمر الليل الوردي
شاور للنجمة تهاد
امرك يا جميل

يا ربيع الحلم الاخضر
ان كان عالصبر رح اصبر
هات ايديك و افتح قلبك
الدنيا حتسهر جنبك
يا بحر ملوش
يا بحر ملوش نهاية

قلبي ملاح و حكاية
امرك يا جميل

انزل يا جميل في الساحة
Come down, O beautiful one, to the courtyard

و اتمختر كدا بالراحة
And strut confidently with ease

ا نا اقد عينيك مع ا ني
As I offer you my eyes with mine

نظرت عنيك د باحة
And gaze at you from the courtyard

مالك طالع بالعالي
Why are you looking up high?

يا مالي قلبي ليالي
My heart is yours, my nights

امرك يا جميل
Your command, O beautiful one

يا وعدي على الايام دي
O my promise for these days

من غير ما نحس تعدي
May they pass by unnoticed

تاخد اكتر ما بتدي
May you receive more than you give

و انا و يا الايام وحدي
And I, alone with time
