انا بنت اصول وشرقية
I am a classy girl with Eastern values
وحياتك مية بامية
I swear by your life, 100% so.
محدودة عندي الحرية
Freedom for me is limited1
لو شو ماصار
no matter what happens
انا ربوني امي وبيي
My mother and father raised me well
ووصوني ياحياتي وصية
They taught me, darling,
يلي بحبو بشيلو بعينيي
that I should keep the one I love protected in my eyes
وبمشي عالنار
and walk through fire for them
نسوان الفرن اللي ببالك
The bakery chicks2 that you have in mind
على بعض بيحكو كرمالك
gossip and talk about each other for you
نسوان الحارة بالحارة
The alley women are there in the alley3
الجارة عم تحكي عالجارة
Each neighbor is gossiping about the other
فاضي بالن
Their minds are empty
رايق حالن
They feel undisturbed4
فاضي بالن
Their minds are empty
بزورو بعضن عشيي
They visit one another in the evening,
صبحية بتلحق صبحية
Day after day
انا ماعندي كاني وماني
I am not fond of yapping
وحاسبني اذا انا غلطاني
And you should judge me if I am wrong
عم يحكو عنك
They talk about you
ويقولو انك دوار
And say that you're a playboy
مابدي مين يقلي
I don't need someone to tell me
احساسي عم بيوصلي
My feelings guide me
بعيونك بعرف ياحبيبي
In your eyes I know, darling,
بقلبك شو صار
of what happened in your heart.
