Bos Ala Halawa

Song by Hegazy Metkal

Da baladiw nagawa, nagawa

It’s from our country and has been carefully selected

Da baladiw nagawa, nagawa

It’s from our country and has been carefully selected

Taala doog ya helu baladey

Come and taste, beautiful of my country

Tfarraj al halawa, halawa

Da baladiw nagawa, nagawa

Ma boss alal halawa, halawa

Da baladiw nagawa, nagawa

Taala doog ya helu baladey

Taala doog khodlak sandoog

Watch the beauty

It’s from our country and has been carefully selected

Look at the beauty

It’s from our country and has been carefully selected

Come and taste, beautiful of my country

Come and taste, buy a box

Ya helwa ya shaylal ballas

Oh beautiful who's carrying the (water) pot

Men fadlek dalle esgini

Please, get closer and give me water

Da Galbi yhebbek bekhlas

Cause my heart loves you sincerely

Zai ma weddek, weddeeney

As I treat you nicely, treat me so

Ya helwa ya shaylal ballas

Men fadlek dalle esgini

Da Galbi yhebbek bekhlas

zai ma hebbek, hebbiney

Zai ma weddek, weddeeney

Oh beautiful who’s carrying the (water) pot

Please, get closer and give me water

Cause my heart loves you sincerely

As I love you, love me

As I treat you nicely, treat me so

Agly sharad menny, men jamalek Ya helwa ya, ya zena

I lost my mind because of your beauty Oh beautiful, pretty girl

Lemmil malas lemmi

Ya helwa ya zena, ya zena

Lemmil malas lemmi, lemmi, lemmi, lemmi

Ya helwa ya zena

Agly sharad menny, men jamalek

Ya helwa ya, ya zena

Lift your cloth, lift it

Beautiful, pretty girl

Lift your cloth, lift it

Beautiful, pretty girl

I lost my mind because of your beauty

Oh beautiful, pretty girl

Yalli jamalek ajab, ajab

Ya mahla kholkhalek

Jamal we aglew adab, w adab,

We msharrefa khalek

Addalaal ya bo kohl saba saayeb,

Your beauty is wonderful

How beautiful your anklet is!

Beautiful, sane and polite. You made your uncle proud

How soft and cute you are, hey you wearing natural kohl

How cute you are!

Mayyel wesgeeni ya wad ammi,

Ana mesh ashtan ya wad ammi,

 Get closer, my cousin, and give me water

I’m not thirsty, my cousin, but my love fulfills me

Ya wad, ya wad, ya wad ya wala wala

Hey, girl, Hey girl hey girl!

Men soghre senni wana fel hawa, wala

Since I was young, I've been in love

Anal aleel wentad dawa

I'm the patient and you're the medicine

Ya wad, ya wad, ya wad ya wala wala

Hey, girl, Hey girl hey girl!

Ya wad, ya wad, ya wad ya wala wala

Men soghre senni wana fel hawa, wala

Anal aleel wentad dawa

Ya wad, ya wad, ya wad ya wala

Hey, girl, hey girl, hey girl!

Since I was young, I’ve been in love

I’m the patient and you’re the medicine

Hey, girl, hey girl, hey girl!

Doggy ya sa’aw gooly bel hag,

Hey, clock, ring and trell the truth

Walla ya galby ana same’ dag,

I'm the patient and you're the medicine

Essa’a kam ala baabes seema

What time does the clock at the movies give?

Doggy ya sa’aw gooly bel hag, w gooly bel hag

Walla ya galby ana same’ dag, ana same’ dag

Essa’a kam ala baabes seema,

essa’a kam, essa’a kaam?

Hey, clock, ring and tell the truth

Oh, my heart, I swear I’m hearing beats

What time does the clock at the movies give?

What time is it?
