Arabic Songs: Asalah (Aktar)


My favourite Arabic singer is the beautiful singer Asalah. She's Syrian but she often sings in the Egyptian dialect and is hugely popular throughout the middle east - if you're reading this blog I'm sure you'll already have heard of her, or you're already a fan, as she even has a massive non-Arab fan base all over the world. I love this video, translated by MeroMusicTv of Youtube. She just seems so happy and likeable here! I'll put up the Arabic lyrics here with a few important vocabulary words from the song, since it's a really easy song this might be best for beginners.

قابلت عنيه..نادانى
حبيبى معاك
حياتى وعمرى اللى انا عايشاه ... واجمل واصعب قولة اه..يسيبني واحس انى انا 
وياه..ثوانى

اكتر من اللى انا بحلم بيه..مش قادره اخبى انا تانى عليه..ده انا من اول ما 
قابلت عنيه..نادانى
حبيبى معاك
حياتى وعمرى اللى انا عايشاه ... واجمل واصعب قولة اه..يسيبني واحس انى انا 
وياه..ثوانى

وداريت على قلبي واتمنيت
قلبك يجيني ويقول
كل اللي حاسس بيه

و اهو بان الشوق عليا اهو بان
و اهو كل شيء بأوان
قال إيه بخبي عليه


وياك .. لو حتى وانت بعيد .. الشوق إليك بيزيد .. وافضل أفكر فيك
لو أقول .. عنك كلامي يطول .. وافضل سنين وأيام .. أوصف غرامي أنا بيك


اكتر من اللى انا بحلم بيه..مش قادره اخبى انا تانى عليه..ده انا من اول ما 
قابلت عنيه..نادانى
حبيبى معاك
حياتى وعمرى اللى انا عايشاه ... واجمل واصعب قولة اه..يسيبني واحس انى انا 
وياه..ثوانى
