El-Helwa Di

Arabic Lyrics
 
English Translation
El helwa dee amit teagin fel badreya  The beautiful one went to knead in the early morning
We deek beyedan "Kou Kou Kou Kou" fel [bad word]  And the rooster cries "Kou Kou Kou Kou" in the dawn
Yalla bina ala babala, ya sanaye-eya  Let's go with the Grace of God, oh workers
Yeg-al sabahak, sabaheli gher yasta Ateya  Hope your morning will be beautiful, oh master Ateya
 
Sabahe, sabah, fatah ya aleem  Our morning is lovely, God permits it
Wel geeb, mafihshee wala maleem  And our pocket doesn't have one penny
Basil mazaag ra-ye we saleem  But our mood is peaceful and serene
Babel amal babak ya raheem  We are putting all our hope in the hands of God

El Helwa dee aamit taa-gin fil badria
Wideek beinda cu cu cu cu fi il [bad word] Ya-llah binah al-lah ya sa-nay-iah
Yigal sabahak sabah il kher yasta atiyah

Sabah eh sabah fatah ya aleem
(Protect me from this morning)
My pocket is empty of money today
But my mood is good
God give me the light of hope
Patience will change all the bad and you have hope
Even though theyn may have money, poor people have God too.

Ee-dee fi edak ya boo salah
Madam maalah te-ish mertah
Kel-ee it-ti kalak al fatah
Yallah binah it [bad word] ahu laah

Shams tell at / Wel mulkee lelaah
Egre lerizak / Khaleeha al allah
Mat sheel adomak wel adah ou yallah!
