SOUAD MASSI - MY BOYسعاد ماسي - يا وليديYA WLEEDY

imdelgado.blogspot.com - This song is off of Souad Massi's album entitled "Deb." Big thanks to Mohamed Salah who has provided an interpretation of the song in Egyptian Arabic in his blog, so that I can arrive at a translation.

Souad Massi - My Boy You must get up early, my boy And go run off to school, my boy To become learned and educated, my boy And be better than all the other kids, my boy And as you get older, my boy May your mind remain strong, my boy And may you understand the world, my boy Until you have a strong personality, my boy You must get up, get up, early my boy

May you be proud, my boy
And choose whom you talk to and who you don't, my boy
And anyone that upsets you, stay away from him, my boy
And anyone that upsets you, stay away from him, my boy
May you be able to wreak havoc, my boy
And when things get serious, battle
You must get up, get up, early my boy

سعاد ماسي - يا ولدي

لازم تنوض بكري... ياوليدي
وتروح القراية تجري... ياوليدي
باش تخرج لينا قاري... ياوليدي
وتفوت كامل الدراري... ياوليدي
وبتكبر شوية... ياوليدي
وتولي عندك عقلية... ياوليدي
وتولي تفهم الدنيا... ياوليدي
حتى تولي شخصية...
لازم تنوض تنوض تنوض تنوض تنوض تنوض تنوض تنوض تنوض تنوض تنوض بكري

تولي علينا تتكبر... ياوليدي
تخير ما عمن تقصر... ياوليدي
واللي قالقك يتغبر... ياوليدي
واللي قالقك يتغبر... ياوليدي
تولي اتهدم واتخرب... ياوليدي
وفي وقت الصح تحارب... ياوليدي
تولي اتهدم واتخرب... ياوليدي
وفي وقت الصح تحارب...
لازم تنوض تنوض تنوض تنوض تنوض تنوض تنوض تنوض تنوض تنوض تنوض بكري
