IBM... Arabic version

There's a working culture in the middle east which some refer to as the IBM concept. IBM stands for Insha-allah (God Willing), Bukra (Tommorrow) and Malesh (There's nothing you can do about it, so don't worry). Adhere to it and you'll enjoy your life here. So let's lay back and have a nice Arabic summer.

Nawal El Zoghbi - Andak - Live / نوال الزغبي - عندك - حفلة




Catchy song seen on Arab Idol, sung by popular Lebanese singer Nawal El Zoghbi.


Lyrics:


عندك وحاسب في كلامك
3andak we 7asib fe kalamak

step back and watch your words

ده أنا أحلامك
da ana a7lamak

I'm your dreams

في حد يجرح أحلامه
fe 7ad yegra7 a7lamo ?

is there anyone who hurt their dreams ?

و جنته تكون قدامه
w ganeto tkoon 2odamo

and his heaven is right in front of him

و يسيبها ويروح على ناره
w yseebha w yroo7 3ala naro

he leaves it and go to his hell

عندك وحاسب في كلامك و أنا قدامك
3andak we 7asib fe kalamak

step back and watch your words

أنا فرصه لو هتضيعها
ana forsa law ha etdaya2ha

I'm a chance that if you lost it ...

مش سهل تاني ترجعها
mush sahl tani etraga3ha

it won't be easy to have it back again

واتحمل اللي هتختاره
we et7ammil elli ha te5taro

and handle for what you will choose 

بالشكل ده هزهق كده
bel shakl da ... hazha2 kida

in this way ... I will be bored

ما أنا ع الدلع متعوده
ma ana 3a-dala3 met3aweda

I'm used to be spoiled

ما أنا قولتها وكررتها
ma ana 2oltaha w karrartaha

I said it, and repeated it

عشقااك
3ash2ak

I'm in love with you


خليك بقى حلو معايا يعني كفايه
5aleek ba2a 7ilw ma3aya, ya3ni kfaya

be nice to me ... I mean enough ..

زعل وغيره على الفاضي
za3l w '3eera 3al fadi

sadness and jealousy for nothing

عايزاك حبيبي تكون هادي
3ayzak 7abebi tkoon hadi

I want you to be quiet my darling

اعقل بقا وخليك شاطر
e32al ba2a w 5aleek shatir

calm down and be a good boy

مين قالك الصوت العالي غير حالي
meen 2allak el soat 3ali '3air 7ali

who told you the voice is loud other than me

ادخل عليا بحنيه هديك حياتي وعنيا
ed5ol 3alayya be 7ineya ... hadeek 7ayati w 3enaya

come to me with tenderness ... I will give you my life and my eyes

ما انا قولتلك خليك فاكر
ma ana 2oltellak 5aleek fakir

I told you, keep it in mind
