Nancy Ajram - My Little Birdyنانسي عجرم - عصفوري النونوAsfoury el Nono

I think "Asfour en-Nunu" is probably a specific type of bird but i can't figure out which. I know to "nunu" is to meow but it also just is used to describe something little. I dunno if anyone does let me know.

Nancy Ajram - My Little Birdy The little birdy I loved his voice and color The little birdy I love his voice and color

But why does he no longer sing?
I said maybe he's angry at me
It's as if when he sees me he doesn't know me
And he scowls and covers his eyes

He used to alight on the window
And sing with a voice like an angel
Suddenly he is changed, why?
Why is he bewildered?
My bird of sadness is an angel

When I put him a cage I deprived him of his love
A bird yet he no longer remains flapping in the sky
I eventually angered him because he is...

I used to love him and be delighted by him
As he filled the world with songs
Suddenly he now flees whenever I approach
And he pouts when I want to soothe him

نانسي عجرم - عصفور النونو

عصفور النونو النونو حبيت انا صوته ولونه
عصفور النونو النونو حبيت انا صوته ولونه

لكن ليه مبقاش بيغني
قلت انا يمكن زعلان مني
واما يشوفني ولا يعرفني
و يكشر ويداري عيونو

عصفور النونو النونو حبيت انا صوته ولونه
عصفور النونو النونو حبيت انا صوته ولونه

كان بينقر ع الشباك وبيغني بصوت زي ملاك
فجأة انغير ليه اتحير ليه
يا عصفوري الحزن ملاك
كان بينقر ع الشباك وبيغني بصوت زي ملاك
فجأة انغير ليه اتحير ليه
يا عصفوري الحزن ملاك

ما انا لما حبسته حرمته من حبه
و طيرانه ما بقاش في السما بيرفرف
وانا برده زعلته عشانه

عصفور النونو النونو حبيت انا صوته ولونه
عصفور النونو النونو حبيت انا صوته ولونه

كنت بحبه وبفرح بيه
وبيملا الدنيا بأغانيه
فجأة بيهرب لما بقرب
و يبوز وافضل اداديه
كنت بحبه وبفرح بيه
وبيملا الدنيا بأغانيه
فجأة بيهرب لما بقرب
و يبوز وافضل اداديه

ما انا لما حبسته حرمته من حبه
و طيرانه ما بقاش في السما بيرفرف
وانا كنت سبب احزانه

عصفور النونو النونو حبيت انا صوته ولونه
عصفور النونو النونو حبيت انا صوته ولونه

Nancy Ajram - Refill Cardنانسي عجرم - كارت شحنKart Shahan

To give some background, in most of the Arab world people don't have telephone plans with unlimited weekend and that stuff you buy refill cards and pay by the minute with prepaid cards. I'm intrigued by the fact that the writers of this album found wasting phone time and talking to much to be a big enough problem among children to address it in a song.

Nancy Ajram - Refill Card Please oh mommy, oh mommy Oh mommy I need a refill card for the phone Please oh mommy, oh mommy Oh mommy I wanna call my friends myself on the phone

Call your friends and play and be happy in your youth
Call your friends and play and be happy in your youth
But don't you dare waste your time and abandon your lesson and your book
You will be succesful in life if you manage your time
Meaning the phone has its time and place but don't talk too much

You chatter too much and what's the solution
You'll find your friends grow bored of you
If only you know from now on that good talk is neither too much nor too little

If you want to be happy don't say anything to upset anyone
And say reasonable and useful things and don't waste precious time

Nancy Ajram - Good Boyنانسي عجرم - شاطرShater

"Shater" generally means clever or smart but saying it to a child in this context i think it has the connotations of when we say "good boy" and pat kids on the head in English, or maybe even "addaboy" however that's spelled. I guess this is the other side of the coin to Haifa Wehbe's "Naughty"...

Nancy Ajram - Good Boy Hey who wants me to sing the song "Good Boy?" YAAAAAAAAAA He who listens to what his family says What do we tell him? Good boy, good boy He who sits and behaves by himself What do we tell him? Good boy, good boy

He who succeeds in his school and doesn't torment his teachers we love him
And we continue telling him clever, clever

He who listens to what his family says
What do we tell him?
Good boy, good boy
He who sits and behaves by himself
What do we tell him?
Good boy, good boy
He who helps his friends
What do we tell him?
Good boy, good boy
He who never lies in his life
What do we tell him?
Good boy, good boy
He who doesn't break his toys
What do we tell him?
Good boy, good boy
And he who eats without getting any on his clothes
What do we tell him?
Good boy, good boy

Nancy Ajram - He Scribbled and Doodledنانسي عجرم - شخبط شخابيطShakhbat Shakhabeet

Ok so here the intro dialogue to Nancy's kid song video here translated but I'm going to bother transliterating the words...

Once upon a time a long time ago the sun laughed and the moon did not sleep. And in the houses there were colors and children and beautiful songs. (Kid) Where?. (Nancy) There, in dreams. (Kid) What are dreams? (Nancy) Dreams are here (points to head). (Kid) Here? (points to head). (Nancy ignoring the girl) In the dreams there was a boy who angered his neighbors. He was always making a mess. (Kid) What was his name? (Nancy) His name was, his name was... (Kid) Hamada! (Nancy) Yes Hamada, bravo. So Hamada loved colors. All of them green, blue, red, yellow. Somtimes he would draw a sparrow and a beautiful landscape. He would doodle with all the colors....

Nancy Ajram - He Scribbled and Doodled He doodled and scribbled and made a mess He grabbed the crayons and drew on the wall He doodled and scribbled and made a mess He grabbed the crayons and drew on the wall

What am I going to do with you Hamada who did this bad habit?
What am I going to do with you Hamada who did this bad habit?
I want you to draw
Draw but without scribbling on the wall

Draw a tree and a harbor and seas but on the board
Tomorrow you'll be a famous artist
And we'll want to take our pictures next to you
Draw a tree and a harbor and seas but on the board
Tomorrow you'll be a famous artist
And we'll want to take our pictures next to you
I hope you grow up and become Picasso
He too was once a child
But don't scribble on the wall

Draw and dream of the future
For he who dreams will one day achieve
And that which is coming in your life will be most beautiful
You have my love
Take your pens and crayons and brush and draw with them
But on your tablet not on the wall

نانسي عجرم - شخبط شخابيط

مسك الالوان ورسم ع الحيط
شخبط شخابيط لخبط لخابيط
مسك الالوان ورسم ع الحيط

Nancy Ajram - Cuteنانسي عجرم - كتكوتةKatkouta

Nancy has a new album out for kids with a couple songs. This is the second one seen in the video released with the songs. Here is the lines before the song after the first song ends if you're watching the video.

And there was in the dreams a little girl. And her mom used to tell her stories (Kid) What was her name? (Nancy) Her name was, her name, her name... (Kid) Her name was Hala! (Nancy) Hala hehehe

Nancy Ajram - Cute Sweet, pretty and cute darling little thing This darling of mine is the most beautiful little girl Sweet, pretty and cute darling little thing This darling of mine is the most beautiful little girl She loves her dad and her mom And never fights with her friends She loves her dad and her mom And never fights with her friends And because of her preciousness and delicacy I stay up all night and tell her a little story

Once upon a time there was a beautiful girl just like you
Once upon a time there was a beautiful girl just like you
She studied, succeeded, played, had fun, played music and drew with crayons
Her heart was filled with feeling and she wished well upon everyone
Because of this they loved her and they told us this little story

Once upon a time a boy traveled the seas and the countries
Once upon a time a boy traveled the seas and the countries
He loved wisdom and when he learned to long for his country and his people he returned
He loved wisdom and when he learned to long for his country and his people he returned
He said with wisdom I will help people and serve them
Because of this they loved him and they told us this little story

Free Baby - Where's Dad?فري بيبي - بابا فين؟Baba Feen?

Updated media and translation

This is a wierd one. It's kid song by the production group Free Baby from Egypt that makes songs featuring the voices of children. This particular song is a situation in which a guy calls looking for the children's father and asks for Baba (Dad). He identifies himself as "'Amu," which can mean "his uncle" but also it is just a way to refer to someone like mister or sir, only more informal. There is confusion of some sort over identification which is the basis for the humor in the song in a couple places so in the translation I leave the words unchanged to try to preserve this confusion. The situation seems to be a house overflowing with unsupervised children. Gotta watch the video to get the full effect.

Free Baby - Where's Dad? 'Amu: Hello? Hello? 'Amu: Hello? Hello? 'Amu: Where's your dad (baba)? Dad (baba) is here, here he his, who should I tell him is calling? 'Amu: Tell him his uncle ('Amu) Uncle ('Amu) who, who do I tell him is calling

'Amu 'Amu 'Amu
Did you see what I got?
'Amu 'Amu 'Amu
Did you see what happened to me?
Did you see what happened to the pencil sharpener
I had it with me
I gave it to my friend
He said "I'll return it"
He took it and lost it
And I told Baba
'Amu: Fine where is he?
Dad's here here his, who should I tell him is calling?
'Amu: Tell him his uncle
Uncle who, who do I tell him is calling
'Amu: Boy, I'm 'Amu

'Amu: Hello
Hello
'Amu: Hello
Hello
'Amu: Who's the little cutie?
I'm Tuta
'Amu: Who's Tuta?
Sister of Butta, Son of Baba
'Amu: I want Baba
Baba is here, here he his, who should I tell him is calling?
'Amu: I'm 'Amu
'Amu who? Who do I tell him is calling?
'Amu: Boy, I'm 'Amu

'Amu, 'Amu, 'Amu
Did you see how pretty I am?
'Amu, 'Amu, 'Amu
Did you see how sweet I am?
I ate cake
I ate chocolate
I broke off a piece and left it for later
The cat ate it
And I told Baba

'Amu: Where's Baba?
Baba is here, here he his, who should I tell him is calling?
'Amu: Tell him 'Amu
'Amu who? Who do I tell him is calling?

'Amu: Hello
Hello
'Amu: Hello
Hello
'Amu: And who are you?
I'm their friend
'Amu: Their friend who?
Lulu their relative
'Amu: Lulu their darling?
Baba is here, here he his, who should I tell him is calling?
'Amu: Tell him 'Amu
'Amu who? Who do I tell him is calling?

'Amu 'Amu 'Amu
Look what I'm gonna tell you?
'Amu 'Amu 'Amu
Are you getting mad?
Listen to a riddle
A cute little one
Went out of the house
And got lost
I know the solution
'Amu: Wow
Lemme give you to Baba
'Amu: Fine where is he?
Baba is here, here he his, who should I tell him is calling?
'Amu: Tell him 'Amu
'Amu who? Who do I tell him is calling?

'Amu: Fine who is Baba??
