Natacha Altas - He Hesitated

Natacha Altas is a Belgian singer who is famous for her fusion of Arabic and Western electronic music. She has Moroccan, Egyptian and Palestinian origin. That is why her music is mixed in those dialects. This song is about war...I think!
If you are interested, you can search a movie called "Amreeka" on youtube. It talks about a mother who took her son to America to start their new life. Full of Shami dialect!haha




Arabic lyrics:

Ana shofto hinak
Wa2if lawa7do
Biybos lil bab
O kan biyfakar
Aiwa wela la2
Yibda2 darb ilnar

Ana shayfa
Wa2if 3ind il bab
Byis2al nafso
O kan biyfakar
Aiwa wela la2
Yibda2 darb ilnar
Aaah kan mitar
Byis2al nafso
Aiwa wela la2
Yibda2 darb ilnar
Aiwa wela la2
Aiwa wela la2
Yibda2 darb ilnar

Ana shofto
Ana shofto
Ana shoftooo hinak
Wa2if lawa7do
Biybos lil bab
Kan biyfakar
Aiwa wela la2
Yibda2 bdarb ilnar
Aiwa wela la2
Yibda2 bdarb ilnar

English translation :

I saw him there
Standing alone
Looking at the door
Thinking
Yes or no
Shall he start firing?


Aaah he had to
Ask himself
Yes or no
Shall he start firing?
Yes or no
Shall he start firing?
Yes or no
Yes or no
Shall he start firing?


I saw him
I saw him
I saw him there
Standing alone
Asking himself
Thinking
Yes or no
Shall he start firing?
Yes or no
Shall he start firing?
