Naweelak

Revenge

chorus:
naweelak ala neya
I have plans of revenge on you
bas inta esboro swaiya
just you wait a little
eh da ma'llagak fe wahawak yosir bidayah
what keeps you with him, and your love will be in my hand
naweelak ala neya
I have plans of revenge on you

eh walah lashghel afkarak
in God's name engage your mind
wa ash'l bil howa narak
and I will kindle your fire with love
wa saken qalbi begarak
and I settle my heart beside you
wa a'limak el romanseya
and I'll teach you romance
naweelak ala neya
I have plans of revenge on you
repeat chorus

waqt asma ana ahebbak
when I hear "I love you"
besidg ygulha qalbak
I believe the speech of your heart
wa ashuff el shog yla'bak bilraha wa bilgayh
and I see the love playing with you - going and coming
naweelak ala neya
I have plans of revenge on you
repeat chorus

I'm very grateful for all my friends, who helped me to translate the lyrics of this song. None of my friends is a professional Arabic-English translator: some of them are fluent in Arabic, some in English and a few - my self included - have some skill in both languages. It's often quite challenging to express both the idea and the literal meaning of the lyrics in a few words, as I consider it most useful to dancers that the translation include both these aspects.
