Joseph Saqer - It's a Bad Situationجوزيف صقر - الحالة تعبانةEl Hale Taabane



Joseph Saqr - It's a Bad Situation

It's a bad situation Layla
Looks like the engagement's off
You're rich, Layla and we're broke

You're in a valley, and we're in another valley
And every moment we're more apart
The floor of our house doesn't even have a carpet
And you're used to walking on feathers (ie something really fancy)

They confused you, they messed with your head
They kept at it until they changed you
They put a royal crown on your head
And you forget those who wear the Fezzes (the people who wear Fezzes or the Tarboush in Lebanon and Syria are the people who live a rural life in the mountains, ie not rich)

Oh I remember when we used to go to see you and you used to come see us
It seems that it's hard for he who has lived in happiness beside you to go back to living by himself

جوزيف صقر وزياد رحباني - الحالة تعبانة

الحالة تعبانة يا ليلى
خطبة ما فيش
انت غنية يا ليلى
ونحنا دراويش

انت بوادي ونحنا بوادي
وكل لحظة بعدنا زيادة
الارض اللي عندنا بلا سجادة
وانت معودة تمشي عالريش

الحالة تعبانة يا ليلى
خطبة ما فيش
انت غنية يا ليلى
ونحنا دراويش

احتاروا فيكي وحيروكي
ضلوا حتى غيروكي
لبسوك تاج ملوكي
ونسيتي اهل الطرابيش

الحالة تعبانة يا ليلى
خطبة ما فيش
انت غنية يا ليلى
ونحنا دراويش

اس الله لمن كنت وكنا
نجي لعندك وتجي لعنا
تاري اللي عاش حدك وتهنى
صعبة يرجع وحده يعيش

الحالة تعبانة يا ليلى
خطبة ما فيش
انت غنية يا ليلى
ونحنا دراويش
خطبة ما فيش ااااه خطبة ما فيش
