Learn Egyptian Arabic From Samira Said: Aweeny Beek

Okay, so she's getting a bit old school now but I've always been a fan of the Arab singer, Samira Said. 🙂

She's a Moroccan singer who sings in the Egyptian dialect and this is one of my favorite songs of hers. The expression that jumped out at me when I first heard this song a while back was the part where she says, "everything inside me calls/cries out to you".

In Arabic there are a few different ways to say 'call' but this particular verb (نـده) is to literally call or shout out to someone so it's a powerful analogy.

I live for you

What would my life be without you?

Yes, I live to love you

I found all my dreams with you

With you, my love, life is life

What was before you I don't remember

and I don't want what's after you

I want to live my life with you

Forget my fear and my weakness

In (between) your hands

Strengthen me (with you)

Strengthen my heart so it lives

My life after you is worthless

I've been waiting for you for so long

Strengthen me

I want to hide you in my eyes

I want to live for you and die for you

What would my life be without you?

Every day

I live before you is gone

Inside your embrace I rest

and what's happened

I've forgotten

What's better than living with you

and what I feel when I'm beside you?

What I was before you I don't know

I'll only be for you

Everything inside me cries out to you, my love

Strengthen me (with you)

Strengthen my heart so it lives

My life after you is worthless

I've been waiting for you for so long

Strengthen me

I want to hide you in my eyes

I want to live for you and die for you

What would my life be without you?

Strengthen me (with you)

Strengthen my heart so it lives

My life after you is worthless

I've been waiting for you for so long

Strengthen me

I want to hide you in my eyes

I want to live for you and die for you

What would my life be without you?
