سكابة lyrics with English translation

والمهرة بتعرف خيالا

And the mare knows how to dream

حرة فكولا حبالا فكولا حبالا

Free as the winds, tied with the strings, tied with the strings

(يابي يابي يابيه يابي يابي يابيه)

(Yabi yabi yabi, yabi yabi yabi)

(يابي يابي يابي يابي يابي يابي)

(Yabi yabi yabi, yabi yabi yabi)

والمهرة بتعرف خيالا يابا نيالا يالا (يالا)

And the mare knows how to dream, Yaba Niyala, Yalla (Yalla)

حرة فكولا حبالا فكولا حبالا (فكولا حبالا)

Free as the winds, tied with the strings, tied with the strings (tied with the strings)

تمشي تتمايل يسحر عيني يما جمالا

She walks and sways, captivating my eyes, oh beauty

انا طحت بحبا يابي شوف دموعي سيالا

I fell in love, Yabi, see my tears flowing

وعفراق الغالي عيني سكابا يادموع سكابا

And apart from the dear, my eyes are shedding tears, oh tears flowing

ملعون اللي قال الدنيي ماهي صعبة وغرابة

Curse the one who said this world is not hard and strange

وتمر سنين الوحدة تكسر ضهري بغيابا

And years of solitude break my back in your absence.

مية غصة وقصة ولسا (لسا)

A hundred pangs and stories, and still (still).

انتي اجمل وحدة وانا مش قد الوحدة

You’re the most beautiful one, and I can’t bear the loneliness.

هيي مرة وحدة بدي عيشا معاكي

Just once, I want to live it with you.

بوسة ع خدي يا الله مين قدي

A kiss on my cheek, oh God, who is as good as me?

بدي تكوني حدي لا ما بعيشا بلاكي

I want you by my side; I can’t live without you.

بذكر لما التقينا شعلت حربي بعينا

I remember when we met, you sparked my war in your eyes.

حلوة بنت اللذينا تعبت حالي

Sweet girl of my desires, I’ve worn myself out.

وحقك مشاعر حسا ما صرتي مرتي هسا

And by your right, feelings that resonated, you’re not my wife yet.

ماعدت سمعت حسا شغلت بالي

I haven’t heard your voice, it consumed my thoughts.

والمهرة بتعرف خيالا يبا نيالا يالا

The mare knows the stallion, oh my beloved, yalla!

حرة فكولا حبالا فكولا حبالا

Free, I break the ropes, oh, I break the ropes!

وعفراق الغالي عيني سكابا يادموع سكابا

And from the precious parting, my eyes are overflowing, oh tears, overflowing!

ملعون اللي قال الدني يابي يابي يابيه

Cursed be the one who said the world is unfair, yabi, yabi, yabi!

ملعون اللي قال الدنيي يابي يابي يابيه

Cursed be the one who said the world is unfair, yabi, yabi, yabi!

يابيه يابي يابي يابي يابي يابيه

Yabi, yabi, yabi, yabi, yabi, yabi!

يابي يابي يابيه يابي يابي يابيه

Yabi, yabi, yabi, yabi, yabi, yabi!

يابيه يابي يابي يابي يابي يابيه

Yabi, yabi, yabi, yabi, yabi, yabi!

تمشي تتمايل يسحر عيني يما جمالا

She walks, swaying, enchanting my eyes, oh, such beauty!

انا طحت بحبا يابي شوف دموعي سيالا

I fell in love, yabi, see my tears flowing!

انتي اجمل وحدة وانا مش قد الوحدة

You're the most beautiful one, and I'm not worthy of solitude.

هيي مرة وحدة بدي عيشا معاكي

Just once, I want to live this with you.

وحقك مشاعر حسا ما صرتي مرتي هسا

And by your right, my feelings you’ve stirred, you’ve become my wife now.

ماعدت سمعت حسا شغلت بالي

I haven't heard your echo, it’s filled my mind.

والمهرة بتعرف خيالا يبا نيالا يالا

And the mare knows the dream, oh what a dream, let’s go.

حرة فكولا حبالا فكولا حبالا

Free, break all the shackles, break all the shackles.

وعفراق الغالي عيني سكابا يادموع سكابا

And in the parting of the dear one, my eyes are overflowing, oh tears are overflowing.

ملعون اللي قال الدني يابي يابي يابيه

Cursed be the one who said, life is tough, oh tough, oh truly tough.
