التنورة lyrics with English translation

للي بتقصر تنوره

For the one who shortens her skirt,

تلحقها عيون الشباب

The eyes of the youth follow her.

هي بحالها مغروره

She is inherently so proud,

لا بقلها الكعب العالي

The high heels don’t diminish her charm.

هوا غربي و شمالي

Her vibe is western and northern,

تنورتها شبر و نص

Her skirt is a foot and a half,

و بلوزتها بتلالي

And her blouse sparkles brightly.

لالي لالي لالي

La-li la-li la-li,

كلما تخف بمشيتها

Whenever her steps lighten,

عم تعلى تنورتها

Her skirt rises higher.

غارت منها مواج البحر و جنت لما شافتها

The waves of the sea were envious of her, and madness struck when they saw her,

حالي حالي حالي

My state, my state, my state,

شوفه ترد الشايب شاب

Look how the old man turns young again,

و الختياره فرفوره

And the old woman is lively,

اللي بتقصر تنوره

She who shortens her dress,

بتقصر مابي يهما لابيا و لا اما

She shortens it, she doesn’t care about the beauty of the night or the day,

بتحرقص قلب الشباب

She ignites the hearts of the young,

و لو دابو اخر همااا

And if they melted in the end, oh,

وقت الي ما وفو بتعلي الكل بيصرخ يا دله

When they weren't faithful, everyone screams, 'Oh my darling!'

والله بتوقف لقلوب

By God, hearts stop for her.

ريته تسلم هالطله

I wish she'd greet me with that look

بتمشي ال الموضه هيك

Fashion strolls like this

هي حلوه و معذوره

She's beautiful and excused

اللي بتقصر تنوره

The one who's daring shortens her skirt

الدنيه نار و شعلانه

The world is fire, and it's igniting

و هي منا سألانه

And she's not asking us about it

تنورتها على الميلين

Her skirt's swaying at the hips

ميله بتحاكي التانه

One sway talks to the other

بتمشي و بتهز بخصره

She walks, shaking her waist

كأنه ملكة عصره

As if she's the queen of her era

و بلوزتها ماله لزوم تلت رباعه مختصره

And her blouse is unnecessary, just a three-quarter length summary,

حقي على اهلها حقي مش على التنوره

My right belongs to her family, it's not about the skirt.
