Oum Kalthoum - Sing For Me a Little (English translation)
Sing for me a little, a little
Sing for me, take my eyes
Make me sing a tune
That the audience sways for
And the branches flutter for
The narcissus with the jasmine
And travels with the caravans and traverses the deserts
A little, a little
The singer is the life of the soul
The sick man hears him and gets betterOum Kalthoum - Ghanili Shway Shway - http://motolyrics.com/oum-kalthoum/ghanili-shway-shway-lyrics-english-translation.html
And he treats the wounded liver (livers are more important in Arabic than in English)
The doctors are perplexed by it
And he clears the away the darkness of night
Letting light into the eyes of the lovers
A little, a little
I promise you by God ('lord of the house' ie the Kaaba)
Oh you who believes in God
I'll exchant you if I sing
And make the girls of the village dance
A little, a little
