Lyrics - Transliteration

(Folk song from Lebanon)

Tafta hindi, tafta hindi,
Shash hariri ya banat
Iftahili ya sabiya
Endi bida lil sit-tat

English Translation – Indian Taffeta

Indian taffeta, Indian taffeta,
Silk and linen I sell here.
Open (the door) for me, pretty girls,
I have goods to sell you.

Arabic – تفتة هندي

بفتة هندي بفتة هندي شاش عريض يا بنات
افتحوا لي يا صبايا ولا اخش من الشباك
افتحي لي يا صبية عندي بضاعة للستات
