Lyrics - Transliteration
(Folk song from Egypt)
Baba gai emta?
gai alsaaeah sitah
rakib wala mashi?
rakib bisuklatih
humruh wala baydah?
bayduh zi alqishtih
wasaeawlah alsikah
vazarboleh salam
ya salam ya salam ya salam
English Translation - When is Dad coming?
When is Dad coming?
He’s coming at 6 o’clock.
Is he riding or walking?
He’s riding a bicycle.
Is it white or red?
It’s white like cream.
Widen the track for him.
And salute him.

Arabic - بابا جاي امتى
بابا جاي امتى
جاي الساعه سته
راكب ولا ماشي
راكب بسكلته
Øمره ولا بيضه
بيضه زي القشطه
وسعوله السكه
واضربوله سلام
يا سلام يا سلام يا سلام
