lyrics

[English below]

بعد العشا يحلى الهزار والفرفشة
يا حلو ساكن وادي القمر
بعد العشا .. يحلى الهزار والفرفشة
يا حلو ساكن وادي القمر .. زعلت من غير سبب
انسى اللي فات وتعالى بات
مستنظراك ليلة التلات
بعد العشا
بعد العشا يحلى الهزار والفرفشة
تلقى الحكاية موضبة
بإيدي قايدة الكهربا
واقعد معاك على هواك
ولا فيش هناك غيرنا ومفيش غيرنا وبلاش كتر الخشا
أوعى تسهيني بقى
واحنا في عز النغنغة
وتمد إيد وهزار يزيد عارفاك أكيد
إيدك تحب الزغزغة
بعد العشا يحلى الهزار والفرفشة

Late in the evening
Is a time to laugh and be merry
Remember Wadi al-Qamar, my pretty?
You were upset with me for no reason
Forget what’s over and done with,
come and spend the night
I’ll expect you on Tuesday
Tuesday, late in the evening
You’ll find things all ready
Electricity in my hands
And I’ll sit with you at your pleasure
There’ll be nobody there but us
And no cause to be shy
But don’t you distract my attention
While we’re having a fine time
You’ll be free with your hands
and make even merrier
I know what you’re like
Your hands like to play
Late in the evening
Is a time to laugh and be merry
