Lyrics

Arab transcription
How bi-tul li ya habibti
How bi-tul li ya sitti
How bi-tul li giddan giddan giddan
How bi-tul li “Sa’ida Sultana”
U, le, le, le, le, le, le, le, le, le...
My name’s not Sa’ida

Wa-aul lu e, wa-aul lu a
Wa-aul lu e, wa-aul lu a
Walla ekstasi walla ekstano
Walla ekstasi walla ekstano

One day not long ago
I fell for you
Too easy to let go
She was one from your past
One of a few
You said it didn’t last

Ana ismi Solli Sa’dun
U-fi andi kull
Ana bi-madrasat il-fannanat
Taalu kull ir-rigal
U-bussul bussi
Ana hurriyya wa-mabula kaman

Last day when I saw you 
Smiling at me
It was a very fine day
It seemed you’re coming back
But I was wrong
Then she came, yeah yeah yeah yeah
My name is not Sa’ida!

Ya lahwi, ana kharmana
Wa-almana
Ana sitt il-kull
Sa’ida Sultana
Ilkha uni
My name’s not Sa’ida!

One day not long ago
I fell for you
Too easy to let go
She was one from your past
One of a few
You said it didn’t last

Jozi ismu farid
Rash min zaman
Darabni mil-bet u-al li ana ayyan
Saaluni kull in-nas
Fen jozik fen
Ana mus arfa rashat ala wen


Translation
How do you say “my love” to me
How do you say “my wife” to me
How do you say “very, very, very” to me
How do you say “Sa’ida Sultana” to me
Oh, why, why, why, why, why,...
My name’s not Sa’ida!

And I tell him “what” and I tell him “yes”
And I tell him “what” and I tell him “yes”
Ecstacy or ecsta-no
Ecstacy or ecsta-no

One day not long ago
I fell for you
Too easy to let go
She was one from your past
One of a few
You said it didn’t last

My name is Solli Sa’dun
And I have it all
I’m in actress school
Come, all men
And kiss, kiss
I’m free and accepted too

Last day when I saw you 
Smiling at me
It was a very fine day
It seemed you’re coming back
But I was wrong
Then she came, yeah yeah yeah yeah
My name is not Sa’ida!

Oh heavens, I’m craving
I know
I’m the best
Sa’ida Sultana
Come over to me, everyone
My name’s not Sa’ida!

One day not long ago
I fell for you
Too easy to let go
She was one from your past
One of a few
You said it didn’t last

My husband’s name is Farid
He left a long time ago
He beat me out of the house and said “I’m ill”
Everyone asked me
Where’s your husband
I have no idea where “she” left
