Get your dancin' shoes!

[UmmSqueakster 54]

Ok, no word back yet from my husband. Little known fact actually, for a few years after college, my husband had a band and sang at weddings in Egypt He's hoping to find an arab wedding band in our area that he can play around with for fun.

In my husband's opinion, Amr Diab's best album is Aktar Wahed, and in my humble opinion, Aktar Wahed is the best song on that album. Lots of ME songs have lyrics very appropriate for weddings, and this one is no exception. You can listen to all of his songs here.

Aktar Wahed translates as the one who loves you the most

Chorus:

Ana aktar wahed beyhebak.

I'm the one who loves you the most.

Fel donia we tool omri bahebak.

In the whole world, and I'll love you forever.

We fe garhak, farhak, ana ganbak.

And in your suffering, and your joy, I am beside you.

We be omri ya omri ana wala shareek.

I swear, I would give my life for your sake.

Ana aktar wahed albo aleik.

I'm the one whose heart feels for you the most.

Ana donietak, ana melk edeik.

I am your world, I am your servant.

Enta elli men bein kol el nas

You are the one, from the midst of all people,

Metalaq beek, we bafakar feek.

That I'm hooked on and am thinking of.

(Chorus)

Ya habibi arab shoof be eneik.

My darling, come close, look with your own eyes.

Ana ganbi menak, ana hawaleik.

I'm right next to you, I'm surrounding you.

Alashan eioonak, omri yehoon.

Because for your eyes, my life isn't enough.

Ya habibi yehoon, wala yeghla aleik.

My darling, it's not enough nor is it too much for you.
