Please recommend me some romantic or beautiful arabica songs 💜

Romantic songs:

Sherine - Hobbo Ganna (has subtitles)

This song is literal poetry plus the instrumentals are phenomenal. Sherine is my fav female Egyptian singer and this is probably my favorite song from hers. The title translates to "His love is heaven"

Nancy Ajram - Salamat

I shared this song in this post: A simple tip to become more cultured - Week 3. I love this song, it's so upbeat and makes me very happy; it's been on repeat ALL summer.

Elissa - Hob Kol Hayaty

The title literally translates to "Love of all my life"

Nancy Ajram - Albi Ya Albi (has subtitles, auto-translate, not very accurate)

This is super different from Nancy Ajram's usual songs and it makes it that much special. This song definitely has a western touch to it as compared to her other songs. And again, the music video is SO cute. Reminds me of Video Games by Lana del Rey in a weird way.

Nancy Ajram - Hassa Beek (has subtitles)

The music video is set in what I assume to be the 20s/ 50s. Definitely a sadder love song.

Amr Diab - Odam Merayetha

Ahhh I LOVE this song so so much! It was playing 24/7 when I was in Egypt this summer. It's such a cute song, the title translates to "Infront of her mirror" and the song is admiring "her" beauty of. Sadly this song doesn't have any subtitles but definitely search around for a translation because the lyrics are pretty good. A nice song to dance to.

Nancy Ajram - 3am Bet3alla2 Feek (has subtitles, auto-translate, not very accurate)

One of Nancy Ajram's few songs where she sings in a Lebanese dialect as opposed to an Egyptian dialect.

Hussain Al Jassmi - Piece Of My Heart

I'll save my thoughts on this for later, bc I am planning to make a full post on this song.

Jannat - Ana nesetak

The instrumentals of this song are so beautiful. This is also a sadder love song.

Haifa Wehbe - Mosh Adra Istanna

The type of song that makes you sway your head.

3 Daqat - Abu Ft. Yousra (has subtitles)

This song was also super popular in Egypt this summer. The lyrics of this song are amazing, and there are subtitles! I love the music video, mostly bc I think it was filmed in El Sahel El Shamally (North coast of Egypt), as are most songs on this list now that I think about it.

Haifa Wehbe - Hassa

I love Haifa Wehbe, also, love her outfit in this videos. Fun fact, I am pretty sure she got seriously injured while filming the last scene of this music video (where the plane flies above her). Def have to make a full post on this song.

Nancy Ajram - Ana Yalli Bahebak

This song is also sung in a Lebanese dialect, although a part of me wants to say it's a mix between Egyptian and Lebanese but maybe that has more to do with the similarities of the dialects. The title translates to "I'm the one who loves you".

Amr Diab - Zay Manty

This was also filmed in the North coast of Egypt, the color of the water gives it away; th3 Mediterranean sea is SO blue. A very very nice love song.

Elyanna - Youm Wara Youm

I have to start of by saying, the visuals are INSANE, the music video is a must-watch. Elyanna is a fairly new singer. She's half Palestinian, half Chilean but she was born in Los Angeles. This song is a cover of Samira Said's "Youm Wara Youm" by Elyanna

Nancy Ajram - Eini Alik

The title of this song translates to "My eyes are on you". This song is super catchy and very fun to dance to.

Nancy Ajram - El Hob Zay El Watar

Such a beautiful song! It's the type of song that you can feel in your heart, and the lyrics are amazing, if you can find a translation definitely do so.

Nancy Ajram - Hobbak Bi Ye'wa

If you couldn't tell already I love Nancy Ajram. The title of this song translates to "Your love is getting stronger". The melody is fantastic; I love upbeat songs, you can definitely party to this. I originally shared this song in this post: A simple tip to become more cultured.

Nancy Ajram - W Maak

Love the music video; very retro

Elissa - Halet Hob (has subtitles, too small to read)

My favorite song from Elissa, and the only one that I can constantly listen to

Other Songs I love:

Amr Diab - Amaken El Sahar

I LOVE this song. And I LOVE the music video, it was definitely filmed in the North coast of Egypt. This song was also very popular this summer in Egypt and was played everywhere.

Elyanna - Ahwak

This song is a cover of Abdel Halim Hafez's "Ahwak". Elyanna has such a mesmerising voice and her songs/ covers have been some of my favorites ever since I discovered her. Also, love the music video.

Amr Diab - Amarain

This song is super catchy and is constantly stuck in my mind. Surprisingly the song is a mix of Egyptian/ Levantine/ Gulf dialects which is not usual for Amr Diab, who mostly sings in Egyptian Arabic. The music video is surprisingly very nostalgic.

Haifa Wehbe - Mateegy Nor2os

The title translates to "Come dance"/ "Let's dance". I love the rhythm

Sherine- Mesh Ad El Hawa

I just love Sherine's voice and her songs always remind me of Cairo.

Nancy Ajram Feat K'naan - Waving Flag

Basically the original Waving Flag song but with Nancy in it, which makes it so much better! Love love love this song.

Nancy Ajram feat Cheb Khaled - Shajea Helmak

The music video was filmed/ set in Tunisia, Algeria, Egypt and Brazil. It's very football focused and even features the Brazilian Carnival.

Khaled - C'est La Vie

You've probably heard this song before. I am going to add that the Arabic in the song is in Maghrebi Arabic (Morocco, Tunisia, Algeria), how do I know? Because I don't understand any of it.

Hassan Abou El Seoud - Shek Shak Shok

Pretty much everyone's favorite song to belly dance to. I seriously can't get enough of this song. So fun to dance to!

Amr Diab - El Gaw Gameel

What a beautiful song; reminds me of summer

Hussain Al Jassmi - Ser el Sada

Just wow, completely obsessed with this song, it reminds me of when I was in the North Coast this summer. I wrote more about this song in this post: A simple tip to become more cultured

Amr Diab - Yetalemo

Always puts me in a good mood

There's lots more, but I'll save those for later ;) plus this made me realize that some of these songs need full posts.

Enjoy ;)

hi i want to understand your posts about your ocs but i have no context. this is an invitation to introduce them from the beginning if you wish? obviously no pressure i just wanted to ask in case you want to ramble about them!!

okay hi um well the actual story that like starts from the beginning seems like it has nothing to do with this at all but basically to understand this story in particular (cause i have a lot haha) its important to have some background on the world so. its a fantasy that takes place in like Insert Fantasy World. the one thing of note is that there’s magic here-sometimes, people are born with one of three abilities: the ability to create matter, destroy matter, or knit matter together. the mc, samira, has the power to create things as does her mentor (also theres a lot of like hisakljk magical rules and nonsense but thats. another thing that actually im kind of bad at writing so shes on the backburner rn)

anyways samira comes from the land of the sandbiters, or to put it nicer shes from the west. 20 years ago, when she was born, the empire that had ruled over the continent, run by invaders from the north (who are just kind of this mishmash of empires throughout history), fell, with their imperial subjects being freed. there are a lot of ethnic groups living on this continent but very briefly the most important are the westerners who are broken up into kingdoms and small states, the southerners who are part of one big state republic who have control of the biggest city on the continent, and the inhabitants of the palagan islands which is a giant archipelago in the east whose governments are different depending on which island you’re on

she specifically belongs to the westerners ofc (actually shes mixed but thats addressed later), who are based off of the etruscans and mycenean greece (with a couple of liberties n stuff) shes been living up in the mountains all of her life but shes finally going to really like go down into the urban areas and really see what the world is like when the story starts

so i hope that helps w a little more context to the story haha but there’s a. lot sksks thank you so much for asking !!!!!

#finny.txt #asks #this is also a bundle of text :sob:
