Helly Luv – Yalla Habibi Noa, June 15, 2023 Table of Contents ToggleInformationTranslator notesSubtitled music videoSubtitlesInformationArtist: Helly Luv (Helan Abdulla)Location: Kurdistan Region, Iraq & FinlandCopyright: OUD Production L.L.C.Licensing: OUD Production L.L.C.Intermediate: BMG Rights ManagementTranslator notes“Yalla t3al” (يلا تعال) in the original lyrics could have been translated as “Come here” instead of my choice of “Come on, come here.” I chose the longer option based on the overall lyrics of the song, as it seemed more fitting.“Hayati” (حياتي) could also have been translated as “My life,” which is closer to the root of the Arabic word, “Hayat” (حياة), meaning “Life.” However, this is a lesser-known usage in the English language. Hence, I chose “my dear,” which holds the same meaning.For anyone who doesn’t know what a “darabuka” (دربوكة) is, it’s also known as a doumbek or goblet drum. It’s a goblet-shaped drum of Egyptian origin.Subtitled music videoSubtitlesI can see that you’re thirsty.You get down, I’ll get dirty.Make you drool, know you want me.Take it slow, there’s no hurry.Smoke in the room makes you dizzy.When I leave, you’re gonna miss me.Blow you kisses when you kiss me.Come on, come here, come get me.My love, come on, come on.I can see you want me, yeah.My dear, come on, come on.I can see you want me, yeah.Boom, boom, darabuka.I’ll play you like a darabuka.I’m a sixteen shooter.Boom, boom, darabuka.Boom, boom, darabuka.I’ll play you like a darabuka.I’m a sixteen shooter.Boom, boom, darabuka.Oh, I burn like a shisha.Look, don’t touch, Mona Lisa.You’re addicted, I’m the dealer.When we touch, you get the fever.Boy, I’ve got a spell on you.Move my body like a snake when I’m close to you.Wrap you around my finger.I am the queen of my kingdom.My love, come on, come on.I can see you want me, yeah.My dear, come on, come on.I can see you want me, yeah.Boom, boom, darabuka.I’ll play you like a darabuka.I’m a sixteen shooter.Boom, boom, darabuka.Boom, boom, darabuka.I’ll play you like a darabuka.I’m a sixteen shooter.Boom, boom, darabuka.My love, come on, come on.Darabuka-buka-buka.My dear, come on, come on.Darabuka-buka-buka.My love, come on, come on.Darabuka-buka-buka.My dear, come on, come on.Darabuka-buka-buka.Boom, boom, darabuka.I’ll play you like a darabuka.I’m a sixteen shooter.Boom, boom, darabuka.Boom, boom, darabuka.I’ll play you like a darabuka.I’m a sixteen shooter.Boom, boom, darabuka. AboutLatest Posts NoaAs a 15-year-old girl living in an area that isn't very popular, I tend to keep to myself, but I don't mind sharing a little bit about myself. I come from a family of musicians, and I am proud to be a Jewish-Israeli girl. Unfortunately, I face some mental and physical challenges that prevent me from pursuing music like my family members. Instead, I have found my passion in translating Hebrew and Arabic content, as I do for this blog.Latest posts by Noa (see all) [Music] Angra – Gods Of The World - November 16, 2023 [Translation] Pasha Parfeni & Dara – Fetele - October 27, 2023 [Subtitles] Disturbed – No More - October 13, 2023Share this:FacebookXLike this:Like Loading...Related Music Subtitled Video Arabic PopBilingualCatchyCelebratoryDanceEnergeticExoticFeel-goodFemale ArtistHelly LuvInternationalloveMiddle Eastern FusionPartyPopSummer VibesUpbeatYalla Habibi
