Most welcome , most welcome // Mar7abtayn w mar7abtayn // مرحبتين ومرحبتين
Where are the dabkeh dancers ? // Waynoun haddabeeky wayn // وينهم هالدبيكة وين
Where are Ma7moud and Ma3rouf ? // Wayn ma7moud wayn Ma3rouf // وين محمود وين معروف
Where are Elias and Hassayn ? // Wayn Elyas wayn E7sayn // وين الياس وين حسين

Oh lantern ! Light up and shine // Dawwy w sha3sha3 ya fanous // ضوّي وشعشع يا فانوس
For the groom and for the bride // lil3arees w lil3arous // للعريس و للعروس
Groom! Go ahead and kiss her // W ya 3arees tfaddal bous // و يا عريس تفضّل بوس
A kiss now and a kiss more later // Bawset na2dy w bawset dayn // بوسة نقدي و بوسة دين

We returned to our loved ones house // Jina ya dar ela7bab // جينا يا دار الأحباب
What a pleasure to meet you again // Tab elmal2a feek tab // طاب الملقى فيك طاب
In Lebanon we don't close the doors // Ellebnany ma byeghlou2 bab // اللبناني ما بيغلق باب
Doors are always open to everyone // Babou emsharra3 3al maylayn // بابه مشرّع ع الميلين

Oh glorious house, at your doorsteps we arrived // Ya dar el2ezz 3a 3atabek wasalna // يا دار العز ع عتابك وصلنا
We fastened the joy with the threads of love // W khyout el7oubb w elfar7a wasalna // و خيوط الحب و الفرحة وصلنا
Even if we had achieved a high position on the world // W mahma beddiny jilna waselna // و مهما بالدنيا جلنا و صلنا
We always must return to the our beloved land // La boud na3oud 3a ard el7abab // لا بد نعود ع أرض الحباب

Oh bride, under this veil-wedding // Ya 3arous bihattar7a // و يا عروس بهالطرحة
Wave and say bravo ! Well done ! // Law7y w 2ouly ya mar7a // لوحي و قولي يا مرحى
The cute girl in the wedding party // W elamoura bihalfar7a // والأمّورة بهالفرحة
Will dance during three full days // Ra7 ter2ous yaoum w yaoumayn // رح ترقص يوم و يومين

Clássico dentre os clássicos! To not dance at least during 3 full days to this song is just impossible!!!!!! BRAVO!

You are welcome
