arabic Songs

“حبيتك بالصيف” (I Loved You in the Summer)

“I Loved You in the Summer” is a romantic song by one of the most well-known Arab singers from Lebanon, Fayrouz. This song is great for beginners because it uses a lot of basic vocabulary, like the seasons (alsayf is summer, shata’ is winter, rbye is spring and alkharif is autumn). But the song is also useful for advanced levels who want to put their vocabulary to the test and challenge themselves to understand the gist of the song: unrequited love. The singer uses advanced words and expressions to describe her suffering, so keep the lyrics to hand! Click here to listen to this song.

“انت عمرى” (You Are My Life)

“You Are My Life” is, as you may have guessed, a romantic song by an Egyptian singer and songwriter, so it’s a great idea to listen to it to familiarise yourself with different Arabic accents. Some new terms you will hear include your eyes (euyunk), your light (nurik) and my heart (qalbi). In terms of grammar, the song is quite simple because it only includes verbs in the past and the imperative, like forgot (nasit) or gave (aetaa), so listening to the song is a great way to revise your course contents.
