Ramadan came Posted by on May 29, 2017 in Arabic Language, Culture, Vocabulary

The holy month of Ramadan is here again. Muslims around the world celebrated the beginning of the holy month 3 days ago.  In this post, I present a traditional song from Egypt to welcome the holy month. The song is called Ramadan came (رمضان جانا).

رمضان جانا وفرحنا به
Ramadan came and we are happy with it
بعد غيابه وبقاله زمان
After a long wait for a long time
غنوا وقولوا شهر بطوله
Sing for it the whole month
غنوا وقولوا اهلا رمضان
Sing and say “Welcome Ramadan”
رمضان جانا اهلا رمضان
Ramadan came, welcome Ramadan
قولوا معانا اهلا رمضان
Join us and say, welcome Ramadan
بتغيب علينا وتهجرنا وقلوبنا معاك
You take a long time, and we miss you
وفى السنة مرة تزورنا وبنستناك
And every year you come once, and we wait for you
من امتى واحنا بنحسبلك ونوضبلك ونرتبلك
We spend a long time counting the days and preparing
رمضان جانا اهلا رمضان
Ramadan came, welcome Ramadan
قولوا معانا اهلا رمضان
Join us and say, welcome Ramadan

يوم رؤيتك لما تجينا زى العرسان
When you come and we see youm like a groom
نفرح وننصب لك زينة اشكال والوان
We cheer and make decorations of different shapes and colours
فى الدخلة نبقى نطبلك ونهللك اه ونقولك
When you arrive, we hit the drums, cheer and say
رمضان جانا اهلا رمضان
Ramadan came, welcome Ramadan
قولوا معانا اهلا رمضان
Join us and say, welcome Ramadan
يا مسحراتي دوقلنا تحت الشباك
Oh Musahir*, hit your drum, under our windows
سمعنا وافضل غنيلنا للفجر معاك
Sing for us all night until dawn
واعملنا هوليلة تلاتين ليلة حلوة جميلة
Make a celebration for 30 beautiful nights
رمضان جانا اهلا رمضان
Ramadan came, welcome Ramadan
قولوا معانا اهلا رمضان
Join us and say, welcome Ramadan

*Musahir is the person who wakes people up to eat before dawn
