بيقولوا.. البيوت بتتبني بالحيطان..

Bi'oolu.. el-buyuut bit-tabni bil-heetan..

They say.. homes are built with walls..

But precious homes.. are built with the laughter of daughters.

والبنت لما بتكبر وبتتدلع في حضن أبوها وأمها..

Wel-bint lamma bit-kebar w-bit-dalla' fi ḥoḍn abuuha w-ommaha..

And when a girl grows up and is pampered in the arms of her father and mother..

بتبقى هي روح المكان.. ونور العين.. وأميرة البيت.

Bit-eb'a heyya rouḥ el-makaan.. w-nour el-'ain.. w-amiirat el-beet.

She becomes the soul of the place.. and the light of the eye.. and the princess of the house.

والنهاردة.. أميرة الأميرات بتسيب بيتنا.. علشان تنور بيتها الجديد..

Wel-naharda.. amiirat el-amiraat bit-siib beetna.. 'alashan tanawwar beetha el-gidiid..

And today.. the princess of princesses is leaving our home.. to light up her new home..

Lines explained

“بتبقى هي روح المكان.. ونور العين.. وأميرة البيت.”

Bit-eb'a heyya rouḥ el-makaan.. w-nour el-'ain.. w-amiirat el-beet.

She becomes the soul of the place.. and the light of the eye.. and the princess of the house.

This line uses the common Arabic idiom 'light of the eye' (نور العين), which signifies someone extremely beloved and cherished, often a child or spouse.

“ويا بخت يوسف عريسنا.. بقمر ملوش مثيل!”

W-ya bakht Youssef 'ariisna.. b-amar maloush mithiil!

And lucky is Youssef, our groom.. with a moon that has no equal!

Comparing the bride to 'a moon that has no equal' (قمر ملوش مثيل) is a classic Arabic poetic expression for extreme beauty, suggesting she is uniquely radiant and incomparable.

“يا عين صلّي على النبي.. الحلا مالهوش مثيل”

Ya 'ain ṣalli 'ala el-nabi.. el-ḥala maloush mithiil

Oh eye, pray to the Prophet.. her sweetness has no equal

'Oh eye, pray to the Prophet' (يا عين صلّي على النبي) is a common Egyptian expression used to ward off the evil eye when admiring something or someone beautiful, asking for blessings upon them.
