So the next Gala is Nov 4th. It's coming up soon!

I'm in two classes again, so I'm trying to learn two different choreographies at my new "Continuing Beginner" Level. There is a lot that is still very new to me so it's quite a challenge.

Anyway, I have two new songs that I'm dancing to, and I'm curious to find out what they mean in English.
1. is Sahran Alayya by the Al-Ahram Orchestra
2. is Aziz Eini by Sayyid Darwish

I have done a google search to see if I could find translations for these songs, but no luck so far. I wonder if anyone here on Bhuz could help me out?

    Thanks for the offer Luna! :-)

    I am a silly goose. The owner of my studio is Egyptian. She was there tonight, and because the instructor was giving a private lesson to someone who wanted some practice with the choreography and the song was playing conveniently, I asked her what the song was about. She explained that the singer was describing how much she loved her home-country - Egypt - which makes sense - as there is a lot of repetition of the word "Balady" or "Beledy" in it.

    I didn't need to know what every word in the song meant, I just wanted a general idea of whether it was a happy or sad song and very generally what it was about.
