Lyrics to an old Arabic song?
I heard this song a long time ago. It's Lebanese, I think, female singer, from the 80's ,maybe early 90's. The first part goes (and my Arabic to english spelling is awful)
"El had o wa dee amed fa gil fil fagareeyah. Wa deek bi adhan coo coo coo coo fil fagareeyah."
The only part I am sure about is "wa deek bi adhan", someting about a rooster singing the adhan in the morning (coo coo coo coo) and in the second verse she says something about "Ya Abu Salah."
Someone told me the first part was about a woman making bread in the morning, I have no idea!
It's been stuck in my head for nearly THIRTEEN YEARS!!
THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU Shukran everybody, now what al the Arabic lyrics? I'm not Arab, of course, thanks you so much for the translation! I used to sing this to a friend's baby, she was impressed but I had no idea what i was singing. I can never find the lyrics because I spell them wrong.
Okay, when I heard this song, I friend let me borrow her cassette, ages ago! It was not Dania, it was and older verion, sounds like that Haifa girl, but not all messed up like the version I saw on YouTube. It was not a remix, I prefer the "old school" stuff, with out all the remix crap added. Sorry. Wow, you have no idea how cool it is to finally find this song! I have been humming it for years.

Here's something similar to what it says:
That beautiful lady woke up at the dawn to make dough
And the rooster was "beyeddan" singing "kokoo kokoo" in the dawn,
Let's go workers for our jobs,
the morning came and shined, and the pockets don't have any pennies, but the mode is high and great,
the hope door is ur door, mercy god,
The patience is nice and great, what made things change?
For u who have the money, also the poor guy has his mercy God.
"Abu Salah", Keep ur hands with mine, as long as Allah with us, u will live happy.
"yalla beena yalla" let's go, we got late.
Enjoy:))

The song is called El Hilwa di, it's a folks song so everyone who is anyone sings it. But I think it was composed and sang by the late Egyptian musician Sayed Darweesh but lately the Lebanese young singer Dania recorded that song with a remix to the music.
Also, I'm not sure about this but I think Fairuz sang this song too maybe in a medley or in a festival.

Kate and Lougi are right, and fairuz does sing it beautifully.
I"ll see if I can find it for you.
Edit: OMG, I didn't find fairuz but a version of haifa absolutely butchering this song. shocking, lol.
