Ya Mukhtar Elmakhateer

يامختار المخاتير بحكيلك الحكاية
أنا ما بحب الشرح كتير ولا في عندي غاية
بدي تفللني بكير يامختار المخاتير

هِني كانوا زعلانين أنا شو بدي فيهن
قلت براضي العشقانين زعلوا أهاليهن

حطوا الحق عليّ وقالوا هالحشرية
يصطفلوا شو ماصار يصير
وخللي هالزير بهالبير
آه يامختار المخاتير

صار في خناق وصار في ناس كلّهن شهّدوني
وكراكون وهيصة وحرّاس لعندك جابوني
تاري في محاكم في محكوم وحاكم
شو كان بدي بهالتعثير
وبخاف من الحبس كثير

Ya Mukhtar Elmakhateer

O mayor of the mayors, I will tell you the story
I do not like to explain much nor do I have an ultimate goal
I want you to free me early, O mayor of the mayors

They were upset, what do I have to do with them
I said I am reconciling the two lovers, their families got upset

They put the blame on me and said this meddler,
Let them stay together, let whatever happens happen
And keep this pot on this well
Oh mayor of the mayors

There was a fight and there were people who testified against me
And pandemonium and guards brought me to you
My fate is in the courts, in the hands of a judge and a ruler
What did I have to do with this uproar
And I am very afraid of prison
