(Egyptian Kids Song)

Featuring...
Here's a short color film of New York city taken in 1939.  What's interesting is how much it looks...
بابا جي أمتي
When Will Dad Come?
Children's Song
(Arabic)
Children's Song
(English)

بابا جي أمتي
جي الساعة 6
راكب ولا ماشي
راكب بسكيلتة
حمرا و لا بيضة
بيضة زي القشطة
أفتحو له السكة
و أضربوله سلام

When will Dad come?
He will come at 6
Will he come on foot or ride?
He will come riding a bike
Is it red or white?
It is white like cream
Please open the way
And salute him.

Notes

Baba Gai emta?
(Transliteration)

Baba Gai emta?
Gai elsaa seta
Rakeb wala mashi?
Rakeb bescleta
Hamra wala beida?
Beida zy el eshta
Eftaholoo elseka
Wedraboloo Salam.
