Happy Birthday Dr. Ali Anani

Happy Birthday, Dr Ali Anani! May you have many happy returns of the day. To celebrate, I believe the following is the Arabic version of the song Happy Birthday:

eid milad saeid alduktur eali eanani! qad yakun ladayk aledyd min aleayidat alsaeidat lhdha alyawma. lilaihtifal , 'aetaqid 'ana alnuskhat alearabiat min 'aghniat Happy Birthday:

Sana Helwa ya Gameel (cha cha cha)

Sana Helwa ya Gameel (cha cha cha)

Sana Helwa, Sana Helwa

Sana Helwa ya Gameel (cha cha cha)

Sana Helwa ya Gameel (cha cha cha)

Sana Helwa ya Gameel (cha cha cha)

Sana Helwa, Sana Helwa

Sana Helwa ya Gameel (cha cha cha)

If I am correct, it is custom to sing this verse twice and then sing the English version of Happy Birthday twice - including the "cha cha cha". Sana Helwa actually means sweet or wonderful year, and according to google translate it means happy year, but it is interpreted also as an Arabic greeting for "Happy Birthday".

Happy Birthday Oh Beautiful One,

Happy Birthday Oh Beautiful One,

Happy Birthday, Happy birthday,

Happy Birthday Oh Beautiful One.

Happy Birthday Oh Beautiful One,

Happy Birthday Oh Beautiful One,

Happy Birthday, Happy Birthday,

Happy Birthday Oh Beautiful One.

The song above is only the start. Here is a playlist with a further twelve Arabic Happy Birthday songs.

al'aghniat aelah laysat swa albidayati. huna qayimat tashghil mae athnay eashar 'aghniat earabiat eid milad saeid.
