A fine summer night with a cool breeze
can hardly hear anything but the shake of the leaves
but if you listen carefully you would hear him from a distance
a bard sings stories and bring them to existence
by the tones of his Rebab the children are gathered to hear
The legend of Abu Zayd al-Hilali who Knew no fear
بعد الشمس ما تغيب و في أخر النهار
مش هتسمع اي صوت غير ورق الأشجار
و تسمع من بعيد صوت الحكواتي بيغني الأشعار
بيحكي بطولات بطل مغوار
على صوت الربابة تتلم حواليه العيال
يسمعوا حكاية أبو زيد الهلالي اللي ما يخشى الأهوال
The bard is a part of Egypt heritage he was a man holding a Rebab walking in town singing about legends especially "Abu zaid alhelaly"
