تيتي تيتي مثل ما رحتي جيتي
meaning: titi titi, just as you went you came
من برة إشي إشي ومن جوة خرق محشي
meaning: from outside "wow wow" and from inside it's stuffed with rags
يا مأمنة بالرجال ، متل ياللي مأمنة بالمي في الغربال
o! my sister depending on men you are believing in water in a sieve
يعمل من الحبة قبة
he makes a dome out of a grain = he worries about a small problem as if it is a big one
حط راسك بين هالروس و قول يا قطاع الروس
Put your head between these heads and shout "cut our heads off

الصلح سيد الاحكام
