Original lyrics
قرقيعان
قرقيعان وقرقيعان، بين قصير ورميضان
عادت عليكم صيّام، كل سنة وكل عام
يالله تسلّم ولدهم، يالله تخليه لأمه
عسى البقعة ما تخمه، ولا توازي على أمه
يلا سوا نقرقع، الليلة قرقيعان
يلا سوا نقرقع، ونمر على الفرجان
فرحة الليلة جميلة، من عمر عادة أصيلة
يلا نفرح بأحلى ليلة ونغني للجيران
قرقيعان وقرقيعان، بين قصير ورميضان
عادت عليكم صيّام، كل سنة وكل عام
يالله تسلّم ولدهم، يالله تخليه لأمه
عسى البقعة ما تخمه، ولا توازي على أمه
قرقيعان .. قرقيعان
سلم ولدهم يالله .. خله لأمه يالله
سلم ولدهم يالله .. خله لأمه يالله
خله لأمه يالله
خله لأمه يالله
سلم ولدهم يالله خله لأمه يالله
سلم ولدهم يالله خله لأمه يالله
خله لأمه يالله
خله لأمه يالله
قرقيعان .. وقرقيعان .. قرقيعان
عطونا القرقيعان .. قرقيعان .. قرقيعان

Translation
Gergai'aan
Gergai'aan Gergaiaan comes between the month of Shaaban and Ramadan
May you witness it for more years to come, may you be able to fast Ramadan for many years to come
Oh Allah save this kid, Oh Allah protect him 1 for the sake of his mother
May he never get sick, may his mother never feel sorrow for him
----------
Let's celebrate this night! tonight is the Gergai'aan!
Let's celebrate this night! Let's pass by the neighbors houses
Today is a beautiful joyful night, it's been a tradition for years
Let's celebrate this night, and sing for our neighbors
----------

Give us the Gergai'aan 2.. Gergaiaan .. Gergai'aan
- 1. The masculine pronoun in Arabic means both girls and boys when it's used in a general way.
- 2. Gergaiaan is a word derived from (Garga'ah) means click or snick, the sound of iron pots carrying the sweets hitting each other while serving the sweets (as described in Wikipedia) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gargee%27an . Here it means give us the sweets of the night.

Arabic alphabet is a wonder of its own. Words are built in away that conveys its meanings phonetically. ♥️
