يلا نطير [You Can Fly!]

احلم يلا من غير نوم
لف العيد فى اول يوم
بالملاهى والمراجيح
دايما بتسابق في الريح
خد بالك سر خطير
 
يلا نطير
يلا نطير
يلا نطير
 
افتكر أسعد لحظات
حتطير من غير جناحات
و اتهنى فى نور النجم
قبل ما يطلع نور الفجر
هتلقى السر فى بير
 
يلا نطير
يلا نطير
يلا نطير
 
نركب على طول فى السما جندول بين السحابات
و يطير بيك على أرض الأحلام
فيها الأمانى ملك ايديك
مش هتنام والاحلام هتصحيك
 
لو كان قلبك لسه شباب
الاحلام واقفه عالباب
مستنيه تشاور بس
إمسكها وحسها باللمس
وعيش جوه الاساطير
 
يلا نطير
يلا نطير
يلا نطير
يلا نطير
 
Translation

Let's Fly

Come on, dream without sleeping
Go out and [enjoy] the first day of the feast1
with the funfairs and the swings
[that] always race the wind.
Pay attention to the great secret
 
Let's fly
Let's fly
Let's fly
 
Remember the happiest moments
[and] you will fly without wings
And enjoy yourself in the starlight
Before the dawn light breaks
You will find the secret well-hidden 2
 
Let's fly
Let's fly
Let's fly
 
We'll ride a gondola between the clouds right now
and it will fly you to the land of dreams
The wishes are within your hands in [these lands]
You will not sleep and the dreams will wake you up
 
If your heart is still youthful
Dreams are [knocking] at the door
Waiting for you to just signal
Catch them and feel their touch
And live inside the fairy tales3
 
Let's fly
Let's fly
Let's fly
Let's fly

No problem, It is indeed; I edited out the corrected ones then, looks much better.
Cheers :)

Thanks! They do use some really uncommon words.. but then again gondolas themselves aren't common in the Arabic-speaking world xD
