Ramadan is usually a season when different brands compete to make good, funny ads. This is an ad for Wadi Degla Developments. It’s a light-hearted song speaking to people over 30. It uses a way we use when talking to kids “Who just turned 30?”, “Who now prefers staying at home?”, etc.

Summary
الْأُغْنِيّة دِي عن اللي عدُّو التّلاتِين.
The song is about people over thirty.
الْأُغْنِيّة بِتْهزّر معاهُم و بِتْقُول اِنُّهُم خلاص كِبْرُو.
The song jokes with them and says they’ve grown up.
بقُو بِيْلاقُو شعْر ابْيض.
They started finding white hair.
بقُو بِيْحِبُّو يُقعُدُو فِي الْبِيْت.
They started to like staying at home.
بِيِنْسُو أسامِي النّاس.
They forget people’s names.
بعْد التّمْرِين بِيْقُولُو “آه يانا”.
After working out, they say “Oh dear”.
النّاس كانُو بِيْقُولُولْهُم “كابْتِن” و “آنِسة”.
People used to call them “Captain” and “Miss”.
دِلْوَقْتِي الْأطْفال بِيْقُولُولْهُم “عمُّو” و “طنْط”.
Now kids call them “Uncle” and “Auntie”.
فِي الْآخِر، الْأُغْنِيّة بِتْقُول اِنُّهُم خلاص كِبْرُو و مبقُوش “صُغنْططِين”.
In the end, the song says they’ve grown up and are no longer little.
و لازِم يِفكّرُو فِي الشّقّة و الْبِيْت و الْعِيْلة.
And they need to think about the apartment, the house, and the family.
