This page contains a translation into English of the lyrics to the Lebanese song "Ma Yhemak", which was popularized by Yara. It is also sometimes known by the title "Khaly Kol Elnas Tshouf", which can also be transliterated as "Khallee Kel El Nass Etshouf" or "Khali Kell l Nass Tchouf". Also included is a transliteration of the Arabic lyrics into the Roman alphabet so you can sing along if you like. Yara released this song in 2009 on her album Enta Menni. It uses the same melody as a 1997 Greek song recorded by Despina Vandi, "Tis Kardias Mou Giatria". Yara is the professional name for Carla Nazih al-Birqashi. In 1998, she won the Lebanese music competition "Kass el-Nojoum" with the song "Awedak". In 2005, she released her first album. Song lyrics are provided for educational purposes.
