NOTES:
*Marhabtayn literally translates to "two hellos", but is said to convey what I translated. It's very common in the Lebanese dialect to "double" things when wanting to express a big quantity of a thing.
Dabke (Arabic: دبكة also spelled Dabka, Dubki, Dabkeh, plural Dabkaat), is an Arab folk dance native to the Levant.[2] Dabke combines circle dance and line dancing and is widely performed at weddings and other joyous occasions. The line forms from right to left. The leader of the dabke heads the line, alternating between facing the audience and the other dancers. In English, its name is also transliterated dabka, dabki and dabkeh.
**Each name represents a religious sect prominent in Lebanon. Maarouf for the Druze, Mahmoud the Sunni, Elias the Christians, Husein the Shiites. By naming them, she's inviting everyone regardless of their religion, thus calling for unity and love among everyone.
*** Na'di and Dayn, the first meaning "coin", the latter meaning "debt". It's another Lebanese idiom, and here Sabah is teasing the groom by telling him that they'll allow him to kiss his bride after he "pays up", and that he could have one as a debt. It's meant to be jocular in all senses.
^The lead in Dabke often carries a piece of cloth that they swing around, hence the "louhi" part.

She had a reported more than 3,500 songs in her repertoire.
