Wawa

Haifa Wehbe's song 'Wawa' is a playful and affectionate tune that revolves around the theme of love and comfort. The word 'wawa' is a colloquial term in Arabic often used to describe a small injury or pain, similar to how one might say 'boo-boo' in English. The song uses this term metaphorically to describe emotional pain and the healing power of love and affection. The repeated chorus, 'leik el wawa, bus el wawa, khale el wawa yse7,' translates to 'look at the pain, kiss the pain, let the pain melt away,' emphasizing the soothing effect of a lover's touch and care.

The lyrics also highlight the warmth and security that come from being close to a loved one. Phrases like 'b2urbak khaline, 2morne w daffine' (keep me close, command me and warm me) and 'ana min dunak, ana bardane' (without you, I am cold) illustrate the deep emotional connection and dependency the singer feels towards her partner. This dependency is not portrayed as a weakness but rather as a natural and comforting aspect of a loving relationship.

Cultural references to social gatherings and celebrations are also present in the song. Lines like 'el-laile a7la sahra 3end e7babe' (tonight is the best party with my loved ones) and 'badu yane el bus a7la tyabe' (he wants me to wear my best clothes) depict a lively and joyous atmosphere, further enhancing the song's overall theme of love and happiness. Haifa Wehbe, known for her glamorous and vibrant persona, brings these elements to life with her energetic performance, making 'Wawa' a delightful and heartwarming song that resonates with many.
