What are the original lyrics of "Hatten är din"? I am not talking about the English or Swedish lyrics.

1The original song THANKS to [Wikipedia article]( en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hatten_%C3%A4r_din?wprov=sfla1) is by Lebanese musician Azar Habib. " In 1984, Habib recorded "Meen ma Kenty/Habbeetek" (Whoever you are/I Loved You, or I Fell In Love With You) in Arabic for his ''Ajbeen el Layl'' album. The Swedish lyrics were part of the whole joke video which came along in 2000. But due to seeming omnipresence of the Swedish/English lyrics, original lyrics hard to find.– AngstCommented Jun 17, 2018 at 17:06

@Angst couldn't this be an answer?– BebsCommented Jun 26, 2018 at 8:09

@Bebs Actually it should be easy -- any Arabic speaker presumably can answer the question. But probably none such has read it yet.– Bjørn Kjos-HanssenCommented Jun 26, 2018 at 10:20

@BjørnKjos-Hanssen, If you mean that you need someone to translate and transcribe the lyrics for you, I'm not sure this is the proper SE community.– BebsCommented Jun 26, 2018 at 10:42

Maybe you should ask about the lyrics in another forum, on SE or elsewhere. But pls keep this question open as I want to know the answer now...although I never knew about this meme until now- and if you find an answer, putting it with the background that is in my comment, that would be a complete answer.– AngstCommented Jun 26, 2018 at 12:02

A Google search gives the lyrics (via Musixmatch, see end of post), transliteration, and translation reproduced in full below. Listening to the original recording on YouTube, and following along with the transliteration, suggests that the transliterated lyrics are fairly accurate.
As a double-check, I also ran the Google/Musixmatch lyrics through SYSTRAN, getting these results, which are substantially the same, but with some differences in nuance.
EDIT: For information on the relationship between the Arabic original and the Swedish meme lyrics, along with English translation of the Swedish, see here

2Finally! Now what could make this go viral would be if we also figured out how to match it up with the Swedish lyrics. For instance, is "bihali bikhiali..." matched with "vi har det för jävligt"? Commented Aug 21, 2020 at 5:55

2It looks like "Where have you been?" == "Who were you not?" which is odd Commented Aug 21, 2020 at 6:12
