🇸🇦 Arabic, taken literally
اللي يتلسع من الشوربة ينفخ في الزبادي
elli yeltasa' men el-shorba yenfokh fel-zabadi · elli yitlisiʿ min ish-shurba
Literally
The one who was burned by soup blows on yogurt
What it really means
Once bitten, twice shy.
Keep the ones you liked. We will bring them back before you forget.

القرد في عين أمه غزالThe monkey is a gazelle in its mother's eyesنقول طور يقولوا احلبوهWe say bull, they say milk itإذا كان حبيبك عسل ما تلحسوش كلهEven if your beloved is honey, don't lick it allاحترنا يا قرعة من وين بدنا نبوسكOh bald one, we don't know where to kiss youطب الجرة ع تمّا بتطلع البنت لإمّاIf you overturn the jar, the daughter comes out like her motherيد واحدة لا تصفّقOne hand cannot clap
