I decided to look up the full version of this song because I had heard people singing parts of it several times on various TV shows. Fairouz's songs are a big part of Lebanese culture and the culture of the entire Arab world and this is a popular one that everyone seems to know. I like it because it has a catchy tune and it's actually about something concrete. It's about a car being broken down. You could translate the title as This Car isn't Going. This song is also good for learning Lebanese vocabulary. There are a lot things specific to Lebanese dialect in the lyrics. I've written out the lyrics to the song and put a vocab list at the end. Vocab words are in red.
