Anyways tamally malak is my fave so far.

YES. Mine too! Have you seen the English translation for it?

[monnik 0]

sparrow, do you want the English translation? Or, are you asking because you know the English version?

I have heard the English one, the Italian, and the Spanish one.

Would you like the translation or an English version?

Well, he didn't do them. I think it was different artists. A lady was singing the Argentinian version.

[Dr. A ♥ O 203]

One of my favorites this summer:

Amel Bent: a Moroccan-French singer who won on France's version of American Idol (I don't know what it's called)--I like music with a social message (her song is in part about racism towards North Africans in France):

Oh Wow! I was blown away. I love this song!

Amel Bent

My philosophy

I have only one philosophy

To be accepted as I am

Despite everything that one says to me

I remain the raised fist

For best like the worst

I am mongrel but not martyrdom

I advance the light heart

But always the raised fist

To raise the head, to bend the chest

Unceasingly to redouble efforts

The life does not leave me the choice of them

I am the ace which beats the king

In spite of our sorrows, our differences

And all these ceaseless insults

Me I will raise the fist

Still higher, even further

{Refrain:}

To aim at the Moon

That does not frighten me

Even with wear

I still believe in it and in heart

Sacrifices

If it is needed I will make some

I already made some

But always the raised fist

I am not like all these girls

That one disfigures, that one strips

Me I have forms and roundnesses

That is used to heat the hearts

Girl of a popular district

I learned how there to be proud

Much more love than of misery

Much more heart than of stone

I have only one philosophy

To be accepted as I am

With the force and the smile

The fist raised towards the future

To raise the head, to bend the chest

Unceasingly to redouble efforts

The life does not leave me the choice of them

I am the ace which beats the king

{with the Refrain, x3}

Here's a really great song "Enta Eih" that I like by Nancy:

Oh man the video did not end!!! I felt like I was cut off and I must see the end. Was that really the end of this video, or if any one has seen it how does it end?

[monnik 0]

Hey dip_sticks. I am not sure where the video cut off for you. I can't get it to play!

But, I believe the video ends after they are riding in the car with the other couple, and he is looking at the girl in the mirror, they go home. And, Nancy locks herself in the bathroom and is crying or singing or whatever. Then, he is about to come in the bathroom with her and she cleans her face and goes out and they talk like nothing was wrong or they make up, I am not really sure.

heheheee

Or at least that's how I remember it. Maybe anyone else can add details.

UGGGG how horrible. I dont know how she could take all that indiffrence in the video. I could have gone buck wild on that jerk. Ugggg just made me so angry i wanted to punch my monitor. LOL And then that other skank being all over Nancys man in the video. uffffpt I would have fixed her too. So sad to think that this happens in real life and its not just a video.

[monnik 0]

Sadly, it does happen in real life, but the guy is usually not that hot. And, the "skank" is usually ugly and underage (which would prohibit someone from kickin her butt without going to jail!). And, the couple usually stay together with little or no whoop azz going on.

The video is pretty sad. And the song, too.

Thanks Wael & Jeanne for those songs!

I think it's so cute that you guys are together, and you sign into your separate accounts to post! Sounds like something my husband & I would do.

I don't wanna hijack this thread , but I could listen to music all day long! It is the best way for me to hear Arabic, recognize the words I am learning, and overall pass the time!

Here are two more songs I love!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Leih by Suzy

3la Baly by Sherien

Words cannot describe the look on Hicham's face when he saw this. Yikes!

[monnik 0]

Sarah!

I don't know if that was good or bad, but it sounds like a bad reaction!

It's a tough song for even some Egyptians to love.
