first the singer of this song Nancy Ajram shes not Egyptians, shes from lebonan. and second the video is little bit racist because they do not show the faces black Egyptians who are ogirinal people of egypty. black egyptians live the regions of ASwan and all southern part of Egypty.

Well, hydrogen, at least you should get the song's name right. I do listen to songs of languages I do not know...but since I have listened to it, the only logic step is to get the name of the song and what the song is about. Anyways, the song you posted is cool.

مرفرف فوقنا علم ونشيد


I love Yasmin, such a talented lady.

Very rhythmic I must say, I'm guessing it's about being Egyptian. Hey, how did you learn/know Arabic?

I like dabke...particularly Omar Souleyman's music to it and the Palestinian dabke dance. I hope I get the chance to dance it at a wedding sometime soon!

How? just the way you learned English? How did you learn English? :lol:
As for Adam, I think he is translating the first few lines of the song you posted.




Adam,
Egyptians do come with many shades, there are those with blonde, red hair and green/blue eyes with fair skin (Mansoura is very famous for beautiful people, I am guessing when Napoleon invaded Egypt in 1798 many of them settled in those areas] ; there are those with Mediterranean skin, those with brown (Asmar) skin and those who are dark/black as you go Upper Egypt.

Hydrogen,

I would say the best way is to study it in an Arabic speaking country but if that is not possible for you, I think Fah would be a better source since he started it first in the States. The language itself is not difficult but its grammar is painful at the beginning.
