Well, do you expect someone who doesn't know Arabic to know that

And I already dabkeh aswell as belly dance

ps. my life is so shit, wtf do I do in my spare time

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.

I reckon Egyptian's are the most artistic Arabs...

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.

Ana as-Soomaal wa aftakhir

المصريين أهُمه
في الدنيا أول أمه
متحضرين ومؤمنين

المصريين أهُمه
حيوية وعزم وهمه
جيل بعد جيل متقدمين




ومادام قلبنا كده على بعضنا
نرضي ربنا والخير ح يزيد

و تعيشى يا مصر ف عزة ونصر
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!

if i asked you, are you agyptian , say yeh yeh son of egypt with your loudest voice
and raise your head up
iam egyptian and my dad is egyptian
with my [maariin]and colour iam masri

so my point is when egyptian are saying they are maariin then somalis should be happy to be black not [dhuxul]

adam2000, what did you just say? I'm lost

How? just the way you learned English? How did you learn English?
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.

Ah thanks Navy, I might just get a tutor and save myself the hassle lol :p
