Default Motreb 7ambouli

Hi all,

I just discovered through a member of a lyrics forum it is Marwa's song Motreb 7ambouli. I also got a translation from the lyrics forum which I'd like to share here and want to create a bit of a debate about this song.

While searching around for Azooza, which Marwa also did, I ran into quite a lot of different opinions on Marwa's style etc. This seems to be a silly song, judging from the translation, and I hear different comments about Marwa being either cute, modern, rebellious or quite trashy. I will post the video clip as well and I'd like to know what you think (input from Arabic speaking members as well, who might shed a light on the words Marwa uses to end her sentences that don't quite make sense to me).

Thanks!!

So here's the video (if anybody knows how to embed a video, please help)
YouTube - Marwa Motreb Hambouly
Am I wrong or is she 'bellydancing' there??


And the lyrics/translation:
