Marwa - Motreb 7ambouli

Yshka · 06-10-2008, 09:23 PM

Dear everybody,

I have quite a weird request. I heard a song the other day that I absolutely adore. However, I have no information whatsoever except a very messy description. I'll try anyways:

It's a very cute popsong, I think either Lebanese or Egyptian. The singer is female with a very sweet, childlike voice. I think the lyrics might be a bit cheeky. It's a really cute song with a nice beat/tempo to it.

As far as lyrics, I only remember she rhymes (and I'm not sure but it did sound like it) "aisha" with "shisha" halfway during the song. Plus I remember background vocals, women singing "laalaa" or something alike every sentence or so.

would be like:
"...........Aisha"
laala
"..........shisha"
laala...

I'm sorry I can't give anything more, it's the only thing I remember. I have to find it however, it's been in my head and driving me nuts ever since, I love it!!

I'm really praying my description makes sense to somebody.
Thanks!

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:

Thanks a lot Mosaic!!

I was thinking the same thing about the song. A fellow dancer danced to it at a restaurant a few years back. I don't know however with such lyrics hehe

Anybody?

I'm wondering how to view Marwa and her songs as an 'artist' and how the sillyness of this song is to be seen. This seems to be a silly song, judging from the translation, and I hear different comments about Marwa being either cute and modern or rebellious and trashy.

I would love for any Arabic speaking members to shed a light on the context of the song/videoclip and the words Marwa uses to end her sentences that don't quite make sense to me.
