[mites7]

Great job way to rep our culture

[samygirl1990]

what kinda dabka is that?

[Eugenianubia]

yes is spanish, must be alabina, they always do that, sing arab n spanish

[omied711]

It is not Spanish and is not sung by Alabina. It is Italian and sung by an Italian singer called Dalida. Dalida - Flamenco Oriental. The guy is singing Arabic in a Gypsy style

[singinghope]

but that doesnt seem so much like the dabke to me, seems more greek like lol

[naif521]

i love the dabke and think for this team

[Nany212]

rhat's not arabic i am speaking arabic and i could not understand that's not dabke rhat's is something turkey wallah that's has nothing with arabi muzik

[msptm]

The original song is Arabic, this one is based on it. However, in this clip the guy sings in Arabic (although with a very bad accent), while the girl sings in Spanish (I think it's spanish).

[omied711]

This song is sung in Italian by Dalida and a Gypsy singer singing in Arabic

[amirash80]

i love the song :)

[at643]

Nice. The music brings back some memories of.. from 2000 when the arabic version was out. If only I could go back in time, I would do a lot of things differently.

[Kamel86]

wow Nice Dabke on Arabic style but with a mixture of Italian and Spanish song.. Anyway I love it.. and I love the girl who was in the middle... she looks to beautiful and also she dance very nice ... God Bless you...

[sumsim33]

yah, what wasnt shown in the beginning of this video was our intro. the song is half in italian, and half in a language that we are yet to figure out! but there is an arabic version of this song, so the song isnt "embarassing" but is actually copied from the original arabic version ;)

[kamal911]

ooicccc

[cokeysaid]

The song is called "Flamenco Oriental" (the guy sings in a typical Gypsy/Flamenco style and is singing in Arabic). The song is sung by Dalida a very famous singer/actress. Born in Shoubra, Egypt to Italian parents. In 1954 she won the Miss Egypt beauty contest and immediately left for Paris, France, to pursue a career in motion pictures.

[cokeysaid]

I loved their style. Very nice!

[alvaroawad]

=D nice video

i love dabke

[tomjones222]

[sumsim33]

sorry i dont have the name of the song! on my comp its called "track 01" but there is an arabic version of this song called BAHEBAK by MOHAMMAD MOHYE. its a little different style, but its the same basically

[sumsim33]

are you sure he is singing in arabic? all 5 of us speak arabic and none of us could understand what he was saying! do you know what dialect he is singing in? its possibly a dialect that none of us speak.

[cokeysaid]

It is Arabic, if you listen closely you can tell. He isn't an Arabic speaker and he has a very strong accent, that's why you are finding it hard to understand. I'm Lebanese and speak fluent "Arabic" so it was easy to understand what he was saying. what dialects do you all speak?

[sumsim33]

haha we all are lebanese and fluent in lebanese arabic too! how weird...all i understood was "ya habibi lei" can u tell me what he is saying??

[cokeysaid]

I wouldn't do this for just anyone, but given that you are all Lebanese I actually sat here listening to the song and rewinding back the guy's part and this is what I was able to get:

[cokeysaid]

...ya habibi leh, ma Shoo nasini sahart el leil ghani ma3aya wa ool ya leil...Flamenco.

Lahn gameed Wa kalam gameel, koloha mal wa maloosh baseel, ghanee wa ool ya leil Flamenco

Leila leil yaaaw...yaaa ya leili flamenco oooo ( tzolgheet)

...ya habibi le ma Shoo nasini sahart el leil ghani ma3aya wa ool ya leil Flamenco.

[cokeysaid]

I will have it checked by my Egyptian friends since the dialect used is Egyptian. I couldn't catch the 1st word in the 1st sentence, but when I get it all correct I'll post it again. Hope this helps :D

[sumsim33]

omg thanks so much! yes it makes sense now! omg how embarassing, in our intro we said it wasnt in arabic!! wow, ok next time i will know! thanks again!

[Eugenianubia]
