To everyone asking why she mentioned Bahrain and Beirut it's becasue she used to live in Bahrain she actually went to high school in Bahrain before she became famous and she mentioned Beirut becasue she's of lebanese descent.
a few years ago two parents went out to dinner.a few hours later,the babysitter was calling to see if she could cover up the clown statue in the kid's room,the father said"Get the kids out of the house,we'll call the police we don't have a clown statue"."the clown statue" was actually a killer that escaped from jail.if you don't post this on 10 videos tonight the clown will be in your bed at 3:00 am with a chainsaw in his hand. sorry, i got scaried when i read this
no, i dont speak dutch or german :( but yeah, i love spanish my favorite language (la idioma de mi corazon lol) and it's quite easy for me cause it's quite similar to french
It's not exactly fluent Arabic. The Arabic accent is impossible for foreigners to master. Even Arabic people have trouble pronouncing their own words. It's true.
@Nouarara Actually I'm Arabic .. & the accent is difficult to foreigners but not impossible. & We dont have any trouble pronouncing our own words. Idk where you heard that but It's not true.
@diana00jonas Actually, some people do, as a matter of fact. Mostly the younger ones, but yes, some do. And the fact that we hear them differently, it's like a Southern accent from Britain and a Northern one. They're slightly different.
@Nouarara you mean Accents. For an example Morrocan people speak a little bit differently than the most of us. & Syrians speak in a different accent. And so on. but it's pretty much the same,
Man, What happened to this Shakira? A woman who wrote on her lessons in life, Things with meaning. Now she's just Loca Rabiosa Loba...? Shakira the belly dancer to Shakira the Pole dancer.
@fadou226 i hav a book about her, so im not gonna argue, u think u kno so much fine, i kno the truth
let me kno when u meet her and she tells u ur wrong...haha oh and she is colombian, she ran away from home to b singer because she didnt want to belly dance like her mom...
Dear Shakira. Your name shakira means blessed. My name Harold Benjamin Bookstein. Dar benito. Bueno senora always. I live here in connecticut can we get together at a pizza place with red wine talk. I live in Bozrah north of the coast of connecticut 20 miles. I love you. Harry (My nickname is Tauren Atheno Tamaro Ming Lai Pereira):)
oh it's amazing... though i think the spanish version's better... maybe cause this song is born in spanish and, only after, was translated to english...
then shakira was young when she recorded it... in facts its english is a bit ugly (but not like mine :) )...
she came to Bahrain and couldn't find eyes like this person's eyes? Bahrain has best eyes in the whole world!! she sings arabic real good by the way .. i'm arabic so i know :)
she came to Bahrain and couldn't find eyes like this person's eyes? Bahrain has best eyes in the whole world!! she sings arabic real good by the way .. i'm arabic so i know :)
the way I hear it: رب السماء , فيك رجائي في عينيها أرى حياتي آتي إليك , من هذا الكون أرجوك لبي , لبي ندائي * rab ulsama'i, feka raja'i fe ainayha ara hayati atee elayka, men hathal kawni arjoka labi, labi neda'i * Lord of Heavens, in you my hope lies In her eyes I see my life I come to you, from this world Please answer, answer my call
wen she says oh it sounds lik she sayin owww!thats why i dont lik it but some of the parts sound the same from the original.the original is in spanish.this is how u spell it:"Ojos Asi"

Oh This Is So Cool! My Boyfriend Is Egyptian And I'm Going To Give This Song To Him... I Just Want To Make Sure That It Was Arabic (I Thought It Was) And That I Have The Translation Right! Once Again, Going Once - Going Twice, Anybody Care To Translate What The Arabic Verses Mean In This Song? :)
