Thread: What does ooloo or oolooloo mean?

I have heard it in a lot of songs lately.

I think it's "tell him" and ooli is "tell her"--I could be wrong though. :)

no thats right..it means tell him...

the lyrics of the song are

ooloolouu , ooloulou baheboo....


"tell him, tell him i love him"


(its in masculine because most arabic songs, regardless of whether the singer is a man or woman, and regardless of wheather the words are for a man or woman , is sung in masculine..its pretty common..so although abd el halim is probably singing re: a girl, its still in masc.)

thanks!

What they said. :)

If you mean the Abdel Halim Hafez song, Shira has the lyrics on her site.

OMG, that's the Abdul Halim song that is haunting me right now! It's on the Rhapsody playlist that I seem to hit every time I'm at the computer.

..i love the rendition that starts with the clapping hands and the sax!
