Thread: Awi-Awi *Got it uploaded to Bhuz*

I've been humming Gamal Goma's "Awi-Awi" the last few days. Bouncy tune & I like it, but haven't had much luck finding lyrics. Can anyone enlighten me as to what he's singing about? Total translation/transliteration is great, but just the gist would be fine, too ..g.:

don't think i know that song (or at least can't recognize it solely on the title) but doesn't 'awi' mean 'a lot' or 'very much'? it's the dialect pronounciation of 'qawi'...
maybe that will help u a little bit? lol

yah, i knew awi means 'a lot' or 'very', and he sings "awi-awi" as the chorus but I'm not sure what's being said in the rest of the song

You can try contacting him to ask. He speaks perfect English and he's a total sweetheart! :)

I don't have the song. If you post a clip, I can give you the meaning of the song.

-Bella..g.:

I second sending him an e-mail. He really is the nicest guy ever!

hmm...i tried to email him but something's wrong with his webpage, gives an error.

so i tried to upload the song to bhuz & i can't because it's in wma format, not mp3. can i convert it from wma to mp3? i'm technologically clueless here ..l;,

You can download a program called switch sound file converter for free and it will change it over for you.

Thanks Linnyg ..g.: I'll do that tonight after class

Okay, it's uploaded..Awi-Awi by Gamal Gomaa

OK. Roughly:

My baby, whom I love
My love who I dream of living near(him/her)
and never leave(him/her)


*repeat

Wore me out!
Really! Really!
Hurt me!
Really Really!
Left me!
Really! Really!
Hurt me!
Really! Really!

Because I need his/her love,
He/She took my heart and
Made me moan(in pain)

*repeat chorus

Never considerate, never kind! always arrogant (really! Really!)


Repeat chorus!

Why must we accept his/her mistreatment?
Because of her beauty?

*Chorus

Thank you! Thank you!
