    Shankoty, Essam Karika. Anyone know the translation?

    Even Roughly?

    I believe he is Egyptian [may be wrong] so I presume it is Arabic. Anyone able to give me even a sense of what he is saying? Had this one specifically requested- and I hate dancing to something where I don't know what they are saying.
    Thanks in Advance!

    Re: Shankoty, Essam Karika. Anyone know the translation?

    Just for the record, I received the following from someone else:

    el-wad el-wad el-wad da eih, shankouty // What's that guy, that guy, that guy? Shankouty!
    el-wad el-wad el-wad da eih, shankouty // What's that guy, that guy, that guy? Shankouty!

    elli ykoun kaddab wabu lama3a weyshaghel fe banat el-gam3a // The guy who's a big liar and tries to flirt with college girls
    yeb'a l-wad da eih, shankouty // What does that make him? Shankouty!

    welli beyes-har wayya l-shilla ye3akes fel-telefoon // The guy who stays up late with his buddies and says the opposite on the phone
    weykallem fe Habibet SaHbu wa-yoghdor bih weykhoun // And talks to his friend's girlfriend and backstabs and betrays him
    yeb'a l-wad da eih, shankouty // What does that make him? Shankouty!

    elli maloush shoghl wa-mefalles wa-beyeshar lel-SobH yehalles // The guy who doesn't have a job, is broke, and stays up till the morning messing around with girls
    yeb'a l-wad da eih, shankouty // What does that make him? Shankouty!

    welli ykoun zayy el-barashoot law shafak ma3a nas // The guy who comes out of nowhere if he sees you with people
    yigi yoHshor nafsu fel-'a3da wa-ma3andoush eHsas // And comes to butt in, sitting down without any consideration
    yeb'a l-wad da eih, shankouty // What does that make him? Shankouty!

    elli 3amel nafsu Valentino wa-koll banat el-koon 3agbinu // The guy who tries to act like Valentino and likes every girl in the universe
    yeb'a l-wad da eih, shankouty // What does that make him? Shankouty!

    welli elli ye3ashshem bent gamila wa-ya3mel basha wa hi // The guy who makes big promises to a pretty girl and makes himself look like a rich guy
    ya3mellaha mel-baHr TaHina wey'ollaha bye-bye // Exaggerates a lot and then says bye-bye
    yeb'a l-wad da eih, shankouty // What does that make him? Shankouty!

    Shankouty being a made up word indicating a player/similar.

    Hope it helps someone else!
