[QUOTE=Shoshana] [Hatten är din](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hatten_%C3%A4r_din) [/QUOTE] Oh WOW! I just learned a lot! I always liked that bizarre video, but I thought it really was Swedish–I figured it was a silly nonsense song by some Middle-Eastern guy living in Sweden. I could read and understand the words, but it never occurred to me that it was a real Arabic song that just happened to sound a lot like Swedish! I’m blown away. Wow. So is there a translation of the actual Arabic words to English? Is it a love song or something? ---
