Wanted: Arabic speaking friend for fun, exciting email exchange. Must be able to translate Nawal, Najwa and most pop music, in addition to fielding my questions about context. You can look forward to long tedious questioning emails. I can pay you in leftover Halloween candy.
Sigh. I have gotten to the point where I just can't dance to a song if I don't know what the lyrics mean. Since I mostly dance to and enjoy Arabic pop, this leaves me with scores of untranslated songs. There are some translations online, but they never seem to be my favorite songs. Sigh. I need to borrow an Arabic friend. I promise I won't be that annoying. I am happily married, so all I really need you for is translation. If that makes you feel used, in return I can answer any questions you may have about such things as "how to make buffalo chicken dip", " the best way to get two kids to bed as quickly as possible" and " three steps to shampooing carpets that have gum and other mystery items ground into them". I am a virtual hotbed of knowledge, I am. There will be no naked pictures or cybersex, unless you count the hot blushing excitement I feel when I finally learn what the hell my favorite songs mean. If you want to be used for your native tongue, then I am your girl. If you want to work hard for nothing in return, then I am waiting. If you say to yourself " no one ever asks me to translate anything", hey, here I am. My email is primed and ready.
O.k.this is somewhat tongue- in -cheek, but seriously, what's a girl got to do to get a song translated 'round here?
