| gargai3an oo gargai3an bait ig9ayir wir'maythan 3adat 3alaikom 9iyam kil sina oo kil 3am Allah y5ali DANIELLE Allah y5alha lomha 3asa il bog3a mat5omha wala twasi 3al'omha salim waladhom y'allah 5ala lomah y'allah salim LAURENCE y'allah 5ala lomah y'allah Allah y5ali JOSEPH Allah y5ala lomah Allah y5ali JOSEPH Allah y6awel 3omra kil 3am wintaw b5air! for a rough translation: gargai3an and gargai3an a little house in ramadan may it find you fasting next year every year God keep danielle God keep her for her mother may nothing bad pass over her or bring sorrow to her mother keep their son safe, o God keep him for his mother, o God keep laurence safe, o God keep him for his mother, o God God keep joseph God keep him for his mother God keep joseph God grant him a long life i hope you're well every year! traditional song for this time of lunar year. enjoy! it's called gargai3an, and it's like trick-or-treating. kids dress in traditional clothing and go from door to door. they sing these songs inserting the name of the children of the house, and in exchange get candy and things. if the house you go to doesn't ahve any candy to give, you say: wees wees, fee baitkom ja3amees. wees wees (ew ew), there's shit in your house. well, not shit, just manure. you get the idea. it's like a kuwaiti halloween. it's fun! there's a song for girls and two songs for boys. which worked out great for my americans! p.s. i needed a 2-syllable name so i expanded joe. i can't think of a single kuwaiti guy name with one syllable. the end. |
