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 able to translate?
Tue, May 26, 2009 - 6:39 PM"shankooty" is not an arabic word. It is a made up word to fit into the song. From the lyrics, it looks like it means a "player, bad boy, someone without feelings"
example part of the lyrics go like this:
a person who stays up on the phone all night talking to his best friend's girl is a shankooty.
ha ha... hope that helps. -
