Have you ever heard of the phrase "Music Globalization"?
If not...Then this is the best way to know my definition of that phrase!
The song released in Latifa's official website a week or so before the official release of the album on 12th of July 2008.
The first time I heard it It shocked me, I didn't expect to listen to anything like that ever...The song mixes genuine Arab singning teqniqe which is "Arab Tarab" (طرب عربي) - you can hear it when Latifa start singing in the beggining - with an Arab sad melody played with violin, in some parts it feels like the violin is dancing with the westurn disco beat and the electro guitar in the song, I can rephrase that to mixing two extreme unrelated music from two different worlds in a great harmony.
I can't explain that anymore, but you have to listen to it and you'll figure it out (and I would love to know what do you think).
As far as I know, the music video is going to release soon...I will add it here when it's out, maybe with English subtitles since many anonymous people requested the translations of the song (I didn't relize that people actually read my blogs!)
UPDATE: They refer to this music genre as "TekTonik" or "Tectonic", it even has it's own dance!
This is the first Arab Tektonik song, Latifa mixed it with Arab instruments.

In the last few days...
He had enough strength to live his life without me...Why?
I can't believe that he accepted to allow the night to fall while he is not beside me!
If he was planning for something...
Why didn't he tell me about it?!
People, When he forget all about me...My life will end instantly!
I've never thought he would push me away and live with other people...
My dear heart, with whom shall I forget my agony if he walked away; and I will always wonder my beloved one now belongs to who?
What is he doing now and where is he?
If one day he saw me with his own eyes...
That day he will feel sorry about me...
Without him, my heart is scared because it already knows the subsequence of being apart
I've never thought he would push me away and live with other people...
My dear heart, with whom shall I forget my agony if he walked away; and I will always wonder my beloved one now belongs to who?
ف الكام يوم اللى فاتوا جالة قلب يعيش حياته
من غيرى أنا بس ليه؟
معقول يرضاها ليّا يجى يوم الليل عليا
ومايبقاش جانبى فيه؟!
لو فى حاجة ناويها لية ماقالش عليها؟
لو نسينى خلاص ساعتها ياناس
هروح أنا فيها
أنا ماستنيتش منه يبعدنى عنه
ويعيش لناس تانيين
مع مين أنا هنسى تعبى لو راح ياقلبى
وهقول حبيبى لمين؟
عامل أية ودلوقتى فينه؟
لو شافنى فى يوم بعينه
يومها ما أصعب عليه
قلبى من بعده خايف
أصلة مجرب وعارف
البعد بيعمل أيه
لو فى حاجة ناويها لية ماقالش عليها؟
لو نسينى خلاص ساعتها ياناس
هروح أنا فيها
أنا ماستنيتش منه يبعدنى عنه
ويعيش لناس تانيين
مع مين أنا هنسى تعبى لو راح ياقلبى
وهقول حبيبى لمين؟
