Shakira To Sing in Arabic

I am not sure if this report is accurate, but it says that Shakira will be performing one song in Arabic during her performances in the Arab world. Her concert tour includes stops in Dubai, Tunisia, Cairo and Lebanon.

This is almost completely unrelated, but did you know that Google Language Tools has a beta version of translation between English and Arabic? I hope people from both cultures will use this new tool to foster better understanding.


يمكنكم ان تقولوا لي كيف كنت؟ لقد ضيعت فرصة لي بلدي؟ لقد تغير
اي تمنياتي المخاوف والاحلام خطط لب لد


My apologies if this snippet of lyric is very badly translated. I cannot read Arabic.
