From the beginning of Ramadan, I\u2019ve been following a comic show on YouTube called \u0643\u0645\u0644\u062a<\/strong> \u0645\u0639\u064a<\/strong> \u00a0Kimle-t ma-\u0295i <\/strong>and I would like to share with you its theme song<\/strong> or \u0627\u0644\u0634\u0627\u0631\u0629<\/strong> \u00a0i\u0161-\u0161aarah<\/strong> as it\u2019s called in Syrian Arabic (the variety used in the show). The show\u2019s theme song can give you the gist of what the show is about! To help you with this, I will provide the English translation of the lyrics of the song.<\/p>\n

The plot of the show:<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n

\u0642\u0635\u0629 \u0627\u0644\u0645\u0633\u0644\u0633\u0644<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n

The show is produced by a Syrian guy<\/strong> \u0634\u0627\u0628 \u0633\u0648\u0631\u064a <\/strong>called Amro<\/strong>\u0639\u0645\u0631\u0648<\/strong> \u00a0(here\u2019s his Channel<\/a>) who lives in France and has been uploading funny videos from the comfort of his house for years now, utilising <\/strong>\u0645\u0633\u062a\u062e\u062f\u0645\u064b\u0627<\/strong> his acting talent<\/strong> \u0645\u0648\u0647\u0628\u062a\u0647<\/strong> \u0641\u064a<\/strong> \u0627\u0644\u062a\u0645\u062b\u064a\u0644<\/strong> to criticise<\/strong> \u0644\u0627\u0646\u062a\u0642\u0627\u062f<\/strong> his society<\/strong> \u0645\u062c\u062a\u0645\u0639\u0647<\/strong> in a funny style<\/strong> \u0628\u0623\u0633\u0644\u0648\u0628<\/strong> \u0645\u0636\u062d\u0643<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

The show \u0643\u0645\u0644\u062a<\/strong> \u0645\u0639\u064a<\/strong> \u00a0is about the main female character \u0623\u0645<\/strong> \u0633\u0648\u0632\u0627\u0646 <\/strong>\u00a0Um Suzaane<\/strong> who has to take care of her family (Abu Suzanne <\/strong>\u0623\u0628\u0648 \u0633\u0648\u0632\u0627\u0646 , Suzaane <\/strong>\u0633\u0648\u0632\u0627\u0646 \u00a0and Malaak <\/strong>\u0645\u0644\u0627\u0643<\/strong> ) and feed them during Ramadan. For Um Suzaane, what\u2019s terrible about this Ramadan is that her father as well as three members of her husband\u2019s family (whom she doesn\u2019t get along with at all <\/strong>\u0644\u0627 \u062a\u0646\u0633\u062c\u0645 \u0645\u0639\u0647\u0645 \u0623\u0628\u062f\u064b\u0627<\/strong>) came to visit her while the ambulance came to take some neighbours to the hospital as it turned out they have Covid-19. The family were told they need to self-isolate together and not to leave the house! This means that she will need to cook for seven people, which is a nightmare for her.<\/p>\n

The song is an expression of her frustration <\/strong>\u0625\u062d\u0628\u0627\u0637\u0647\u0627 with the situation <\/strong>\u062a\u062c\u0627\u0647 \u0627\u0644\u0645\u0648\u0642\u0641 she finds herself in <\/strong>\u0627\u0644\u0630\u064a \u0648\u062c\u062f\u062a \u0646\u0641\u0633\u0647\u0627 \u0641\u064a\u0647 <\/strong>. The show is about the way Um Suzaan decides to deal effectively with every one of them in order to eliminate problems <\/strong>\u062a\u0642\u0644\u064a\u0644 \u0627\u0644\u0645\u0634\u0627\u0643\u0644<\/strong> between them.<\/p>\n
