Ah W Noss

On the intermediate CD, there is a song called Ah W Noss by Nancy Ajram. She is quite popular in the Arab pop scene, or at least she was a few years ago, so it is interesting to see the work she produces. Here is a You Tube video of Ah W Noss with subtitles. I'm not sure I understand the exact meaning of the subtitles, but they give a feel for the meaning of the song. Of particular discussion in class was the "w noss" lyric, which some felt sounded like "woosy". According to the subtitles, this actually means "look" as in "look all you'd like (but that might be all you'll get)".
