Fairuz: Habbaytak Bil-Saif [I Loved You in the Summer] فيروز – حبيتك بالصيف On a cold winter day بأيام البرد وأيام الشتي When the pavement becomes a lake and the streets are drowning والرصيف بحيرة والشارع غريق A girl would come from her old house تجي هاك البنت من بيتها العتيق He would tell her "wait for me," so she would wait in the street ويقلا انطريني وتنطرعالطريق He would leave and forget her while she withered in the rain. ويروح وينساها و تدبل بالشتي I loved you in the summer, I loved you in the winter حبيتك بالصيف حبيتك بالشتي I waited for you every summer, I waited for you every winter نطرتك بالصيف نطرتك بالشتي Your eyes became my summer, mine became your winter وعيونك الصيف وعيوني الشتي Our meeting place my love will be beyond seasons and time. ملقانا يا حبيبي خلف الصيف وخلف الشتي A stranger passed by and gave me a letter ...

Lebanon’s Web Series 'Shankaboot' Receives International Digital Emmy Award (2011)
Shankabooting at the Emmy's: Lebanon's web series Wins Big
Watch all webisodes of Shankaboot (4 Seasons) on YouTube at THIS LINK.
Shankaboot is an amazing, fresh and creative web series from Lebanon that features a talented cast of characters portraying different 'stereotypes' of Lebanese society--interwoven with a great plot--all in HD quality and with optional ENGLISH SUBTITLES.
Below are some of the many creative and poignant videos produced by Shankaboot- The first Arabic web series from the streets and rooftops of Beirut.
TETA AT THE AIRPORT:
In this first clip, Teta (Arabic for Granma) is left alone after Yara has left. At the airport she speaks out as the funny Teta we all know. She even talks about Facebook!!
تيتا صارت لحالها بعد ما يارا سافرت، بالمطار تيتا بتحبنا عن أسباب هيدي السفرة

POIGNANT PARODY: Madame Najem advises Lebanese women on the subject of Domestic workers:
WARNING: THIS VIDEO IS DELIBERATELY OFFENSIVE
Here is another video clip that was cleverly done by Shankaboot- the first Arabic web series from the streets and rooftops of Beirut. This is an amazingly poignant parody (SNL style) of certain Lebanese "high-class" ladies and the way they treat/speak about their maids. Yet the actress (Ingrid Bawwab) is so good at getting into character that one could forget that it is a parody!
Of course, this is in fact part of a campaign against the mistreatment of domestic workers in Lebanon. The actress in the video does an amazing job of making people aware of this shameful reality while seeming to take herself very seriously.

After Madame Najem 'polished' the image of Lebanon with her views on domestic workers, it is time now for Doulica to speak out.

LINA'S LIFE WITH COMPUTERS:
"My Life is Computers" is yet another one of Shankaboot's creative videos illustrating characters that feel familiar while mixing realism with amazing portrayals. Here we meet Lina who rarely speaks to anyone from behind the horn-rimmed glasses. In theis video, she says a few words about Computers, hacking, her family and Suleiman. These videos are meant to go along and promote "Shakaboot: The Web Series" but they can also be enjoyed as stand-alone clips. Watch below or at this link.
