This is a beautiful song by all accounts, and if you look at the YouTube comments, even those who don't speak the language or understand the song connect with it. the feelings and the story are universal.
Now back to planet earth for a second, Nancy Ajram is both rich in real life and rich in this music video. the music video is a commercial for Damas, a Jewelry company all over the middle East that pays Nancy Ajram tons of money to promote their line of Jewels.
Aside from that, there's a handsome poor kid who works in a restaurant and has one of those scooters--he looks non Arab, maybe Italian. Nancy leaves all reality behind and falls for this guy, he stalks her of course and there's some cute things. then the rest is history.
Stalking, culturally speaking is not as bad as people would like you to think, unless you are not a person the gal desires of course. When it comes to the middle East, if someone likes a girl, then they want to know where she lives as they have to propose to hear before they talk to her--that's a tradition that has been changing of course.
Now, had this stalker been an ugly guy or someone a bit older, would that make a music video? Not sure it would. But the commercial music video takes little form this wonderful song.
