Hi,

About year ago or more I requested help on translating lyrics for the
piece "Ouad El Habib" by Yello, 1982.
I got several replies then; I tryed to learn to read the arabic text
from the book I found from the library, but I'm sure the text on that
book is a bit too small and fuzzy to get the fine details out. Sad..
I too got a good reference, but I didn't found it near me.

Finaly I have got the lyrics scanned to the computer; it's about
11 kbytes gif image file. If anybody is interested in to translate the
text to English for me, the file is available via anonymous FTP from
nic.funet.fi [128.214.6.100], from the directory pub/graphics.
File is named as habib.gif.
I can e-mail it upon (sp?) request in uuencoded format.
