My last match was a Stanley Cup game at the Flyers.... shame they wear orange white and black... I also got to see them in training in Berlin, New Jersey. Their netminder went from cult to legendary status overnight. Who was he and what is the story?
 
If we are to continue.

What is this all about?
السلطان قال البوجي مان
من الحرقة بركاو
واش واش هاد الفوضى
البترول في الصحرا يسيل
الشيخ يسوق في الكاديلاك
راه هابط لسونتر فيل
كان دبان
ولا حنش
يستنى في راس المال

Here is a tranlation:
Sultan said Bouji Man Of heartburn Barakao Snitch snitch Haad chaos Oil dripped in the Desert Sheikh marketed in Cadillac Rah bearish for Phil Sontr Was Dban Nor Hanash Excluded in capital
 
In Persian the tranlation is :
Sultan fireproof our Albvjy I Alhrqh Brkav Had wash wash Alfvzy Faye Albtrvl Alshra Ysyl Sheikh Ysvq Faye Alkadylak Habt the elephant Lsvntr Kahn Dban Vela Hnsh Faye Ross Ystny treasury.

In Urdu it is:
Albujy extremely Mrs. Mann Alhrqة the Burka Wash Wash هad alfuzى Albtrul fasting alshra ysyl Sheikh ysuq fasting alكadylaك هabt way lsuntr failure Ear coercion Villa hns Ystnى fasting capital
 
Alternatively it is "Rock the Casbah" lyrics as sung by Racid Taha. I have a copy of this version of The Clash song somewhere.

The original lyrics are:

Now the king told the boogie men
You have to let that raga drop
The oil down the desert way
Has been shakin' to the top
The sheik he drove his Cadillac
He went a-cruisin' down the ville
The muezzin was a' standing
On the radiator grille


Google translate clearly can't cope with colloquial Algerian Arabic, especially when it has been translated from colloquial punk English

NZH you are correct. These words are the Rachid Taha version of the Clash song Rock The Casbah, they perhaps are wrong I got them from a Rachid Taha lyrics website.
