Lena Chamamyan / Lamma Bada Yatathana

Like An Old Arabian Fairy tale...

An ancient Andalusian song....singing by Lena Chamamyan. This songs really impressed me. I mean , as if it had been came from 1001 Night Fairy Tales.  There is such storng power, the song had. Before, I had already interest with arabic culture and songs but after I started take arabic course, my interest grew day by day. Actually my origin came from Egytp ( Dad, side not mom) maybe this interested thing can relative with my origin, I dont know... :)

Today I'm gonna focus on the song, not singer because I already talk abaout Lena Chamamyan in my one of old content. I'm searched someting about the song but sadly I could not find so much thing about the song . Lamma Bada Yatathana (لما بدا يتثنى) is and old Andalusian  song, like I said before. The song writer is  İbn Baya ( but this is not clear) and song have various cover, so much famous between Mediterranean Countries. As final information I found one of version what singing in Spanish,( my source said Spanish but I am not sure, because it sound like Greece) Hebraic and Arabic. And I want to share this version also,

Here he comes (muswashah) Lamma Bada - Bustan Abraham

And Finally here is the Lyric in Engilish;

When she started to walk with a swinging gait
aman aman aman aman
her beauty amazed me
aman aman aman aman

I have become prisoner of her eyes
aman aman aman aman
her stem folded as she bent
aman aman aman aman

O my promise, O my perplexity,
who can answer my complaint
about love and suffering
but the beautiful one?
aman aman aman aman
about love and suffering
but the beautiful one?
aman aman aman aman

Lena Chamamyan / Sareri Hovin Mernem

'What should ı say as a introductory sentence ?' Less or more 10 minute, I'm thinking about this. But I did not find remarkable sentence for first one. An Armenian song. Actually not just Armenian song ' An amazing, marvelous, magnificent, etc Armenian song.' İs that enough to describe this song quality ? I'm not sure. on the other hand, understanding this song's emation what it wants to get felt you depend on your mood and emotional background. İf you are in a blue mood and also you have a broken heart yeah, this is fit for you to passing depression time.

Lena Chamamyan. She is a Armenian singer who was born in Syria. She has an amazing voice. she was graduated from department of Business Administration. And then she studied on Classical Eastern Music at Aleppo University. Firstly Business Administration and then Music. This impressed me. Clearly, I understand that, if music in your destiny, soon or late you reach it.

As a final word here is Sareri Hovin Mernem Lyric. for today I'll also share Turkish Lyric because English one is not enough to understand the story of song.

I'll Die for the Wind of the Mountains

I'll die for the wind of the mountains 
I'll die for the wind, I'll die for the wind
I'll die for the height of my beloved
I'll die for the height, I'll die for the height

I stopped, I can't come
I can't come, I can't come
I'm filled, I can't cry
I can't cry, I can't cry

I haven't seen in a year,
Those who've seen, oh beloved, I'll die for their eyes
The rivers don't bring water
They don't bring any news from you

Your heart must be frozen
Your love, oh beloved, they don't bring it in vain
I stopped, I can't come
I can't come, I can't come

I'm filled, I can't cry
I can't cry, I can't cry
I haven't seen in a year,
Those who've seen, oh beloved, I'll die for their eyes

Dağların rüzgarına öleyim

Dağların rüzgarına öleyim
Yarimin boyuna öleyim
Bir yıldır ki görmemişim
Görenin gözüne öleyim
Durmuşum gelemiyorum
Dolmuşum ağlayamıyorum
Bir yıldır ki görmemişim
Görenin gözüne öleyim
