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

Fairouz - Kanou Ya Habibi

Someting changed, but someting still same

This time an arabic song from Lebanon. Kanou Ya Habibi. İt is Look like a totally arabic song name, is not it. But it is not. Actually this is a russian song, name Polyushka Polye. Actually I shared it before. But when I heard songs arabic version I said my self ' I must share this lovely peace on my blog!' and now I'm sharing. I shared this song with a title like that ' This song is my destiny' or something like that. But lots of thing changed in my life,and I learn that destiny can change. İn fact destiny is to sum of our choice. So there is a new day, there is a new path for me. ı feel that everything will be okey. I am happy right now. I really had bad time. but right now I'm okey :)

And also I still like Poluska Pole and the new version of PP ; Kanou ya Habibi

Actually I have not much information about Fairouz. But I just read about her. And she have so much fan from Turkey. And this is really interesting, ı think. So I will listening another song of this women and maybe in another content I can share Fairouz Story.

Souad Massi / Hayati

Oh My Lovely Souad Massi

Such a pretty song,.. actually all of this woman songs is perfect. she also have French songs. But today I gonna talk about Hayati. Actually I dont know why I choosed Hayati. I was little bit confused about what I should share as a next content. But suddenly I decided on Hayati.

My Life..

'Hayati' ( حياتي) means ' My life'. Maybe reason is this. Quite recently, I all the time thinking about my life. I mean my past. Why all this things happen to me ? really whats wrong with me ? I cant stop thinking about all this things what happen in last 4 month. Anyway, I have to forget somethings, and forgive someones. Therefore, I can smile again.

I know, I did not talk about Who is Massi, where is she from, what is special about her... İn another songs of Souad Massi, I will tell everything about her.

Finally here is Engilish lyric of song

My Life

How much of a book I have read
How much of tales I have been told
I asked who tried
They left nothing but empty lines

I didn't know the way to sun
And the flowers wilted in spring
I find prison in every home
The bird I've sent returned back to me

I am living in a dream
one time we believe and sometimes not
They told me everything will be dicovered by time
Who sell dreams let me know

The truth can't be seen from lies
except what is high on mountains
Sun sets in morning

They covered the sun for me by the riddle

Rainfalls doesn't extinguish,
The burning fire inside of me
My tears are not enough
No one knows of me but God

Pallett - Mr. Violet - Baz Baran

We share same feelings but in different words

After a long time, I'm back and I finally wrote something. I know for such a long time I did not write anything. But I had reasons for this situation. Depression, working, and again depression... But I got over all tough times. I hope I will have more good time than my past. But my biggest problem was that I could not decide what I supposed to share. I had to share something, I mean song, that it should be more special than I shared ones until this time. Something really different, something, really from me. And suddenly I heard this song ( thanks to my younger sis) and I said ' yeah this is exactly what I want to share.

Azerbaijani, Armenian, Kurdish, Persian..

First part of the song is kurdish ( and also kurdish is my second mother language :) second part of song is persian. You can heard this song in armenian, Azerbaijani and (you can't believe but ) even in Greece. Actually this is what I really try to do with my blog. You know we lived lots of historical things in this area ( Turkey, Armenia Azerbaijan,Persian Iraq..) I called old Mesopotamia. We are still same people, we are share same history, same feelings same pains and same songs... We are not different. And I think we have to keep trying to remember our comman culture and music is the best way to remember of this.

For today thats all from me,

Please write me back whatever you want

I love you all :)
