Dalida - Salma Ya Salama
In the wide world
and it's many countries
I went around and around
and when it called me;
my first love..
i left everything
and i came
and i came
and in his embace I threw myself
and i sang
safe ..
safely
oh how sweet
we left
and we came back
safely
love is still pure
and the weather is still warm
and there is still
a moon
and after the sunset
we get together in a boat
and we stay up all night
and sing all of us together
there is a tree
in a garden
it has a sign on it
i have been thinking a lot about it
and question so often
i wonder if it exists
and is my heart engraved in it
yes
it does exist
and my heart is engraved in it
safe ..
safely
oh how sweet
we left
and we came back
safely

تقول اهواك انا مانساك You say I love you I will not forget you - A song with a little scandal story
This song is an interesting song from the 80s, from Jordan. It was a very popular song during the mid/late eighties. Check out the headbands and women's hairdos.The music also reminds me of Cindy Lauper, early Madonna stuff, David Bowe, you know, pop music of the 80s, notice the base, the synth... so 80s . I loved this song , especially the part where she is walking with a bunch of her girlfriends friends wearing Bedouin clothes and 80s headbands and tights, so funny...
The band that sings this song is a Jordanian band called Mirage, was called Mirage, they stopped singing unfortunately. They were a talented couple, a man and a woman , who are married. They got into a really bad scandal though, After which I heard they immigrated to Canada and left Jordan. So, this poor couple, who are married, it seems they enjoyed taping themselves having sex and watching themselves later, uhumm, so one day a thief came and stole their house and included in the stuff that was stolen was their VCR with guess whic tape in it?? Yes, you guessed right. Next the tape was all over the black market and with every pimple-faced teenager in Jordan and many arab countries ... the poor couple were shamed and destroyed. They had to run away to the land of the west..They say they immigrated to Canada.. masakeen..
Now isnt this is story?
I wonder what they are doing now.. I wonder if they are alive .. I hope they are .. I hope they are alive and making some very cool music ..
Cheers to Suheir and I forgot the name of her husband Sha-sha-a (sha3sha3a) سهير شعشاعة / فرقة الميراج الأردنية

Here are the lyrics translated by your truly for your pleasure.
تقول اهواك
You say I love you
You say I love you
انا مانساك
I will not forget you
I will not forget you
ليه
Why
Why
وتروح وما نرجع
and you leave and never come back?
تقول انتي القمر
you say you are (like) the moon
and you leave and never come back?
تقول انتي القمر
you say you are (like) the moon
بليل السهر
In the long night
In the long night
مثل السحر فلّيت
like magic you went away
like magic you went away
وليلي طويل
and my night is long
and my night is long
اسأل نجوم الليل
I ask the stars of the night
I ask the stars of the night
ما تيجيب
They dont answer
They dont answer
صمت الحجر قاسي
silence of the stone is cruel
واقول اخطيت
I say I did wrong
I say I did wrong
يمكن أكون اخطيت
maybe i did wrong
ونسيت
or I forgot
or I forgot
وقليبي مش ناسي
but my heart is not forgetting
تقول اهواك انا مانساك
you say I love you I will never for get you
but my heart is not forgetting
تقول اهواك انا مانساك
you say I love you I will never for get you
وتروح وما ترجع
and you leave and never come back
and you leave and never come back
يركض بينا العمر
Time runs fast
Time runs fast
شاب الشعر
my hair is getting grey
my hair is getting grey
بتمنى طلتك
I wish for you show up
I wish for you show up
وابعث مرسال ورا مرسال
I send to you
I send to you
time after time
الك
مادري تقول حسيت
I wonder if you feel me
I wonder if you feel me
تقولي كلام
you tell me words
you tell me words
احلى من الاحلام
that are sweeter than dreams
واجمل
and more beautiful
and more beautiful
ويضيع معانيه
and then all the meanings are lost
and then all the meanings are lost
تغيب سنين
you disappear for years!
وسنين تغيب وما تسأل
وسنين تغيب وما تسأل
and years you disappear
and you never ask
والعشق لمّا زال
but in love , I still am
والعشق لمّا زال
but in love , I still am
الفراق
being away from you
being away from you
يا عمري طال
has gone for too long
has gone for too long
my precious
وصعب الحال
My situation is hard
My situation is hard
ما يهدا البال
my mind never eases
تقول اهواك
you say I love you
my mind never eases
تقول اهواك
you say I love you
انا مانساك
I will never forget you
I will never forget you
ليه
why
why
وتروح وما نرجع
and you leave and you never come back?

So cold the night ...
Refrain 1:
I watch your window
I shake so scared
Spying from my room
With nervous unrest
Night after night your fingers
caressing
The skin that is so fair you slowly
undress
Chorus:
Soon we will be together
Until then so cold the night
Soon we will be together
Until then so cold the night
I know that you know that I'm here
each night
Watching and praying the time is now
right
For me to undress and caress you
Until then I'll just sit here and dream.
(chorus)
Cold the night, Cold the night
Soon my love
Soon my secret lover
Soon my love
Soon my secret lover
Soon my love
Soon my secret lover
Soon my lover
(refrain 1)
(chorus x2)
Cold the night (x6)
Ooh it's so cold without you
Cold the night (x6)
I watch your window
I shake so scared
Spying from my room
With nervous unrest
Night after night your fingers
caressing
The skin that is so fair you slowly
undress
Chorus:
Soon we will be together
Until then so cold the night
Soon we will be together
Until then so cold the night
I know that you know that I'm here
each night
Watching and praying the time is now
right
For me to undress and caress you
Until then I'll just sit here and dream.
(chorus)
Cold the night, Cold the night
Soon my love
Soon my secret lover
Soon my love
Soon my secret lover
Soon my love
Soon my secret lover
Soon my lover
(refrain 1)
(chorus x2)
Cold the night (x6)
Ooh it's so cold without you
Cold the night (x6)
