I'm a Chinese from Singapore but as a child I use to listen to this song. It's so catchy n melodious. I just love it even though i don't understand the language.
FANTASTIC!! These were the good old days! Though born in 1956,I freak out when I hear this kind of music~The 60's and 70's were fabulous,Music,as I know it DIED in the 80's!Sad!
The song is Egyptian 100% , by singer Bruno Mori, brother of Dalida, who later changed his name to Orlando and became Dalida's manager.
The song is composed by the Egyptian singer and composer Mohamed Fawzi who, along with Bruno Mori, presented other songs of this style (Franco-arab) such as (Fatoma) and (Ali Baba).
The song was spread throughout Europe and world in the 50s , and was sung by many singers, like Bob Azzam and Dario Moreno (a Jewish Turkish singer).
For those who deny that the song is Egyptian, you have to know that Egypt used to produce world stars in the past !!
