Bob Azzam [ya Mustapha ]

[drskeletone]

my name is Mostafa and i live in Alexandria :)

[childmoon2000]

I got to know this lovely song from Lebanese, Egyptian, Palestinian, and Yemenite students while I was in medical school in my native Hungary in the 1970s. We all enjoyed it and seemingly no one had an issue with claiming ownership. We all understood that it belongs to the WORLD CULTURE, with Middle Eastern/Arabic heritage. Sadly, some people attack each other and use foul language on these pages... please try to be civil and enjoy the song instead of fighting!

[shtirliz1917]

Im russian origin jew metalist and i actually like the song :D

[wilhiamas]

Not three languages but four! Pomodoro is Italian. Thanks for posting this song, I will sing it until I die!

[Csurikam]

Nagyon klassz! :)

[grimsmith1]

I remember hearing this when I was serving with the RAF in Cyprus in the 60's! We all loved it then and the locals could never understand why! Neither did we, but we loved it anyway.

[bossfazor]

el francés es el idioma del amor, el alemán, según rammstein "el idioma de la rudeza" pero el árabe es el idioma de los graandes, el idioma de la superioridad, "i'm not only perfect, i'm lebanese too" امير فرح

[kompiskoo]

cok guzel

[nellieeeeee]

Great song!

[theriverQueen01]

Wow ,Now also the Algerians claim him, what a joke!

The Arabs shouldn't blame the Zionists who steal their Heritage since they do the Same with EGYPT!

Your lies and Claims won't change the Fact that a Great Civilization like EGYPT is the land of Music and Art.

[MrSecretPretzel]

@slumezi He was not lebanese. I know. Don't judge me. His sister is my grandmother... and lives in my house.

[SuperGreatPharaoh]

the song composed by the great egyptian musician mohammed fozy

[theriverQueen01]

@samlaz

You Copy paste from Wikipedia that the Lebanese Don't have Job in this life Except Edit all the Articles about the EGYPTIAN legends and Artists and Claim them as Their own! go Check the History of the Article.

The original version of this catchy song [having a Greek style music] and its composer are controversial,many ,claim that the version of a certain singer is the original one.

@DRm2mon , it s neither greek or none of the above , it s the EGYPTIEN LEGEND MOHAMED FAOUZI , who compose that song and he did compose it franco arab to be sang by dalida who was living in FRANCE and the end up with her brother who did sing for the frist time in an egyptien movie , and at the time was a big hit in france , italy , spain so u will find different version for it

[Faraoh08]

It's ok, I wont let this Roch speak to you in that manner.

[Faraoh08]

[bazouka2323]

From the free encyclopedia. Bob Azzam, is an Egyptian jewish singer (given name Waddie George Azzam), was born in Alexandria, Egypt on October 24 1925, and died in Monaco on July 24 2004[1]. He witnessed a great success in France in the beginning of the 1960s. I saw in other place that he is lebanese in roots.

I don't care what his lineage is. Cool tune!

[soncogled]

There is and one Yugoslavian version of this song. The singer is Djordje Marjanovic, and is also is greas as this... Great song!

[warpedpig]

Dear eddy1339,

Bob Azzam is not the son of Abdel Wahab...He is of Christian Lebanese origin, but born and raised in Egypt...This also refutes jack11anbar's contention that Mr. Azzam was Jewish.

Just want to clear this up. FYI, my parents are good friends with Mr. Azzam's sister.

[theriverQueen01]

Bob Azzam is Proud ALEXANDRIAN EGYPTIAN and he's Jewish and every one knows that Alexandria was the Centre of jewish EGYPTIANS,and Bob Azzam in This song sings about "Al Attarine" it's oldest and Famous area in Alexandria Which my roots Came From it!

Stop say Rumours and Stop Stealing our Memories be proud of your Self and stop Claiming Every EGYPTIAN human being From ALEXANDRIA Came From your Country!..God Bless EGYPT!

[nayek14feb]

[khier2]

So you are a US-cunt polish. Those Egyptians were building pyramids, and the Arabs develped Algebra and Chymestry while you, polish shit and your European masters were living on trees.

[lekaslex]

Plenty respect to Egypt. I'm from Greece and have my own rich culture to be proud of but the Egyptians were just as smart. Who cares about this guy stop giving him attention that is all he wants.

[yosef201022]

@lekaslex fuck off lekaslex

[MultiAymen]

@lekaslex it's not from Egypt. The artist is an algerien christ.

[eddy1339]

To: Jack11anbar, thank you so much for bringing this old rich song. Just to correct some info. Bob Azzam is the son of Abdel Wahab Azzam, 100% Egyptian from Giza.

[stephanienourprince]

Miny Gerard, his wife, is my mother's aunt. He was like my uncle. Just to clear up anyway, he bought the rights to that song as the original did not make a serious breakthrough. From then on he took it, did some work on it, and it became very popular/demanded in Europe.

[jistenna]

This song was very popular at Detroit's Greek Town Restaurants in the 1960's.

It brings back fond memories.

[jomboojo]

Guys, this song is an Egyptian song, sung by Bob Azam, who was of Lebanese origin and lived in Egypt in the time when Egypt was a cosmopolitan country, and was economically and culturally flourishing. He was one of Egypt's jews, who soon afterwards ( after that era) decreased dramatically. He is one of those who will be a constant reminder of a time when tolerance and diversity was only natural in Egypt.

[duniaone]

yesssssss, true words!!thank you.

[LordyByron]

I first heard this tune in Germany in 1962. Became very popular. The German version was warning Mustafa, who was infatuated with the sultan's daughter, to forget about her and save his life. I heard a Greek song to this tune, also, something about a fine lady pining for her lover. Thanks for posting!

[latykai]
