علي بلد المحبوب وديني..زاد وجدي والبعد كاويني.. يا حبيبي انا قلبي معاك, طول ليلي سهران ويااااك.. تتمني عيني رؤياك, اشكي لك وانت تواسيني .. يا هنايا لما افرح بيك واتهني في قربك واناجيك ..وعينيا تبقا في عينيك احكيلك وانت تراعيني .. يا مسافر علي بحر النيل انا ليا في مصر خليل من حبة ما بنام الليل .. علي بلد المحبوب وديني

@P2K725 Could I also get the arabic version?

[P2K725]

@afghanshorty Check the comments, I just posted.

[dasamitabh]

I'm shocked Ghar aja mera pardeshi is a rip off !! Atleast Indians got to hear great music.

[SuperBestever]

Beautiful voice, and beautiful song!

[paritosh1sharma]

This is the original

[mrsSukiJones]

Ok maybe Bollywood copied it...but I think they improved the melody at least. It is not that hard to copy/cover a song, but to actually improve it is an art!

I like this version as well, but the other manages to touch my heart

[nostalgiahistoria67]

A classic song by the legend!

[kowaara]

this is like: ghar aaya mera pardesi...i dont know who coppied who lol

[P2K725]

@kowaara Haha, me either.

[TheAfganking]

@P2K725 This the orignal Ghar aya was sung by Oum Kalthoum in 1935. The tune infact is more than hundred years old composed by Philip Lahori Munda From New York.

[drhida]

@kowaara

alabaladi was made circa 1935

ghar aaya mera pardesi was in 1951

[MEHROOM]

@kowaara as usual india copy..this song sung during 1930s ..and ghar aya in 1950s..

[khaifai]

beautifull voice..i like this..

[redasakhi007]

The song is talking about a woman missing her beloved who is far away from her..

She starts by saying (like she is talking to someone else):

"Take me to the place where my beloved is..i'm suffering from being so far from him..

oh my love, my heart is with you..sitting with(or talking to) you all my nights..

my eyes are wishing to see you..so i can complaine and you consolate me..

my happyness is when i'm happy for you, and happy to stay beside you and talk to you..

(read next comment)

[redasakhi007]

And my eyes are looking to yours..I talk to you and you take care of me..

oh you who is sailling on the Nile river, i have a beloved in the city..

because of his love i don't sleep..take me to the place where my beloved is..

She was talking to sailing man ;)

sorry for my bad english..but i tried to translate the meanning of the song and not literally what she said.. ;)

[P2K725]

@redasakhi007 Thank you very much but doing so!
