OK, Shira.net used to have it on her site, but now it's gone! Help! I can't seem to find it anywhere else on the net, either.
Does anyone have a copy of these lyrics? If so, can you please post them here?
Thanks!!!!

Re: Lamma Bada Yata Thanna lyrics?
Thu, March 30, 2006 - 9:51 AMHere's a couple-three translations; still interested to see whatever else someone comes up with...
--------------------------------------------------------------
Translation is by Chris Vancil:
When she started to walk with a swinging gait
Her beauty amazed me
I have become prisoner of her eyes
Her stem folded as she bent
O my promise, O my perplexity
Who can answer my complaint
About love and suffering
But the beautiful one?
----------------------------------------------------------------
The lyrics are listed in Hamza EL Din's album
_Eclipse_ as follows:
When the gossamer nymph appears,
My beloved's beauty drives me to distraction;
Surrender
Surrender
When I am enraptured by a glimpse,
My beloved's beauty is a tender branch caught by the breeze;
Surrender
Surrender
Oh my destiny, my perplexity,
No one can comfort me in my misery,
In my lamenting and suffering for love,
But for the one in the beautiful mirage;
My beloved's beauty drives me to distraction,
Surrender
Surrender
----------------------------------------------------------------
translation is by Mimi Spencer & M. Metal:
When he (she) appeared, undulating, ah! mercy!
My love's beauty charmed us.
With a look, a wink, the lover captivated us;
When the brach swayed gracefully, we were devastated.
My promise - O my puzzlement!
Who can sympathize with my complaint of love,
Except the King of beauty? -

Tue, April 4, 2006 - 8:08 AMHey hon; I'll have to look at the videos later, it was taking a long time to load. Thanks for the link!
Did you listen to the radio program about Lamma Bada? They said it was Moorish, and that's wrong! It is Andalusian, and is an Arabic song that was brought there by the Umayyad family when they were dethroned by the Abbasis of Saudi Arabia in the 7th century. The Umayyad's fled to Granada, and THEN the Moors came later in 711. According to my Egyptian teacher, Faten, who is also an accomplished Flamenco dancer and has studied in Spain for over 30 years, the history is a little different than what the books say. She says that the Umayyad's hired Turkish musicians and dancers, as their home was in Damasus, Syria. So, this song is based on what those artists created, and it must have a Turkish feel to it. This is different than what you will read in the history books, but she has actually been to Granada several times, and the stories that people tell are usually in contrast to what the books say. -

Re: Lamma Bada Yata Thanna lyrics?
Tue, April 4, 2006 - 9:56 AMI did listen to the program and when I heard the history, I was wondering if he was going to site his sources, which he didn't. It usually doesn't happen on a radio show anyway.
Thanks for the clarification, though. It good to know the right facts. -

Re: Lamma Bada Yata Thanna lyrics?
Tue, April 4, 2006 - 3:22 PMYeah, no one else knows what Faten knows, which is why I've created a dance with this info in mind! I loved hearing all the different versions of the song; you know a song is good when it survives after 1000 years!!! -
