Salma Ya Salama

Fi ed-donia el kebira
We beladha el ketira
Laffeit laffeit laffeit

Wi lamma nadani

Hobbi el awalani
Sibt kollo we geit we geit
We fi hodno itramait we ghaneit

Selma ya salama
Rohna we Geina bel-salama
Selma ya salama
Rohna we Geina bel-salama

Lessa el-hob safi
We lessa el-guaw dafi
We lessa fih amar
We ba’d el-maghareb
Netlamleim fi areb
We yetoul es-sahar es-sahar
We es-samar wel ghona koleina

Selma ya salama
Rohna we geina bel-salama
Selma ya salama
Rohna we Geina bel-salama

Fih shagara goua
Guineina ‘aliha ‘alama
Ana yamma kont bafakkar fiha
We basaal yama
Ya tara mawgouda
We albi mahfour fiha
Aiwa mawgouda
We albi mahfour fiha

Selma ya salama
Rohna we geina bel-salama
Selma ya salama
Rohna we Geina bel-salama

English translation

Translation Salma ya Salama

Versions: #1#2

In the big world

And its many countries

I turned around, turned around (the world)

And when my first love called me

I left everything and came back

And i throw myself in his lap

And sang

Salma ya Salama

We went away and got back safely

Salma ya Salama

We went away and got back safely

The love is still pure

And the weather is still warm

And the moon is still here

And after the sunset

we gather in a little boat

And our night will be long

And the fun, the sining too….. together:

Salma ya Salama

We went away and got back safley

Salma ya Salama

We went and got back safley

There is a tree in

A garden with a mark on it

I always thought about it and wondered

If it’s still there and my heart is engraved on it

yes! it’s still there and my heart is engraved on it!

Youssef teaches the Arabic pronunciation:

The original by Dalida:

Salama Ya Salama (Karaoke):

The fifth graders will be dancing Saidi to this:

Parents, be sure to get you permission sips in.  The third and fourth graders will be part of a participating audience of over 2400 students who will be singing and playing recorder with the Oregon Symphony.  This year the focus is on music that swings by Duke Ellington, Georgia Gershwin, etc.

Last week we explored creating our own melodies, using an Indian raga, called Yaman.  Many of the children at Forest Park seem to have access to piano keyboards at home.  Use this diagram to help you find the notes “F” and “C.”  Play them over and over again with your left hand while you play in Yaman with your right hand.  Remember that F and C are you most restful notes while E and B express the most tension because they want to go to F and C.

Here Dr. Bob play Yaman on the clarinet here!
