I have the DVD that Zahra is dancing, its from Adam Basma Show.
My question is this: I had been told years ago that Sidi Mansour was a Syrian Song, after this DVD i'm so puzzled as dont know what to do, is it for real Tynissian? or its artist freedom using it? Any answer? Maria Aya  |

Ok i found the lyrics and translation from another forum. Now someone posted that it is asong about love and not religion. But the translation has clear religious overtones. What exactly is the context of the lyrics, that is if anyone knows:
{well serigios this song doesn't belong to hakim it belongs to a tunisian singer called "saber" and you're lucky it's in tunisian i'll do it for you first of all i want to make something clear for you sidi mansour means a very good person(dead) ,a model in terms of religion that people visit the place where he is berried to ask god for forgivness or a gift it's a wrong thing and it's forbidden in our religion but it has become a tradition that old people used to do in the past sidi=my master mansour=is the name of the good person allah allah ya baba oh god oh god ,my father we salam 3alek ya baba greetings be upon you allah allah ya baba oh god oh god ,my father we salam 3alek ya baba greetings be upon you sidi mansour ya baba sidi mansour oh father wenjek enzour ya baba 2x i'll come to visit you my father ash-had bellah ya baba god be my witness my father ma3shegt sewaah ya baba i've never loved someone but him jar7 el 7abeeb ya baba the sorrow caused by my beloved 3alaj es3eeb ya baba its cure is difficult my father wesh 7aly feeh ya baba what my state is my father malhouf 3aleeh ya baba i'm exiting for him my father wash-had bellah ya baba and god be my witness ma3shegt sewaah ya baba i've never loved someone but him wenjeek ya sidi i'll come to you my master wenjeek ya sidi i'll come to you my master beshmou3 fi eedy with candles in my hands beshmou3 fi eedy with candles in my hands wennar fi galby and the fire in my heart wennar fi galby and the fire in my heart ta7reg wareedy burns my veins ta7reg wareedy burns my veins allah allah ya baba oh god oh god ,my father we salam 3alek ya baba greetings be upon you allah allah ya baba oh god oh god ,my father we salam 3alek ya baba greetings be upon you sidi mansour ya baba sidi mansour oh father wenjek enzour ya baba 2x i'll come to visit you my father we ka7eel el 3een ya baba the one with black eyes my father 7elw el khadeen ya baba with beautiful cheecks 7elw wi mabghour ya baba beautiful and fascinating wi 3aiounu b7oor ya baba his eyes are like the sea wi kharegt ma3aah ya baba and drowned with him 3asebni jfah ya baba his absence tortured me wi ka7eel el 3ain the one with black eyes khada galbi le feen where did he took my heart sidi waseeny my master,ease me sidi waseeny my master ease me a7ki wi 7akeeny speak and tell me sabarli 7aal7 make me resist 3alli naseeny the one who forgot me 3alli naseeny the one who forgot me allah allah ya baba oh god oh god ,my father we salam 3alek ya baba greetings be upon you allah allah ya baba oh god oh god ,my father we salam 3alek ya baba greetings be upon you sidi mansour ya baba sidi mansour oh father wenjek enzour ya baba i'll come to visit you my father hey hey hey ash-had bellah ya baba god be my witness my father ma3shegt sewaah ya baba i've never loved someone but him ash-had bellah god be my witness ma3shegt sewaah ya baba i've never loved someone but him sidi mansour ya baba sidi mansour oh father wenjek enzour ya baba i'll come to visit you my father allah allah ya baba oh god oh god ,my father we salam 3alek ya baba greetings be upon you allah allah ya baba oh god oh god ,my father we salam 3alek ya baba greetings be upon you sidi mansour ya baba sidi mansour oh father wenjek enzour ya baba i'll come to visit you my father hey hey hey we ka7eel el 3een ya baba the one with black eyes 7elw el khadeen ya baba..... the one with beuatiful cheeks 08-14-2007, 11:22 AM #1254 (permalink) Sergios Senior Member} Join Date: Jan 2007 Location: Ukraine, Mariupol' Reputation: 18 not Yasmine
