Salama Ya Salama - Dalida
Salama ya Salama By Dalida
Un homme des sables
Des plaines sans arbres
S'en va de son pays
Au-dela des dunes
Courir la fortune
Car le paradis pour lui
Ce n'est qu'un jardin sous la pluie
Salma Ya Salama
Je te salue ya salama
Salma Ya Salama
Je reviendrai Be Salama
Un homme des sables
Pour faire le voyage
N'a que l'espoir au coeur
Un jour il arrive
Il touche la rive
Il voit devant lui des fleurs
La grande riviere du bonheur
Salma Ya Salama
Je te salue ya salama
Salma Ya Salama
Je reviendrai Be Salama
C'etait un mirage
Il n'y avait pas de riviere
Et la bonne et riche douce terre n'etait que du sable
Il reprend sa course
Vers une autre source
Il fnira par trouver
Le puits de la liberte
Salma Ya Salama
Je te salue ya salama
Salma Ya Salama
Je reviendrai Be Salama
Un homme des sables
Des plaines sans arbres
S'en va de son pays
Au-dela des dunes
Courir la fortune
Le seul paradis pour lui
C'etait un jardin sous la pluie
Salma Ya Salama
Je te salue ya salama
Salma Ya Salama
Je reviendrai Be Salama
Salma Ya Salama
Je te salue ya salama
Salma Ya Salama
Je reviendrai Be Salama
Dalida .
Dalida (17 January 1933 – 3 May 1987) was an Egyptian born singer of Italian origin who lived most of her life in France. She received 55 gold records and was the first singer to receive a diamond disc.
Dalida was born Yolanda Cristina Gigliotti to middle-class parents in Shoubra, Cairo, Egypt. Her family was of Italian origin, her grandparents having emigrated at the turn of the century from Calabria. The middle child between two brothers, Orlando and Bruno (who would later in Dalida's career change his name to Orlando like his other brother and become her manager). Dalida’s father was first violin (primo violino) at the Cairo Opera. Dalida’s early life was spent in the district of Shoubra, where she attended Catholic school.
In 1951, Dalida entered a beauty pageant, and shortly after began working as a model for a Cairo-based fashion house. In 1954, she entered the Miss Egypt pageant, and was awarded first prize. It was here she was spotted by French director Marc de Gastyne, and, much to the reluctance of her parents, she moved to Paris on Christmas Eve of the same year with the intention of pursuing a career in motion pictures. It was about this time she adopted the name Dalila, which was shortly thereafter changed to the more familiar Dalida.
Dalida performed and recorded in more than 10 languages including: French, Italian, Arabic, German, Spanish, Hebrew, English, Dutch, Japanese, and Greek. Some of Dalida's most well known songs are: Avec le temps, Je suis malade, Paroles, Paroles (with Alain Delon), Il venait d'avoir 18 ans, Gigi l'Amoroso, Salma ya salama and Laissez-moi danser .
Dalida’s quest for a career in French cinema proved to be of limited success. Instead, she began taking singing lessons, and was booked as a cabaret act on the Champs Elysées, which proved successful. Performing the song "Etrangère au Paradis" in a variety show at Coquatrix’s recently-opened Paris Olympia theatre, Dalida was introduced to Lucien Morisse and Eddie Barclay, who played a considerable part in launching the starlet’s career. Morisse was artistic producer of the popular Radio Europe 1, and Barclay an established record producer. After signing a recording contract with Barclay, Dalida’s debut single "Madona" was promoted heavily by Morisse, and was a moderate success. However, the release of "Bambino" in 1956 would prove to be even more triumphant - it spent 46 weeks in the French top ten and remains one of the biggest-selling singles in French history, and for its sales (which exceeded 300,000 copies) Dalida was awarded her first gold disc, presented on 17 September 1957. In the same year, she would also support Charles Aznavour at The Olympia. The follow up single to "Bambino", the exotic-sounding "Gondolier", was released in the Christmas on 1957, was also a great success, as were other early releases such as "Come Prima (Tu Me Donnes)", "Ciao Ciao Bambina", and a cover of The Drifters’ "Save the Last Dance For Me", "Garde-Moi la Dernière Danse".
Dalida toured extensively from 1958 through the early 1960s, playing dates in France, Egypt, Italy and The United States. Her tour of Egypt and Italy spread her fame outside of France and Dalida soon became well-known throughout Europe. However, her tour of America was less successful and fame eluded her in English-speaking markets.
In 1961, Dalida performed a month of shows at the Olympia, with each selling out completely. Shortly afterwards Dalida embarked upon a tour of Hong Kong and Vietnam. Throughout the 1960s Dalida would frequently perform sell-out shows at The Olympia, and international dates became more frequent. In December 1968, she was awarded the Médaille de la Présidence de la République by Général de Gaulle, the only person from the music industry to have received this accolade.
The early 1970s became a transitional period for the singer, highlighted by some of her most successful singles . After gaining a keen interest in academia in the mid-1960s she chose to sing songs with more profound lyrics. Bruno Coquatrix was dubious about Dalida’s career evolution, and was hesitant to book her for a series of performances in 1971. Dalida hired the hall herself, and her show was met with an impressive public response. In 1973, a French version of the Italian song "Paroles Paroles", originally performed by Mina, was recorded by Dalida and her close friend Alain Delon. The song became a big hit and was the number one single in France and Japan. The follow up, "Il Venait d’Avoir Dix-Huit Ans", reached number one in nine countries, and sold three and a half million copies in Germany. "Gigi l’Amoroso", released in 1974, would actually perform better in the charts than its predecessor, reaching number one in 12 countries. Touring would follow this period of unprecedented sales, with Dalida performing in Japan, Canada and Germany. In February 1975, French music critics presented the singer with the prestigious Prix de l'Académie du Disque Français.
