KHALED [1996] - Aïcha



1db074cdb9a4553863be1792cc3366eb.jpg


The original French single was never released in an album, though Khaled's 1996 album Sahra featured a bilingual version of the song sung in both French and Arabic. The Arabic lyrics for the bilingual version of the song are written by Khaled. The song's lyrics are about a woman named Aïcha, who is being wooed by a man. He promises her pearls, jewels, poems, and other luxuries, to which she replies :

Keep your treasures
I want more than all that
Bars are bars, even if made of gold
I want the same rights as you
And respect for each day
I don't want anything but love​

I'm tripping in 25e-NBOH and this is really touching me today. I had an R Carlos Nakai tape as a kid.

Julie Fowlis - Òran an Ròin / The Song of the Seal



A traditional Gaelic song from the voice of the seal people or selkies — creatures who were said to shed their seal skin and take on the human form at certain times of the year. Thought to move between the parallel worlds of sea and land, but never truly belonging to either, selkies could change to human form at certain times and come ashore. They sometimes took human lovers while human, but usually returned to the sea. Woe be unto they who harm them or their kin.​

That's beautiful. I know all about selkies. I saved it in a folder on YT.

I don't have a lot of World Music, but this Melbourne woman does a lot of spiritual stuff and sings in Greek sometimes. This one is in English (obviously) but your song reminded me of it. Also, I'm distantly related to an Irish playwright/poet, JM Synge, who was a friend and associate of WB Yeats ☺️
