Oum Kulthum // أم كلثوم - One Thousand & One Nights // ألف ليلة وليلة Lyrics+Translation (Alf Laila)

One of the most famous Arabic songs of all time; Oum Kulthum's powerful voice commanded flocks of thousands of eager, love-driven, Arabs, and millions who tuned in on their televisions, for hours into the night with this song; a traditional Arab sahra. (This translation is for a ten minute excerpt, as the song itself is over an hour long) Written by: Morsi Gameel Aziz, composed by Baligh Hamdi. I do not own this song; this video is for educational purposes. Citation (MLA) for background image: “Oum Kalthoum Photos (4 of 20).” Last.fm, https://www.last.fm/music/Oum+Kalthou....
