HenrykaWarsa [acc. by Henryk Wars’ Orch.] Syrena-Electro 1932 (Polish) NOTE: Polish foxtrot "Abdul Bey" – the "Arabian Foxtrot" was composed by the outstanding composer of many hits Fanny Gordon - author, among others, of the great international hit “Pod samovarem” [U Samovara], the Apache's java/waltz "Bal na Gnojnej" [A Ball On On the Dunghill Street] or tangos “Skrwawione Serce” [My Bleeding Heart] and "Nietoperze” [The Bats). Foxtrot "Abdul Bey" was inspired by the huge success in Poland of the first Polish film romance based on Arabic themes "The Voice of Desert" (1932) modeled on the films of Rudolf Valentino. The role of the cruel sheikh is played in this film by Eugeniusz Bodo, who was also the first performer of the foxtrot in the Warsaw revues. The song was recorded by the leading pop singers Faliszewski, Aston or Stefan Witas.    • HOT! Foxtrot Abdul Bej, 1932 - Ork. Henryk...   Here’s a rough translation of some parts of the lyrics: Abdul Bey Ali Baba's cousin, Kemal Pasha's brother-in-law ito be, Who knows Islam Who plays on a pipe Who reads from the stars And walks in the inspiration… Ref. Ajajaj, Abdul Bey He has eight donkeys four wives and a camel Aj aj aj Abdul Bej He knows the Koran, so he does not desire someone else's wife He swears every now and then On the Prophet's beard He eats the dactyl And he rocks in the clouds… Ajajaj, Abdul Bey Whenever he walks out everyone looks after him!
