Just played this for an Alzheimer’s patient who grew up in Baghdad and she cried remembering how her father loved it. It brought a lot of emotion. I want to learn more about this magnificent singer. Thank you.
She’s the only singer to have reached a near mythical status in the arab world. Her voice is unparalleled and her ability to convey emotions and the power she has to to go from deep to high notes and all those amazing vibratos, riffs, and belting is almost impossible to find in one voice. This has made her immensely talented that the King of Egypt gave her the name ‘Star of the Orient’ and later received several titles like Egypt’s First Lady. Music reaches the deepest parts of the human mind and is always synonymous with a memory which could explain why she remembers a certain event.
Interesting fact: Mohamed El Qasabgi is one of her longtime friends and composer who always used to sit and play the oud behind her. When he died in 1966, she always performed leaving his chair unoccupied behind her. You can see the empty chair behind her in this video. 🥲
I am Chinese and lived in the Middle East for part of my life. Arabic music truly touches the soul. I need to study it, for it is a beautiful language.
The first time I listened to this, I cried instantly. And the man who let me listened to it is now my husband. May we found love in this temporary world, amin ya rabb.
I like the song & singer but that comment is just silly. It is what professional musicians do all over the world and have done so for all time. And what kind of comment is they even have cellist.
I am a singer myself and have listened to many thousands of voices from across many genres, styles and cultures. I have admired the great blues and opera singers, voices of Indians and Africans, Gypsies and throat singers, and I thought I knew what singing was. Then I heard Umm Kulthum. There is no parallel, no comparison. How can one voice carry such emotion? She can bring tears to my eyes when I don't even understand the words or the subject. Who can do this?
She is the best in the East and Bob Dylan is the best in the west But if u wanna compare Bob to Um kolthoom , Bob Dylan is so much better because he's written things that even poets stood still and shocked infront of him. !! The God of music ! Dylan is the best and last true singer !
Btw I'm an arabic person from Iraq and i can understand every word she is saying but if u compare her with Bob , it's reallly not fair cuz Bob writes like a God ! At least i know islam and i can tell u that bob is almost a prophet cuz everything in islam , u can find in dylan's words
Stuart Leslie Umm Kalthum is a universal treasure! She's a godmother for the modern Music in all eastern cultures! She is a legend but she was lucky to be at the time when Egypt was at the peak of its modern genius minds in all fields, especially Music! an extremely powerful encyclopaedic talented Arab lyrics-writers, poets and melodists greatly informed of many cultures and languages! Such as ( Ahmed Rami, Bayram Al-Tunsi, Ryad Al-Sunbati, Baligh Hamdi, Zakaria Ahmed, Sayed Mekkawi, Ahmed Sidqi, of course the greatest of all time Muhammed Abdulwahab and many other melodists and songwriters).
An elderly friend of mine (bless his soul) introduced me to Umm Kulthum. We would listen to her music while sipping black tea and talk for hours. He would come alive and reminisce. He had a thousand stories for every song. We would laugh and sometimes cry. He would often tell me how he wished I understood Arabic because he could not find the English words to make me feel the true emotion in the poetry...I still listen to Umm Kulthum and remember my friend, Mahmoud... I miss him dearly.
Umm Kulthum and Fairuz are the ones who can touch my soul with their songs ❤️ I'm from Mexico 🇲🇽 and I have been listening to Arabic music since 2009 even though I can't understand the language, I love this music so much😍 greetings from Mexico 🇲🇽✌🏼
There is a reason you like Arabic music--because Mexicans have a rich, deep soul and rich culture. I am Arab and visited Mexico once. I felt at home in your beautiful and gorgeous country. Especially the people--so wonderful and friendly. Love to Mexico from an Iraqi.
@@h.b.7104 Thank you so much for your lovely comment, we have so many things in common I guess. You will be more than welcome in Mexico 🇲🇽 ✌🏼, I love iraqi music as well, I used to dance iraqi style, much love from here and ¡Viva Iraq! 🇮🇶
I was born in Belgium but my backrgound is Moroccan, when I was young I didn't like it that my parents always played her music at home (because I didnt understand it). Now, I understand what a precious lady she was and that her voice reached million hearts. This woman is one of the most respected singers that the earth has ever know.
MuzikJunkyAES well,actually there’s a story behind that. It’s not only because of the proximity effect, actually whenever the mic was closer to her mouth, the mic stops woking because of how strong her sound was. Can believe that she broke mics like that before she were a professional singer!!!
Back then, it was a required craftsmanship for every singer or actor on stage. Artists also had to reach the audience at the back of a theater, of course... It is said, Umm Kulthum never needed any lessons to make such a volume. Even without a microphone and singing with a full orchestra. Her voice was very powerful by nature.
I miss my precious Iraqi father who listened to this nearly every Saturday morning and to the smell of his delicious cooking in the morning. His smile were like a thousand hugs rolled into one when he’d just see me. Our bond was beautiful. I knew that I was his life, and he was mine. The Devil stole my destiny, my best friend, the person who was my life and soul. You are my life I miss you so and I know that Allah swt will unite us again. Omkulthum said before my eyes saw you my life has been wasted. But in my case, after my eyes saw you...with your light it’s dawn began and ended for me at 22. The dawn of my life has ended. You still visit me in my dreams many times Dad. And sometimes I walk around in my dreams searching for you in the old places we used to live together. I can still feel your warmth and the dawn shine again but only in the dream state. And I know this is a sweet mercy from Allah swt. I learnt that the Dunya is cruel and has been designed to break your heart. I want nothing out of this Dunya anymore. I walk around in it like a stranger. I have cut the chord from it a long time ago. The only thing I look forward to is meeting my father again in the afterlife. I dream about it, I long for it. When I wake up, my face and pillow is wet from the tears I weep when I get to see you in my dreams. Love is the strongest power in the world. And nothing can break the bond between the daughter and father, not even in death. May Allah swt bless and forgive everyone who has lost someone they love, or was taken away from them. The Most High tests everyone in different ways, and I have been humbled and become closer to My Lord since all these tribulations 💕 I love you Dad. That never changes, and never will. Like late Whitney Houston said, ‘it would take an eternity to break us,’ and ‘I’ll be waiting for you after the judgement day.’ Inshallah 💐
I'm an Assyrian Iraqi and have also lost my father to cancer over 10 years ago. We always used to listen to this beautiful song as well as the instrumental version. I still remember he would sing to the instrumental version and fit the lyrics perfectly. Every time I play this beautiful song I find I do the same thing and think of my dad. They're never gone as long as they're in our mind and heart. May your father ret in peace.
I am an Iranian listener , how can i express myself about Ommekolthum ? I fly with her song , I can,t remember my eyes not sheding tears when I listen to Anta Omri , she is the best for ever , I mean for ever . Biahan
She's the only singer in the world who always kept about one yard (~ 1 meter) distance from the microphone during her performances. Yes, she was so great that at her passing, millions of people were grieving. The Arabic speaking world called her "Kaoukab el Sharq" meaning the "Orient Star". Some memories!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Her ability to produce approximately 14,000 vibrations per second with her vocal cords, her unparalleled vocal strength (no commercial microphone utilized for singing could withstand its strength, forcing her to stand at a 1- to 3-meter radius away from one wow wow she was a legend
I just played this in my music appreciation class in college. My classmates kept asking me when is it gonna end. This generation don't like complicated art. They want easy mainstream music so their undeveloped mind can digest it.
As someone who belongs to this generation who grew up in Berlin, Germany to a Kurdish family I agree !! I speak 6 languages (German, English, French, Turkish, Arabic and Kurdish) and the first 3s music isn‘t comparable to the 3 last as they want easy texts and simple melodies. In Turkey pop culture is mostly westernized, too. Those classics are not enough appreciated
What a shame! They didn't appreciate this masterpiece, I'm Mexican and I love Arab music, I can't even speak Arabic, Fairuz, Sabah and Umm are my favorites, they can touch my soul with their music❤ greetings from Mexico.
Wonderful a great lady will live in my heart my Mom had a voice like our Sweet lady She will be in my heart and Mom you can’t find any one that is incredible like Umm Koulthoum love her for ever❤️❤️❤️❤️
Hi Friend this might interest you , the egyptians invented the violin the grandfather of the violin is the rababa. No wonder that the string section is so beautiful
I am an Ethiopian. The Egyptian did not invent any thing. Ancient Egyptions invaded the Nubian land and took over every thing. All civilizations attributed to Egyptians actually belong to Nubians. That said, the Muslim scholars of Egypt are the real scholars equipped with authentic knowledge of the religion. The Islamic world needs the Muslim scholars of Al-azhar for example for learning the right interpretations.
+Abbas Abdulselam Did the Nubians also invent the pyramids? Since you say that "all civilizations (sic!) attributed to Egyptians actually belong to Nubians". I'm not saying they didn't, just don't remember Ethiopia pictured as all that civilized in Ryzsard Kapucsinski's The Emperor.
"toobalkain" it is well known that the majority of the people in Egypt are not the natives. They are late comers and some people say they came from Spain or similar "light skin" dominated nations. The natives have always been Nubians who's were forced to reside at the boarder of Egypt. There is no doubt that Nubians did build the pyramids. Who else could it be?
I was born in Alexandria, we left, pushed out, in 1959, but my love for Alexandria and Um Kalthum is ingrained inside me. I grew up with her voice and that voice followed me. A great UM, mother.
Yaşım bu sanatçı yı dinlemeye yetişmiyor. Rahmetli babam bahsederdi. O zamanların dünyaca meşhur sanatçılarından imiş. Bu konser heralde 60 lı yıllarin başları olmalı. Rabbim, Babama da Ümmü Gülsüm'e de rahmet eylesin.
Excuse me and excuse me some more. Her runs, riffs are chill-inspiring. This is a special anointing. The way she enunciates is wonderful and her intonation (and I'm a music student studying Classical music in America) her intonation is perfect. She either has perfect pitch or I dunno. To think she could put so much into her music as a CONTRALTO blows my mind. She truly is the Songbird of the East.

I just read about her in The Guardian, and decided, as a former musician and poet, to listen to her. I'm absolutely floored by the beauty of her singing and the music, and the poetry of the song.
my father tells me of how his own father would hold his old stereo to his chest, close to his heart whenever umm kulthum was playing. she is revered so dearly by so many people all over the middle east, and she means so much to all of us. her legacy will never die ❤️
Your eyes returned me to the days that had gone by They taught me to regret the past and its wounds That which I experienced before my eyes saw you What is the wasted life to me? You are my life whose morning began with your light How much of my life before you has passed and gone by My darling, how much of my life has gone My heart never experienced one bit of joy before you And had never tasted in this world anything but the flavor of injury I've now just begun to love my life I've now begun to fear for the passing of my lifetime Every joy that I longed for before you was fantasy My heart and mind meet find it in the light of your eyes Oh life of my heart, oh you who is more precious than my life Why didn't I meet your love, my darling, sooner? The sweet nights and the desire and the love For so long my heart carried them for you Taste love with me Taste love with love From the feeling of my heart whose desire extended to your feeling Give me your eyes they reflect my eyes in their world Give me your hands their touch calms my hands Oh my darling come on forget about that which has passed us Oh you who is more precious than my days Oh you who is sweeter than my dreams Take me to your longing take me Pull me away from the universe Far, far away you and I From the love that awakens our days From the desire than sleeps our nights I've reconciled time my days with you I've reconciled time with you I forgot my pains with you And I forgot with you my woes Your eyes called me to the days that have passed They taught me to regret the past and its wounds That which I experienced before my eyes saw you What is the wasted life to me?
Awais Khan in 1978 I bought her famous lp in Egypt.. Alf Leila. She is taller than the Sahara dunes.that are reflected in all the music. Also Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan is on this honor list. Love is universal.
سلام علیکم ...همانگونه که میلیونها انسان عرب زبان عاشق صدای هایده و مهستی هستند،،ما ایرانیها به خصوص مسن ترها ،شیفته صدای زیبایام کلثوم هستیم..روحش شاد we (Iranian people) love Um Kulthum voice and songs .RIP With respect and love from IRAN
I was blessed to have seen her right before she passed away. I was studying in Cairo. I had to go see the woman that my father listened to for my whole life. I'm glad I did. She was magnificent. May she rest in peace.
I miss you baba.. so much.. we used to listen to this song everyday to the point that I now memorise the lyrics . I miss you everyday. I hope you hear me playing some of your favorite songs. Thank you habibi for everything.
I am Russian and have no connection to this culture, but I absolutely adore her singing and I feel her emotions. She is truly wonderful and one of the greatest singers in the world.
One of the very very few singers to have such an impact with her voice. No wonder so many people have no idea what she's saying but are still in awe. Forever the Godmother of all middle eastern female singers.

You are right @MrFahodd...., her generation of singers had to reach the back of the audience also. ~No real P.A. sound system & some say she could even whisper on stage, for everyone to hear in the concert hall.
Mahmoud Mosaad sorry but i m Morrocan (French too... i live in France) so i m Arab and i speak and understand Arabic and i understand everything she says 😆😆😆😅😅😅😂😂😂😅🤣🤣🤣😁😁😁 you think because her parents are farmers so she is not Arab 😂😂😂🤣🤣😅😅😅 take this its for you 🌹🌷🥀💐Never mind 😝😝😜😜😋😋
This is a beautiful song !! is a poetry... I hope in my life to be able to live the experience of true love, reflected in the eyes of my lover... Umm Kulthum was a great singer. She had a beatifull and powerfull voice. “Kawkab el-Shark”
may Our Creator of All That Is, Allah SW rest her amazing Soul to Jannatul Firdaus for giving so many hearts happiness through her voice. Everytime i listen to her,tears comes out. No wonder my Mum named my sister after her he he. Mashaa Allah. I wanna do a tribute to this song. Sing it live the way She did for 2 hours...I wanna sing this...In Shaa Allah it will happen one day...spread the word people he he. Peace with you all
♥♥♥♥ I am Dutch but there is nothing better than this beautiful music. I listened since decades to Uhm Kulthum, Abdel Halim, Fairuz, Farid al Atrash etc. and can't get enough of it. It touches the soul deeply...
Her voice is otherworldly, and the music of the composer (Abdel Wahab) is timelessly masterful. A beautiful combo of the greatest vocals of Egypt and of one of the greatest composers of all time (IMO).
What a Song !! The way she renders it !! Its Phenomenol !! Ummu Koulthum is a Legend and will always be the No.1 Female Arab Singer of All Time ! No one can ever replace Her. With lots of Love from India.
و ما زالت ام كلثوم مسيطره بصوتها على جميع المقاهى المصريه و البيوت المصريه و هل يعقل ان يحبها الشباب الصغير الذى لم يعاصرها نعم نحن نعشقها و ام كلثوم تصل الى حد التقديس بالنسبه الى المصريين
Umm Kalthum gives me shivers every time I hear her voice. No one is even close to her. I did not see anyone composing the orchestra or were they hidden away from camera.
all this while, ive been listening to Sherine and Nacy Ajram's songs...never heard of Umm kulthum till one day I saw an article about her in Malaysia's newspaper... now i know why she is still the most unforgettable legend...her voice is so powerful and so magical... she is not singing but SERENADING instead...i love the lyrics of this song, so touching...will never stop listening to this...it will be my lifetime wasted..lolz..regard from malaysia...
She performed 1 cosert the last Thursday of every month . She sang two or three new songs in each consert . This went on for 40 years .The Arab world would tune in to listen to her . Her live concerts were what kept people going through what ever it was they were struggling with . She was part of their lives . In many ways she still is . After all these years not 1 entertainer can compete .My father was the one who introduced me to her music when I was 14 . He called me to the living room 'Come quick' ! When I got there he held my hand and pulled me to sit on the rug ',which is an Arab tradition, and pointed to the radio ! And I listened to UM Kalthoum singing 'Rubaiyat Alkhayam' for the first time .I had a culture shock !I had never experienced anything like it .People talk about having once in a lifetime experiences. Well ,it was nothing short of a miracle. It is a song originally written by a famous Persian Poet and then translated to Arabic and performed by UM Kalthoum . It is about a Muslim Mystic dicribing his love for GOD . I can't explain it ,but Arabic poetry combined with music and intrudced by UM Kalthoum is unparalleled . Allah Yirhamha . 🤲💗 My Allah have mercy on her soul .💗🤲
Music that hits the soul directly. This is a voice that will transport you directly to the cafes of Cairo, to the essence of Middle Eastern beauty … there is no comparison to Umm Kulthum, the fourth pyramid of Egypt ❤
Unparalleled. She was in a league of her own. Enta Omri will forever live on as a gem in egyptian culture and one of many masterpieces in her illustrious catalog.
Oum Kaltoum was one of my mum's favorite singers.. It's 10 months since she passed away. This song reminds me of her and it saddens me.. I miss her so much...
I agree. Am not Arab, but I appreciate her music and poetry. I dont understand but it touches my spirit, like a prayer. A friend played her music to me very long time ago and I enjoyed very much till today.
Just played this for an Alzheimer’s patient who grew up in Baghdad and she cried remembering how her father loved it. It brought a lot of emotion. I want to learn more about this magnificent singer. Thank you.

you woudn't beleive it. that was in 1968 and she was 70 years old. just look how far is the mic from her mouth !!

MuzikJunkyAES well,actually there’s a story behind that.
It’s not only because of the proximity effect, actually whenever the mic was closer to her mouth, the mic stops woking because of how strong her sound was.
Can believe that she broke mics like that before she were a professional singer!!!
Her voice was too strong her voice burned a mic once in Lebanon that's why they used to put mic a little far from her ❤
Back then, it was a required craftsmanship for every singer or actor on stage. Artists also had to reach the audience at the back of a theater, of course...
It is said, Umm Kulthum never needed any lessons to make such a volume. Even without a microphone and singing with a full orchestra. Her voice was very powerful by nature.

When I wake up, my face and pillow is wet from the tears I weep when I get to see you in my dreams. Love is the strongest power in the world. And nothing can break the bond between the daughter and father, not even in death. May Allah swt bless and forgive everyone who has lost someone they love, or was taken away from them. The Most High tests everyone in different ways, and I have been humbled and become closer to My Lord since all these tribulations 💕 I love you Dad. That never changes, and never will. Like late Whitney Houston said, ‘it would take an eternity to break us,’ and ‘I’ll be waiting for you after the judgement day.’ Inshallah 💐
So emotional😭😭
Death is only true thing in our life ,i have been in same experience with my dad i m sure we gonna meet them once we also reaching to the death
God bless you from a fellow Arab. Love from Christians.
I'm an Assyrian Iraqi and have also lost my father to cancer over 10 years ago. We always used to listen to this beautiful song as well as the instrumental version. I still remember he would sing to the instrumental version and fit the lyrics perfectly.
Every time I play this beautiful song I find I do the same thing and think of my dad.
They're never gone as long as they're in our mind and heart. May your father ret in peace.
خلتيني اعيط ياجزززمه 😭😭😭😭😭

I fly with her song , I can,t remember my eyes not sheding tears when I listen
to Anta Omri , she is the best for ever , I mean for ever . Biahan
آهنگهایش خیلی قشنگ هستند

She's the only singer in the world who always kept about one yard (~ 1 meter) distance from the microphone during her performances. Yes, she was so great that at her passing, millions of people were grieving. The Arabic speaking world called her "Kaoukab el Sharq" meaning the "Orient Star". Some memories!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Then,you don't know bülent ersoy turkish singer
Her ability to produce approximately 14,000 vibrations per second with her vocal cords, her unparalleled vocal strength (no commercial microphone utilized for singing could withstand its strength, forcing her to stand at a 1- to 3-meter radius away from one
wow wow she was a legend
I just played this in my music appreciation class in college. My classmates kept asking me when is it gonna end. This generation don't like complicated art. They want easy mainstream music so their undeveloped mind can digest it.
As someone who belongs to this generation who grew up in Berlin, Germany to a Kurdish family I agree !! I speak 6 languages (German, English, French, Turkish, Arabic and Kurdish) and the first 3s music isn‘t comparable to the 3 last as they want easy texts and simple melodies. In Turkey pop culture is mostly westernized, too. Those classics are not enough appreciated
What a shame! They didn't appreciate this masterpiece, I'm Mexican and I love Arab music, I can't even speak Arabic, Fairuz, Sabah and Umm are my favorites, they can touch my soul with their music❤ greetings from Mexico.
@@koolchick20 Umm Kulthum. Its one name she is not called Umm
Change your name its like nasbi
Her voice gives me chills. I have no idea what it is. You don’t even need to speak Arabic to understand to comprehend the beauty of this song 💕
Exactly !
Wonderful a great lady will live in my heart my Mom had a voice like our Sweet lady She will be in my heart and Mom you can’t find any one that is incredible like Umm Koulthoum love her for ever❤️❤️❤️❤️
Just remembering her in concert in Beyrouth in 1968 ! There were thousands of people and it was so beautiful.........
Jeanne Parmentier Do you mind sharing that experience? I truly would love to know how one experiences the presence of such amazing woman.
Safiye Sultan fr! I would also love to know her experience
Lucky you Jeannne.. my dream always is to be in one of her concert.
Her age was 70years old
You are so lucky
This music is phenomenal. The musicians use no sheet music, the rhythms, the melodies...all in sync. There is even a cellist!
Hi Friend this might interest you , the egyptians invented the violin the grandfather of the violin is the rababa. No wonder that the string section is so beautiful
I am an Ethiopian. The Egyptian did not invent any thing. Ancient Egyptions invaded the Nubian land and took over every thing. All civilizations attributed to Egyptians actually belong to Nubians. That said, the Muslim scholars of Egypt are the real scholars equipped with authentic knowledge of the religion. The Islamic world needs the Muslim scholars of Al-azhar for example for learning the right interpretations.
+Abbas Abdulselam Did the Nubians also invent the pyramids? Since you say that "all civilizations (sic!) attributed to Egyptians actually belong to Nubians". I'm not saying they didn't, just don't remember Ethiopia pictured as all that civilized in Ryzsard Kapucsinski's The Emperor.
"toobalkain" it is well known that the majority of the people in Egypt are not the natives. They are late comers
and some people say they came from Spain or similar "light skin" dominated nations. The natives have always been Nubians who's were forced to reside at the boarder of Egypt. There is no doubt that Nubians did build the pyramids. Who else could it be?
hahahhhahaahahahahahhahahahhahahahahah the funniest thing i have read in a while , cheers for that.
I was born in Alexandria, we left, pushed out, in 1959, but my love for Alexandria and Um Kalthum is ingrained inside me. I grew up with her voice and that voice followed me. A great UM, mother.
Georgiou Evangelos why pushed out? Are you jewish
No yunani Greek, but after the suez war of 1956 nationalism in Egypt was at its highest and all non Arab were pushed out. So sad
Georgiou Evangelos
Yea that revolution fd up everything
Naser is a polarizing figure. To me he ruined Egypt. He's like the Hugo Chavez of Egypt.
You are one of us pal. Egypt is your country and you're always welcome here, Georgiue.
This music filled a place in my heart I never knew it exist before
Yaşım bu sanatçı yı dinlemeye yetişmiyor. Rahmetli babam bahsederdi. O zamanların dünyaca meşhur sanatçılarından imiş. Bu konser heralde 60 lı yıllarin başları olmalı. Rabbim, Babama da Ümmü Gülsüm'e de rahmet eylesin.
Amazing. I don't know Arabic. I learn, I learn by watching and listening to her.

Excuse me and excuse me some more. Her runs, riffs are chill-inspiring. This is a special anointing. The way she enunciates is wonderful and her intonation (and I'm a music student studying Classical music in America) her intonation is perfect. She either has perfect pitch or I dunno. To think she could put so much into her music as a CONTRALTO blows my mind. She truly is the Songbird of the East.

I just read about her in The Guardian, and decided, as a former musician and poet, to listen to her.
I'm absolutely floored by the beauty of her singing and the music, and the poetry of the song.
Greetings from GREECE she is one of the 5 best singers of the world ever!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
💙
Iam arab before 5 minutes i was listening to stelios kazantzidis
Oh please.
Don't speak Arabic but do not need to understand to know this is a masterpiece piece of music written
my father tells me of how his own father would hold his old stereo to his chest, close to his heart whenever umm kulthum was playing. she is revered so dearly by so many people all over the middle east, and she means so much to all of us. her legacy will never die ❤️
Your eyes returned me to the days that had gone by
They taught me to regret the past and its wounds
That which I experienced before my eyes saw you
What is the wasted life to me?
You are my life whose morning began with your light
How much of my life before you has passed and gone by
My darling, how much of my life has gone
My heart never experienced one bit of joy before you
And had never tasted in this world anything but the flavor of injury
I've now just begun to love my life
I've now begun to fear for the passing of my lifetime
Every joy that I longed for before you was fantasy
My heart and mind meet find it in the light of your eyes
Oh life of my heart, oh you who is more precious than my life
Why didn't I meet your love, my darling, sooner?
The sweet nights and the desire and the love
For so long my heart carried them for you
Taste love with me
Taste love with love
From the feeling of my heart whose desire extended to your feeling
Give me your eyes they reflect my eyes in their world
Give me your hands their touch calms my hands
Oh my darling come on forget about that which has passed us
Oh you who is more precious than my days
Oh you who is sweeter than my dreams
Take me to your longing take me
Pull me away from the universe
Far, far away you and I
From the love that awakens our days
From the desire than sleeps our nights
I've reconciled time my days with you
I've reconciled time with you
I forgot my pains with you
And I forgot with you my woes
Your eyes called me to the days that have passed
They taught me to regret the past and its wounds
That which I experienced before my eyes saw you
What is the wasted life to me?

I was blessed to have seen her right before she passed away. I was studying in Cairo. I had to go see the woman that my father listened to for my whole life. I'm glad I did. She was magnificent. May she rest in peace.
I am Indian, saw the performance Umm Kulthum and Omar Sharif. Then wanted to check out who it was and here I am! Mindblown!
And you are much welcome @Maryorra, so the spirit of Umm Kulthum lives on forever!
I miss you baba.. so much.. we used to listen to this song everyday to the point that I now memorise the lyrics . I miss you everyday. I hope you hear me playing some of your favorite songs. Thank you habibi for everything.
I am a Morrocan Jew and this music is in my DNA that's what I grewp up on , so precious
You are Moroccan .... Just arab brother ❤️ ...
I am Russian and have no connection to this culture, but I absolutely adore her singing and I feel her emotions. She is truly wonderful and one of the greatest singers in the world.
Do you know that she was 70 years old when she was singing this song
I see from your picture that you are a belly dancer. It would be a very artistic to dance on her songs we miss the classic performances
I’m from Delaware in America and I’m rocking to this! My mom is black and she used to play this music for me growing up.
One of the very very few singers to have such an impact with her voice. No wonder so many people have no idea what she's saying but are still in awe. Forever the Godmother of all middle eastern female singers.
that's so sad , because the lyrics of her songs are better than her voice
Everyone knows that Bob Dylan names her as his favorite singer? Talk about universal!
I DONT THINK YOU KNOW WHAT YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT .
THE LADY HAS A WONDERFULL VOICE.
She is the godmother of all Arabic females singer not only Middle East
I'm from Brazil and I study bellydance and Mwashahat. I love so much listen Oum Kulthlum and Fairouz. I love classical Arabic music. Shukran.

I don't speak Arabic either. But her emotion is undeniable and universal . Thank you for the post. I am so drawn in by her passion.
Would you believe she was 66 in this song and she stands 1-2 meters away from the mic because of her powerful voice
You are right @MrFahodd...., her generation of singers had to reach the back of the audience also. ~No real P.A. sound system & some say she could even whisper on stage, for everyone to hear in the concert hall.

This is a beautiful song !! is a poetry... I hope in my life to be able to live the experience of true love, reflected in the eyes of my lover... Umm Kulthum was a great singer. She had a beatifull and powerfull voice. “Kawkab el-Shark”

My respect all singer,but please listen Safiye Ayla and Muzeyyen Senar from Türkiye.
And now they are joined by Billie Eilish.
♥♥♥♥ I am Dutch but there is nothing better than this beautiful music. I listened since decades to Uhm Kulthum, Abdel Halim, Fairuz, Farid al Atrash etc. and can't get enough of it. It touches the soul deeply...
listening to her in 2024
this is amazing ❤
The way she pronounced the word "ya hayat" at 7:10- 7:14 is DIVINE! Out of this world
Yup with No professional mic or equipment nor the recording it's one life time voice

Her voice is otherworldly, and the music of the composer (Abdel Wahab) is timelessly masterful. A beautiful combo of the greatest vocals of Egypt and of one of the greatest composers of all time (IMO).
Amazing. I must listen to more of Umm Kulthum and Middle Eastern music in general.
Thanks! I also like Googoosh, though she is Persian rather than Arab.
Thanks, I will investigate your song suggestions.
This gendre of Arabic Song called "Tarab" has despaired nowadays, nothing to do with todays commercial music
Persian, arabic, turkish, azerbaijanian, kurdish music are Middle Eastern Music. Middle Eastern Music is the best.
Listen to Asmahan and fayroz :)
What a Song !!
The way she renders it !! Its Phenomenol !!

The voice of Egypt 🇪🇬
Umm Kalthum gives me shivers every time I hear her voice. No one is even close to her. I did not see anyone composing the orchestra or were they hidden away from camera.
I've been hooked on Oum Kalthoum's music since I visited Morocco back in 1984! I think that this is my favorite of all of her songs.
all this while, ive been listening to Sherine and Nacy Ajram's songs...never heard of Umm kulthum till one day I saw an article about her in Malaysia's newspaper... now i know why she is still the most unforgettable legend...her voice is so powerful and so magical... she is not singing but SERENADING instead...i love the lyrics of this song, so touching...will never stop listening to this...it will be my lifetime wasted..lolz..regard from malaysia...

Welcome brother
This was uploaded 3.5 months before I was born in October 30 2009 now I'm listening to it so nice!
Thank you for your reply!
She performed 1 cosert the last Thursday of every month . She sang two or three new songs in each consert . This went on for 40 years .The Arab world would tune in to listen to her . Her live concerts were what kept people going through what ever it was they were struggling with .
She was part of their lives .
In many ways she still is . After all these years not 1 entertainer can compete .My father was the one who introduced me to her music when I was 14 . He called me to the living room 'Come quick' ! When I got there he held my hand and pulled me to sit on the rug ',which is an Arab tradition, and pointed to the radio ! And I listened to UM Kalthoum singing 'Rubaiyat Alkhayam' for the first time .I had a culture shock !I had never experienced anything like it .People talk about having once in a lifetime experiences. Well ,it was nothing short of a miracle. It is a song originally written by a famous Persian Poet and then translated to Arabic and performed by UM Kalthoum . It is about a Muslim Mystic dicribing his love for GOD .
I can't explain it ,but Arabic poetry combined with music and intrudced by UM Kalthoum is unparalleled .
Allah Yirhamha . 🤲💗
My Allah have mercy on her soul .💗🤲
Music that hits the soul directly. This is a voice that will transport you directly to the cafes of Cairo, to the essence of Middle Eastern beauty … there is no comparison to Umm Kulthum, the fourth pyramid of Egypt ❤
This touches me on a very deep ancient level.
I started listening her from 2021 and I don't know how many times heard this song ....the Fragrance of never gets old .....Love from Pakistan 💕❣️❤️💕

I agree. Am not Arab, but I appreciate her music and poetry. I dont understand but it touches my spirit, like a prayer. A friend played her music to me very long time ago and I enjoyed very much till today.
