الاطلال دي من عالم تاني . الكلمات و الالحان والاداء كلها من عالم ساحر غير اللي احنا عايشين فيها . العرب زمان لما كان شاعر كان بيقول قصيدة جميلة ومتقنة كانوا بيعتقدوا ان الجن بتلقنه . ده اشبه حاجه ممكن نشبهها للاطلال
My dad never listens to music except Um Kolthoum especially this song, it’s probably the only sing he would sing with her lol. Now that I’m living abroad sometimes I listen to this song it reminds me of childhood memories when this song was played in my dad’s car. Good old times
كلنا نحمل نفس هذه الذكريات و أم كلثوم تملأ السماء بغناها العذب الجميل و الألحان التى لم ولن يأتى مثلها فى تاريخ البشرية....الموسيقى نفسها مع اوركسترا العزف الرائعة تتكلم وتحكى كلمات الاغنية بجدارة......عاشت مصر ملكة ورائدة الفنون .....عاشت مصر أم الدنيا لتعلم الاجيال والاجيال ❤🇪🇬🇪🇬🇪🇬 تحيا مصر 🎉
Yes..my father put her records on every sunday on the stereo. He left Egypt but Egypt and Um Kalsoum never left him. Every time I hear her I remember him. She was spectacular. They dont make music like this anymore. Golden age of Egyptian artists for sure!
I’m not sure if this was mentioned in the comments. This song, especially the music, is considered the crown jewel of all Arabic music. To understand the intricacies and the insane amount of work that went into making it, you would need to hear the entire song, which is longer than an hour, with a really high quality headset to understand.
مشكلتين هنا الأولى انه لا يمكن لأي لغة ترجمة الأغنيه كما هي . الثانيه ان صاحب القناه لا يملك اذن تستطيع استيعاب أم كلثوم . الأمر يختلف مع صاحب قناة Canada react الذي عبر بشكل كامل عن الأغنية
The Arabic music critics concluded that among her songs, the Rubaiyat Khayyam, composed by a Persian mathematician, philosopher, astronomer, and poet, today most famous for his Rubaiyat, a spirited and profoundly humanistic celebration of life, love, and liquor! She sang this song back in the early 1950s or towards the end of 1949s, after her long-time and permanent poet and close friend, Ahmed Rammi, selected and translated some passages from the very long original Persian text. After the Rubaiyat Khayyam comes this song, Al-Atlal. For both songs, the music director was the great Riad Mohamed El Sunbati, one of the greatest Egyptian music composers of all time, and my favorite!
اخي ياريت لو تبعث ليه اغنية الطيور لاسمهان اسمهان صوت عالمي مدهش وساحر والاغنية ايضا مميزة جدا بالنغمات والاسلوب الاوبرالي وللحن الرائع نكون شاكرين لك لو بعثتها ولو ايضا عمل حلقة علا الساحرة اسمهان ,, طبعا كلما كانت الاغنية مميزة اللحن راح توصل اكثر للغرب مثلا اغنية انا قلبي دليلي ليلي مراد رائعة ايضا ,,تحياتي ليك
This masterpiece is surely top of all human made songs. I can't believe it is composed by human. It is almost divine. No doubt there is no match. Even calling this just a "song" is kinda felt insult.
Once when she was singing the microphone was close to her and it burned out ( accidentally the microphone is not working anymore) she stepped closer to audience and completed her song 🩷🩷 I can’t frorget that day
Even poor Arab people from different countries used to save money all year round to be able to travel to Egypt to see her singing live. She had the most amazing voice of multi lires and what made her songs unique and will never see like her again is her strong voice coupled with the lyrics of the best writers and best musicians the entire Middle East has seen. She used to perform every Thursday night and the state broadcaster will air her song that lasts sometimes to 45 minutes live by radio. All shops close, people set at home next to the radio in total silence to listen to her. Streets stop activities, some cafes would be crowded with people coming to listen to her because not every family used to own its own radio.
Robk I dont know if you have noticed that besides it’s a live performance but do you see how far the mic is from her? It’s usually hanging from the the ceiling. which shows how strong her vocal ability
Not only Egyptian. All Arab Speaking People in all Arab Countries would wait her monthly recital, which was broadcasted on the national Egyptian Radio (Arab Voice).
كم انت رائع يا ابراهيم ناجي مؤلف هذه القصيدة الساحرة بصوت صاحبة الحنجرة الذهبية كوكب الشرق ام كلثوم تلحين العظيم رياض السنباطي ملحن معظم اغاني ام كلثوم الله يرحمهم جميعا
@theresahana7210 there isn't a thing called Egyptian music. There's no unique distinction to our music that makes it a separate class of the eastern or middle eastern music.
It is not just the musicians who know the tone exactly, even the audiences also know it very well. One time musician modified the rhythm on live, and the audiences noticed that, so they awarded him by warm applause.
انها قصة حب حقيقيه جمعت بين كاتبها الدكتور إبراهيم ناجي ومحب بته.. عندما كان في الجامعه ويحب زميلتها بجنون ولكنه لم يستطيع الزواج منها لعدم الامكانيات فسافر الي أوروبا وأكمل تعليمه ثم رجع الي مصر. وفي أحد الليالي دق عليه جاره باب الشقه ويطلب منه أن زوجته في حاله ولاده وهي اوشكت عليها فذهب معه ليقوم بتوليدها فإذا هي محبوبته التي تركها وسافر فأنصدم من الفاجعه وكتب لها هذه الاغنيه الجميله.. تحياتي لك لتذوققكم لفننا العربي الأصيل.. تحياتي.. ❤❤
could anyone notice how is far the mic from her!!! The sound engineers was so confused when she do a studio record, her strong voice damaged most the micophones they came with one solution to keep the mic far from her as you see.
These words are poetry.. Pure and simple..they dont write lyrics or music like this anymore. It is called the Golden Age of Arab music for a reason! No autotune. Just a real voice with real musicians and instruments!
Many times, fans demanding her to reply again,The verse she sings and she do it for them so if you see same worlds that's mean umm kulthum the she singing for her fans the legendary arabic singer
What attracts me most in Arabic music, especially that composed by El Sonbati, El Mougy, Baligh Hamdi, Mohamed Abdel Wahab and others, is my longing to hear the next musical phrase, and my imagination of how they created those melodic ideas. It is a process of exploration and a journey for me...Particularly because I have always aspired to compose music, yet I consistently struggle to discover a creative melody.
This music is called the music of the songs of the ruins, and its composer Riad Al-Sunbati took the award of the most prestigious composer in the world at that tim
What you are doing is wonderfull by introducing other culture's music the universal language of humanity. May I suggest to introduce a legendary Syrian Singer by the name of Sabbah Fakhry who just died at the age of 88. Peace❤
One of the most difficult songs to sing by Umm Kulthum. I appreciate open-minded people who live a life rich in experiences and not confined to shortcuts and narrow perceptions. Music makes us smarter.
In Arabic, the way to arrive at great music first you must have great lyrics this is the classical school of Arab singing of course oum kulthum is the best of the best and this particular song is so perfect lyrical, musical, vocal and of course the performance
❤❤❤❤ I grew up in the Middle East as a 10 year old boy at the time of this song and I loved 🥰 her songs then and I love them until now 55 years later. Thanks 🙏 for sharing bringing goosebumps viewing and hearing this iconic legend of the Arab world.
Greetings from an Egyptian-Canadian! Om Kulthum was truly a perfectionist-she only worked with the finest poets, composers, and musicians. She performed just once a week, every Thursday, and my uncle would always say that the entire country would gather around their radios to listen. My father, the youngest in his family, told me even the little kids were captivated by her voice. Such an unforgettable legacy!
I will not talk about Umm Kulthum, but I will tell the story of this poem which was written by the poet and doctor Ibrahim Naji. Ibrahim Naji had a love relationship with his Egyptian neighbor when he was 16 years old, He traveled to study medicine in England. When he returned, he found that she had married but he could not forget her love. One rainy night, a man came to him asking for help because his wife was in labor. When he went with him, he found her face covered. Perhaps these were the customs and traditions of Egyptian society at that time, perhaps as a form of the wife’s shyness and the husband’s jealousy. Her condition was serious and her breathing was intermittent, so he asked to uncover her face so she could breathe well , and he was surprised that she was his beloved, whom he had never forgotten. Dr. Ibrahim Naji stood waiting for her to be prepared for the cesarean section, and he was crying while everyone was astonished. Shortly after, she gave birth to a baby and she was fine. He moved away returned home before dawn, sat at his door and wrote this poem, Al-Atlal or The ruins. Umm Kulthum sang it thirteen years after his death, and the Arab people consider it the greatest poem ever sung.
@@theresahana7210 Perhaps they were using it in front of the doctor as a form of shyness or shame because he could see parts of her body, and this was uncommon during that Era.
Hey Ribk, to sit and absorb this incredible music is called Tarab. (music’s mystical ecstasy). Once you reach this level of music depth music becomes mystically poignant
She used to have a concert every first Thursday of each month, during which the streets of Egypt would be empty, people around the radios, before the TV, listening.
هل تعلم من كتب هذه الكلمات انه الدكتور ابراهيم ناجي ذهب الى مصر لكي يتعلم الطب وفي احدى الايام كتب هذه القصيدة انه ابن اقدم حضارة في العالم الا انه العراق الجميل
So refreshing watching a fellow Canadian enjoying the Queen of Arabic music! the Canadian "eh" took me by surprise :) In Arabic culture you get your nickname based on your eldest son or daughter. So Umm = Mother/Mom, so Umm Kulthum = Kulthum's mother/Mom. I can say without a a doubt, you're not an Arab if you have not listen to Umm Kulthum 😊 I tell you Bud there is nothing like having an extra large double double on a long drive or weekend country trip without listening to Fairuz in morning and Umm Kulthum later n the day. As you have noticed poetry is vital part in Arabic music, it's the foundation; well it used to be sadly. It have to have a meaning, story, journey, lessons ....etc. Fun fact: Songs are usually written by poets exclusively and then sang by singers/artiest. Poets decides who will they allow to sing their written songs. Another fact is from the majority of the artists from this generation such as Umm Kulthum, Fairuz, Abdul Haleem Hafez, Mohammed Abdel Wahab and the rest is that their songs are long, very long for current times because radio was the only means of entertainment literary, as you said some might not be able to listen to it for sometime or only at a coffee shop or such. TV was not a thing yet. They intentionally repeat verses so listeners hear every word and remember it. Let me know if you want need help with Arabic music. Cheers bud!
You are correct about the um/abu name after their eldest kid, however it is not the case here! She just had an epithet or compound name as her actual name, she was not a mother nor did she have kids!
Umm Kultoum is an old Arabic historical Name ,not related to the name of older son or daughter ,she did not had any children..Prophet Mohammed Peace upon him, had a daughter named Umm Kulthoum ,also Imam Ali bin Abi Talib had a daughter named Umm Kulthoum. So it a Name for female .
Many Thanks Robk for bringing me here to your channel listing again to songs I have negalagted for a long while. There are tons of Arabic songs created from the heart & soul....Kindly don't stop
you should listen to sherine some of her master-pieces are "kalam eineh" trendin world wide now "mathasbneish" it;s so sad and dramatic song "kolly melkak" a great love song
Notice the distance of the microphone from the singer...how far it is...and yet you can hear the power of her voice...without any digital modification...also there was no audio at the high level as it is today...Umm Kulthum's magnificent voice is rare these days...
The greatest singer to ever bless the world.. her voice comes once in a lifetime! I don't know if anyone mentioned it before but her performances were a full hour only singing one song.. every song begins in around 15 minutes of pure music as the build up for her
On the lack of sheet music: Umm Kulthum preferred to work this way. She was incredibly demanding about rehearsals, and demanding in general of everyone she worked with. Being part of her orchestra was a huge privilege, so the commitment expected was also very high. And as I think others have pointed out, while it's good to acknowledge her specific Egyptian ethnicity, she is loved throughout the Arabic-speaking world, and often by others whose musical cultures are related in some way (with Quranic recitation acclimating Muslim listeners to modal vocal improvisation). There is a Greek singer who covered numerous of her songs.
UMM KULTHUM IS REALLY A VERY SPECIAL PERSON, AND EGYPTIAN MUSIC IS AN EXTRATERRESTRIAL MUSIC, IT'S LIKE INCREDIBLY BEAUTIFUL AND ORIGINAL,IT TAKES US TO OTHER REALMS, TO THE REAL REALM, BECAUSE THESE SONGS SOUND LIKE MUSIC CAME FROM THE REAL WORLD.
Great song no doubts .. just like to share some facts about this live concert .. it was back in November 68 in Olympia theatre in Paris (this till today is the highest revenue in the history of that great stage ) .. a long story indeed about the concert sale events (you may want to read about it) , but what I like to share that Um Kaltoum was above 70 years at that time and was doing a fundraising tour for the military efforts after Israel occupied Sinai in the 6 days war back in 1967 .. something to know about Um Kaltoum that she had a li e concert for new song every first Thursday of each month where streets get empty from Persian gulf to the Atlantic Ocean where all Arab populations gather in small groups to listen … what a great times !
You should also know that she used to go back away from the mic when starting a strong note. That’s how strong her voice was. Also notice the small moves of her hand to tell the musicians to repeat according to the crowed’s request.
You need to listen to the musical entrance. And you need to know the story of the poem. And I advise you to listen to the song from the composer (Riyad Al-Sunbati)
Yes man those songs Arab favorite all times until now our young ladies and men live their love story with umkalthum night songs.. never die those words or that voice.. try to listen for her at night with your glass of drink .. omg it’s crazy out of this world
Hey rob greetings to canda and yourself from Australia, thanks to you for letting people know about this hidden gems, you can also try tallal maddah from Saudi Arabia, and his song TSADEG, you'd love the music, thanx
... and this was less than 20% of this epic song, her songs were pretty long and this one is ~1 hour I consider it the arabic version of Beethoven's 9th. Different works but both represent the highest point of their cultures
This is the best song ever at all the history
الاطلال دي من عالم تاني . الكلمات و الالحان والاداء كلها من عالم ساحر غير اللي احنا عايشين فيها . العرب زمان لما كان شاعر كان بيقول قصيدة جميلة ومتقنة كانوا بيعتقدوا ان الجن بتلقنه . ده اشبه حاجه ممكن نشبهها للاطلال

Oh man, I came to the comments section to write the same thing so he realise how strong voice she had, RIP Om Kalthoum

She is still top of the charts in the Middle East, 43 years after her death.
My father wrote a letter to my mother in the 80s with these lyrics during their Engagement… i still have it
But your parents finally got married.
The writer of the poem did not marry the girl he wrote the poem for her.

At 13:17 is arguably the greatest verse in all of Arabic music.
Totally agree
Absolutely 👍👍👍
Egyptian music
@theresahana7210 there isn't a thing called Egyptian music. There's no unique distinction to our music that makes it a separate class of the eastern or middle eastern music.
The greatest voice ever. If you understand Arabic, you will cry for sure.
She sings only high quality poetry written by the most famous poetes
It is not just the musicians who know the tone exactly, even the audiences also know it very well. One time musician modified the rhythm on live, and the audiences noticed that, so they awarded him by warm applause.
She only works with the best poems and the greatest composers
This song is very emotional to many middle-easterns. In away it is a metaphor about the defeat of 1967 and the fall of Palestine.
no. the song was released in 1966. a year before the 6 days war. it s just a love song. but what a song! I love it deep in my heart
@@wamaakoula5649 your dates are correct, but keep in mind it was also sung way after that as well. And became a metaphor to that.
tht s not wrong@@markkhalil5215
اقترح عليك صباح فخري قلي المليحه حفلة لاس فيغاس فنان سوري عملاق
I never managed to control my emotions and shed tears whenever I listen to this song.
What you see in the audience is the spell cast by the music & her voice.... Pure tarab
the part it was translated to free me she actually said Give me my freedom

Me too 😌😌
I mean, wow.. Her voice is enough to that concert hall without microphone👏👏👏
in fact, there is a microphone hanging from the ceiling,
The mic must be in a distance from her because up not front of her, she always destroys the mics
Hey Ribk, to sit and absorb this incredible music is called Tarab. (music’s mystical ecstasy). Once you reach this level of music depth music becomes mystically poignant
this is just half of the song, the second half elevates more and more.

Dud you ask where is the microphone ???
It's up far
The distance between Um Kulthoum and the microphone more than 3 meters
The planet of the east ❤ om kalthom ❤🇪🇬
The best song ever. Best lyrics, best music and best performance
you should listen to sherine
some of her master-pieces are "kalam eineh" trendin world wide now
"mathasbneish" it;s so sad and dramatic song
"kolly melkak" a great love song

I hope you react to the song "Agda Alqaak?" It's just a masterpiece, oh my God, especially the music at the beginning, it's really amazing. ❤
Great song no doubts .. just like to share some facts about this live concert .. it was back in November 68 in Olympia theatre in Paris (this till today is the highest revenue in the history of that great stage ) .. a long story indeed about the concert sale events (you may want to read about it) , but what I like to share that Um Kaltoum was above 70 years at that time and was doing a fundraising tour for the military efforts after Israel occupied Sinai in the 6 days war back in 1967 .. something to know about Um Kaltoum that she had a li e concert for new song every first Thursday of each month where streets get empty from Persian gulf to the Atlantic Ocean where all Arab populations gather in small groups to listen … what a great times !
By the way the best parts of the song haven’t been played in this video ))
The. Mic tied on the ceiling, 4 meters from the mouth of umm kulthum, because if she singing as singers, the mic will damage immediately
What I appreciate about her singing is that she captures the pain and joy of the words
This song or poem is one of the best songs in the history of music. It talks about a true story embodied in a poem written by Dr
Fabuleux angélique, interprétation relax..Mieux qu une séance de psy, un feu d artifice d emotion
si vous voulez une traduction ça sera un plaisir je suis à votre service
A wonderful poem by the Egyptian poet Ibrahim Nagi
You should also know that she used to go back away from the mic when starting a strong note. That’s how strong her voice was. Also notice the small moves of her hand to tell the musicians to repeat according to the crowed’s request.
I am glad you found a good version which includes the audience reactions as well.... the music is amazing and the audience also
It rumored in that era whenever come out with new concert comes with drop of gold prices and a jump on Hasheesh price 😂
I would to tell you the words in Arabic are more emotional than English
هذا لقاء مع اسطوره الغناء المصريه
Powerful lyrics
Thank you, you are a decent man because you put an Arabic translation and greetings from Egypt
Thanks Robk, I loved listening to this song with you, it's like listening to her with a friend ❤
For those who do not know, Umm Khulthum started out as a Qur’an reciter.
She is still a legend
You need to listen to the musical entrance.
And you need to know the story of the poem.
And I advise you to listen to the song from the composer (Riyad Al-Sunbati)
Listen to the song "Fat Al-Ma'ad" by Umm Kulthum Our professor
Great recommendation
You used to perform a party every month on Thursday, and friends gathered at my grandfather's and listened to Umm Kulthum on the radio.
Yes man those songs Arab favorite all times until now our young ladies and men live their love story with umkalthum night songs.. never die those words or that voice.. try to listen for her at night with your glass of drink .. omg it’s crazy out of this world
She is topstar till now
الشعر هو ما ياسر عقل المتابع العربي اكثر من الموسيقى
This is old Arabic high Arabic it’s very hard to sing it😮
Umm Kulthum, the most beautiful voice in the Arab world
The lyrics is also in formal literary Arabic (Fus-ha), which gives more depth and glory to the meanings ❤
الدحيح بيسلم عليك ياعم الحج 💚🌺
Arabic music was always live back in the days, People won’t approve a singer until they sing live
Egyptian music
Hey rob greetings to canda and yourself from Australia, thanks to you for letting people know about this hidden gems, you can also try tallal maddah from Saudi Arabia, and his song TSADEG, you'd love the music, thanx
The musicians were her band, they didn't need a note, they've rehearsed the songs and know them by heart
And hard practice
عشان منخمش الراجل
Oh God, this is the song.
om kulthum is the golden voice
She was called kawkab al shark (Middle East planet)
you can watch the video of his death. all the egyptian people followed him to the cemetery and all of them mourned his death ...
I’ll blow up your mind. She’s singing to audience without mic. As the hanging mic is just for recording.
... and this was less than 20% of this epic song, her songs were pretty long and this one is ~1 hour
I consider it the arabic version of Beethoven's 9th. Different works but both represent the highest point of their cultures
