Dudu Tassa & Jonny Greenwood - Jan al-Galb Salik (feat. Noamane Chaari & Zaineb Elouati)

Taken from 'Jarak Qaribak', out now: http://worldcircuit.lnk.to/JarakQaribakID

Celebrated singer, musician and producer Dudu Tassa teams up with award-winning composer and guitarist Jonny Greenwood (Radiohead, The Smile) for new album ‘Jarak Qaribak’, bringing together vocalists and musicians from throughout the Middle East for a very special album of cross-border collaborations. “Jarak Qaribak” translates, more or less, as “Your Neighbour Is Your Friend”. It’s an expansive, inclusive sentiment. The songs on the album, and the singers, are drawn from all over the Middle East – and, in keeping with the theme established by the album’s title, each singer takes a turn at a tune from a country other than their own.

In my heart I hated you so much, no no brother,
My tormentor, you Satan's curse, Satan's curse
Oh my, what a disaster, who'd bring my lover
I have no two hearts, no no brother My tormentor, I hope you'll know of me, You took away everything, you tormentor,
What's left for me?
Oh my, what a disaster, who'd bring my lover
The moon at gloomy dawn, no no brother,
My tormentor, I sent it away
Oh star, look all around, no no brother, Oh my tormentor, are you asleep or awake
My oh my, asleep or awake.
Oh my, what a disaster, who'd bring my lover
