You Are My Life December 1, 2005

This is a live cd of Oum Kalthoum singing her most famous (and arguably the best) song, Inta Omri, 'you are my life.' Many, and I mean many, people have covered this song (while significantly shortening it), from Zehava Ben to Sarit Hadad, but no one can match Oum Kalthoum's original passion. Her voice soars on this album, and compliments the epic music wondrously. This has always been my favorite Oum Kalthoum song, it is the epitome of her tireless efforts. 'regaaouni aainek, li ayam ili rahou, aalemouni andam, aalel madhi, we gerahou; ili shouftu, abli mat shoufak, ainaya...'

I agree fully with the last reviewer. This is among the best if not the best lyrical music ever written. It is poetry, beauty, passion and stark naked emotion. I have been listening to this since I was about 5 years old - the year that she passed away (on eight track!); back then the internet was non-existant so I didn't understand any of the lyrics. Now having read the translation I am even more emotional when I listen to this. It is no wonder that she had more people at her wake than the pope. If this becomes available again through Amazon I would highly recommend getting a copy for yourself and experiencing the legacy Oum Kalthoum has left behind for us.

I am a non-Arabic speaker and do not understand the lyrics of this album. But one thing I am certain of, no other piece has of music has touched me the way this album did. It is mesmirizing. The range of emotions that get evoked listening to Om Kathoum sing Inta Umry have to be experienced to know that they ever existed.
