ya salat jan
I'm sure some of you know this old egyptian song. Do you know who composed and who sang it? Do you know the lyrics? I can't find anything about it
because I tried a few different spellings in arabic and none worked.
is it:
سلت جان
سلة جان
i tried a few more but none worked...
Thanks, Yaniv.

No...has nothing to do with prayers
talks about a beautiful girl called Aziiza, describing her beauty. Meantime saying good things about her father, a way to get his blessing
Do you read arabic?
The word " ya salat el zeen" is often used in Egypt to express a wonder about a beautiful thing. When saying ya salat ezzen on Aziza means god bless
her beauty.
Sayyed makkawi continues the legacy after zakaryia ahmad and sung his songs. So you will find it sung by Sayyed makkawi too

not so well but I'm learning. i already found the lyrics here http://online.farfesh.com/music/SongLyrics.asp?songID=1506&Sing... the problem is not reading the words it's understanding them I still have much to learn, hebrew is my mother tongue so it helps alot because the
languages are so similar.
ramadan kareem.

In the link you post, Sayyed makkawi was singing in Tunisia. So he transformed ya salat ezzen on Aziiza to ya salat ezzen on Tunisia. But the original
song is for aziza. who is aziiza? not important. The important thing is the expression in a song for habits and manners of egyptian people making
living popular music. The legacy of sayyed Darwish was followed up by zakarya a7mad, sayyed makkawi and many others.
By the way, the lyrics are for Bayram el tunisi, great egyptian poete, left wing thinker.
Ramadan kariim for you too even though you and me are not muslims
