Lama Bada Yatathana Music Sheet
Hi all,
if you remember me, i asked a week ago about this song and thanks to all who replied.
Anyway, i came accross this music sheet for the main chorus. I played it and it sounds good.
Just wanted to share this with you guys, and if you don't know how to read (and interpret) music notes, i'll post another topic explaining
how..
A MUST LEARN FOR BEGINNERS!!!

Nahawand on G (typically speaking):
Ascending: g a b-flat c d e-flat f-sharp g
Descending: g a b-flat c d e-flat f g
So, the 7th note (the f) is sharpend sometimes
Checkout http://www.maqamworld.com It's a great reference

So the F# is like an accidental note then? "So, the 7th note (the f)
is sharpend sometimes"

It's "accidental" in that the f is sharpened. However, sometimes the word "accidental" can refer to a pitch or interval that
is outside the key. That is not true in the case of Nahawand. The sharpened f in this case is very much part of the maqam. When you go from F# to G
in this case, the f# serves as a leading tone to the g.

This is my transcription, it's been re-posted in various places.
Nahawand can be played in many keys. the most common are C, D, and G. as Sam said, Nahawand on G is G A Bb C D Eb (F) F# G. Sometimes the F# is
written into the key signature if people are using "nonstandard" key signatures. Lamma Bada is often played in C, and I'm sure many other keysas
well.
hope this helps.

Nahawand is minor, this transcription is made on G minor, the F# is the 7 th note, Normaly in Nahawand the F# becomes F when going down, and F# when
going up, like the western minor.
However in this example, the 7 th note is always F# so wen can say that there is higaz on D.
In the algerien music they have the same gamme, when playing, they play Nahawand but they go fourth down and stay a little bit in Higaz then they
return to Nahawand

Thank you Samzayed.
Lamma bada is a very old poetry in the form of muwashaha written in very classical fusha arabic which may have been put into music by the XIX century
in Egypt or in Syria in the musical form of sama'i and using nahawand mode.
Now the song is a universal hit sung by everybody.
It seems that there are lot of fifferent lyrics and even translating the meaning of a single version can present several meanings.
I just found these lyrics on the web also.
لما بدى يتثنى ... حبي جماله
فتنى
أومى بلحظه أسرنا ... بالروض
بين الظبا
---
وعدي وياحيرتي .... ناري تزيد
صبوتي
بالحب من لوعتي ... إلا مليك
الجمال
In fact, for Samir Joubran, who is a young and great palestinian oud player, "Lamma bada" is not a love song but a political song because the words
can be read as "When the hope for a new nation started or appeared...."
Thats is why he currently sings Lamma bada in his concerts, with the following words:
Lamma bada yatathanna
Lamma bada Yatathanna
Aman' Aman' Aman' Aman' Aman
Houbbi jamalouk al fatah
Aman' Aman' Aman' Aman' Aman
Aman' Aman' Aman' Aman' Aman'
Waadi wa ya Hirati
Waadi wa ya Hirati
Man li nasi shak wati
Fil houbbi min lawaati
Illa malik oul jamal
Illa malik oul jamal
Illa malik oul jamal
Aman' Aman' Aman' Aman' Aman'
Aman' Aman' Aman' Aman' Aman'
Lamma bada yatathanna
Aman' Aman' Aman' Aman' Aman'
Houbbi jamalouk al fatah
Aman' Aman' Aman' Aman' Aman'
Aman' Aman' Aman' Aman' Aman'
It changes compared with previous arabic poetry.
I think there are many questions open with this muwashaha.
Who wrote the lyrics, when, where, was the music existing before a musicien transposed it to musical writing or a modern composer directly wrote it
inspired by an old poetry??
At the same time the very mysterious origin of this song allows for different artists to freely interpretate it formally and litterally in a personal
way.
This is what makes me admire this song, not because is nice or widely interpretated everywhere, but because no artist posseses her really. On the
contrary this muwashaha will allways be the "maitresse" of their singers.

1. Translation is by Chris Vancil:
When she started to walk with a swinging gait
Her beauty amazed me
I have become prisoner of her eyes
Her stem folded as she bent
O my promise, O my perplexity
Who can answer my complaint
About love and suffering
But the beautiful one?
-----
2. The lyrics are listed in Hamza EL Din's album
_Eclipse_ as follows:
When the gossamer nymph appears,
My beloved's beauty drives me to distraction;
Surrender
Surrender
When I am enraptured by a glimpse,
My beloved's beauty is a tender branch caught by the breeze;
Surrender
Surrender
Oh my destiny, my perplexity,
No one can comfort me in my misery,
In my lamenting and suffering for love,
But for the one in the beautiful mirage;
My beloved's beauty drives me to distraction,
Surrender
Surrender
---------
3. translation is by Mimi Spencer & M. Metal
When he (she) appeared, undulating, ah! mercy!
My love's beauty charmed us.
With a look, a wink, the lover captivated us;
When the brach swayed gracefully, we were devastated.
My promise - O my puzzlement!
Who can sympathize with my complaint of love,
Except the King of beauty?
----------------

Lamma Bada Yatathanna chords
Hi there
Has anyone worked out chords which could be used to accompany this by any chance? I play clarinet and I would like to make a backing track with Band
in a Box (there is a style add-on for world music).
Cheers
Veronique

If you cannot read music you might find the "Sibelius Scorch" version played using the Sibelius notation software helpful.
go to: http://www.alsiadi.com
then go to: Music Scores
click: #30
You will have to download the Sibelius Scorch software then reboot your computer.

As you probably know, it's not strictly designed for harmony, but if you were to add chords, it would be based on G (sol) minor, C (do) minor or E
(mi) flat major and D (re)7. That should work.
