Natacha Atlas - Oh Lauraنتاشا أطلس - يا لورYa Laure

This is a remake of the Fairuz song, and I highly recommend checking that version out for a comparison. You'll find it on the site here.

Natacha Atlas is not a native speaker of Arabic, and while this doesn't affect her songs in Egyptian too much, these old classics sung in Arabic don't sound right from her.

Natasha Atlas - Oh Laura Oh Laura Your love has tormented my heart And I had given you my love and affection Don't you recall our wonderful nights together And the pledge we made to be true to each other?

The night, the dreams and the wet shore
Longing, song, and the calm countryside
Those were such fine days, so wonderful and pure
When the breeze sang of loyalty and devotion

نتاشا أطلس - يا لور

يا لور حبك قد لوّع الفؤاد
وقد وهبتك الحب والوداد
ألا تذكري ليالي الصفا
وعهداً عهدناه على الوفا

الليل والأحلام والشاطئ النادي
والشوق والأنغام والموطن الهادي
يا طيبها أيام أحلى من الصفا
وتنشد الأمثال على الوفا
