Australian/Italian singer Tina Arena has taken the bold step of singing a song for Baghdad.
Her song 'Je m'appelle Baghdad' -My Name is Baghdad- has been in the Top 10 hits list in France since the release of the single.
The song talks about the past & present of the Iraqi capitol.
The lyrics are as follows:
My name is Baghdad
I have fallen under the bombs
My name is Baghdad
I am an injured princess
I have been forgotten by Shahrazad
I live in my own land as a beggar
My stories of One Thousand & One Nights are of no importance to anyone anymore.
Tina Arena Sings 'My Name is Baghdad'
Tina shot the video clip of the sing in the city of Touzeur in the south of Tunisia.
The clip illustrates an Arabian princess who walks the destroyed halls of her castle & remembers how it was in the days of the Arabian civilization, when Baghdad was it's center.
This is quite old, i saw it about 6 months ago. but its sad song and true..i think people should wake up in u.s.a and europe and realise what is going on because everyday all we see is innocent Iraqi civilans killed for no reason and before we realise there will be no one left in Iraq!!! GET OUT OF IRAQ ENGLAND & AMERICA!! im fed up of these countries..even thou im half british im not proud of it, im proud of my arab side, Briton has made me ashamed!!.....
i think the video was set in Toezeur in Tunisia :) i went there..beautiful
i just love Tina Arena!
Her current French Single is
Oser Parler D Amour...but did not enjoy chart successes of the first two singles, Aimer Jusqua L Impossible and Je Mappelle Bagdad.
To the half-arab and half Brit...Tina is in UK now...she stars in Chicago as Roxie Hart. you should watch her. Her role would be up to May 5th hehe...
Take care.
