Taken from 'Jarak Qaribak', out now: [ Ссылка ]

Celebrated singer, musician and producer Dudu Tassa teams up with award-winning composer and guitarist Jonny Greenwood (Radiohead, The Smile) for new album ‘Jarak Qaribak’, bringing together vocalists and musicians from throughout the Middle East for a very special album of cross-border collaborations. “Jarak Qaribak” translates, more or less, as “Your Neighbour Is Your Friend”. It’s an expansive, inclusive sentiment. The songs on the album, and the singers, are drawn from all over the Middle East – and, in keeping with the theme established by the album’s title, each singer takes a turn at a tune from a country other than their own.

They went out to the garden, My hard headed friend, And scattered their hair.
All the girls are stars,
My hard headed friend, And she is their moon.
They went out to the garden, And dyed their hair.
She's my eye, the apple of my eye,
My hard headed friend,
She's worth more than my parents and relatives
My hard headed friend.
I'II sit lonesome at gloomy dawn
My hard headed friend,
I'll sit lonesome at gloomy dawn
My hard headed friend, And I muse over my lover
Claiming I only had a dream
My hard headed friend,
But I can cry a river if I'd like
She’s my eye…
