Komşiler - Misirlou

Komşiler'den Misirlou şarkısı.

Mısır'dan gelen kadın Misirlou, hem dünyada hem de Yunanca konuşulan müzikal gerçeklikte egzotizmin en popüler örneklerinden biridir.

Μισιρλού μου η γλυκιά σου ματιά
φλόγα μ’ έχει ανάψει μες στην καρδιά
αχ! γιαχαμπίμπι αχ! γιαλελέλι
τα δυο σου χείλη στάζουνε μέλι

Αμάν Μισιρλού
τρέλα θα μ’ έρθει δεν υποφέρω πια
αχ! θα σε κλέψω μέσα απ’ την Αραπιά
αμάν Μισιρλού

Μαυρομάτα Μισιρλού μου τρελή
τη ζωή μ’ αλλάζω μ’ ένα φιλί
αχ! γιαχαμπίμπι ένα φιλάκι
απ’ το δικό σου το στοματάκι

In 1962 it was arranged by the American group Dick Dale & His Del-Tones (Deltone Records 4939) and was used on the soundtrack of the 1994 film Pulp Fiction, directed by Quentin Tarantino. Since then it has gained wide popularity and has been covered many times around the world and in a variety of musical genres (see here, here and here for examples). The remakes are mostly instrumental, but without depriving Misirlou of its exotic character. In 2005 the American band Black Eyed Peas used a sample of this performance for the recording of the commercially successful "Pump it" (A&M Records - 0602498505649), thus renewing the song's popularity.
