Born on the 17th January 1933 in Shoubra, Cairo, Egypt, she was the child of an opera violinist, and was given singing lessons at an early age. She developed into a beautiful young lady and, in 1954, she won the Miss Egypt beauty contest and immediately left for Paris, France, to pursue a career in motion pictures.
Despite her looks, her first films were less than successful, but she began performing in music halls and cabarets, singing in French, Italian, Arabic in which she was fluent, and other languages. Using the stage name Dalida she recorded songs; her second single titled "Bambino" brought instant fame. In 1957, she appeared at the Paris Olympia as the opening act for Charles Aznavour and later the same year for Gilbert Bécaud. She would go on to record in several languages, touring the globe including sold-out performances, in late 1978, at Carnegie Hall in New York City.
During her career, Dalida recorded 500 French songs, 200 of which were translated into Italian, and 300 into other languages. She sold more than 150 million albums world-wide, winning numerous awards, and achieving more than seventy gold records. Yet, despite her fame and fortune, her personal life was difficult and filled with much drama and tragedy. In 1961 she married her mentor Lucien Morisse, but the marriage lasted only a few months, and she left him for the painter Jean Sobieski (later the father of American actress Leelee Sobieski). A few years later, her still distraught ex-husband died of a self-inflicted gunshot wound.
In 1967 her new lover, the Italian singer, Luigi Tenco also took his own life, and Dalida too attempted suicide. She was living with the flamboyant and less than reputable Richard Chanfray (referred to as the Comte de St Germain) when he took his own life in July 1983. She recovered from these tragedies and continued to perform, but by her own accounts, life had little meaning and she spent years searching for personal fulfillment, including traveling to Nepal to study the Hindu religion.
She died on the 3rd May 1987 as a result of an overdose of sleeping pills, leaving behind a suicide note that said: "Life has become unbearable ... forgive me."
2) A mononym of a young Lebanese singer living in Kuwait. She released two albums, "Tedalal" (2005) and "Eltegaina" (2008) and she filmed 3 video clips "Wadel Ma'i", "Haram" & "Eltegaina".
3) Back from the dead in Moselle (France), DALIDA is reborn, her squint is now a blindness and her voice a strident groan.
Obsessed by Krautrock band alienating repetitions, she modifies her repertoire, no more poignant songs, she's now exploring the sonic transe.
« Nobody have to steal our own death, it's a part of our life, that's why it's really important to live this moment »

Aime moi
Dalida Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Écoute ma prière, toi qui es tout pour moi
Serre-moi doucement dans tes bras
Ne me laisse pas seule
Tu n'en as pas le droit
Sans toi, je ne suis rien qu'une enfant solitaire
Rien qu'une enfant perdue oubliée sur la terre
Aime-moi, j'ai tant besoin de toi
Ne perdons pas de temps
À nous faire des promesses
Embrasse-moi, embrasse-moi
Et garde-moi tout contre toi
Aime-moi, mon amour, aime-moi
Il faut bien que l'on s'aime
Puisque on est fait pour ça
Serre-moi, serre-moi dans tes bras
Je ne veux pas savoir où tu me conduiras
Mais là tu m'apprendras
Comme il est bon de vivre
Ces instants de délire
Où le cœur se délivre
Aime-moi, mon amour, aime-moi
Et si tu n'es qu'un rêve
Ne me réveille pas
The song "Aime moi" by Dalida is a plea to a lover to love her back. It begins with the singer asking her lover to listen to her prayer since he means everything to her. She then pleads with him to hold her gently and never leave her alone. She claims that she is nothing but a lonely child who is lost and forgotten without him. She continues to beg for his love, saying that her life is pointless without him. In the second verse, she urges her lover to love her too, asserting that they are meant to love each other. She asks him to hold her tightly and take her wherever he wants, as long as they are together. She also mentions the euphoria that comes with being in love and begs him not to wake her up if he is only a dream.
The lyrics of "Aime moi" are emotive and express the desperation for love felt by the singer. She is adamant about wanting to be loved and held, and is willing to follow her lover wherever he wants to take her. The lyrics also suggest that without her lover's love, she is lost and lonely. The song's simple and repetitive chorus enhances its meaning, emphasizing the need for love.

Aime-moi, mon amour, aime-moi.
Écoute ma prière, toi qui es tout pour moi.
Serre-moi doucement dans tes bras.
Ne me laisse pas seule—tu n'en as pas le droit.
Sans toi je ne suis rien qu'une enfant solitaire—
rien qu'une enfant perdue oubliée sur la terre.
Aime-moi, j'ai tant besoin de toi.
Ma vie est inutile si tu ne m'aimes pas.
Ne perdons pas de temps à nous faire des promesses.
Embrasse-moi, embrasse-moi, et garde-moi tout contre toi.
Aime-moi, mon amour, aime-moi.
Il faut bien que l'on s'aime puisque on est fait pour ça.
Serre-moi, serre-moi dans tes bras.
Je ne veux pas savoir où tu me conduiras—
mais là tu m'apprendras comme il est bon de vivre
ces instants de délire où le coeur se délivre.
Aime-moi, mon amour, aime-moi—
et si tu n'es qu'un rêve, ne me réveille pas.
