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 »

Dalida Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Jetant au loin l'éveil de sa lumière
Un frisson passe sur la Terre entière
La belle chose qu'un soleil d'aurore
Mais sur mon rêve plus radieux
Un soleil règne que j'aime mieux
Sa flamme est sur ta lèvre
Et sa clarté brille en tes yeux !
La belle chose qu'un soleil en flammes,
Par les midis d'été brûlant la plaine
Des senteurs chaudes soufflent leur haleine
La belle chose qu'un soleil en flammes !
Mais sur mon rêve, plus radieux
Un soleil règne que j'aime mieux
Sa flamme est sur ta lèvre
Et sa clarté brille en tes yeux !
La belle chose qu'un soleil d'automne
Jetant l'adieu du soir aux fleurs lassées
Dans l'âme émue veillent les pensées
La belle chose qu'un soleil d'automne !
Mais sur mon rêve, plus radieux
Un soleil règne que j'aime mieux
Sa flamme est sur ta lèvre
Et sa clarté brille en tes yeux !
The lyrics to Dalida's "O Sole Mio" express the beauty and power of the sun, but also suggest that there is something even more radiant and captivating than the natural world. The verses describe different aspects of the sun, from its early morning glow to its midday heat to its autumnal farewell, and each time the singer suggests that there is an even more splendid sun reigning in their heart. This is contrasted with the fact that the sun can only shine on the external world, while the sun in the singer's heart shines on their loved one's lips and eyes.

Sen kalbimin mehtabısın güneşisin
Sen ruhumun vazgeçilmez bir eşisin
Bir şarkısın sen ömür boyu sürecek
Dudaklarımdan yıllarca düşmeyecek
Ruhum senin kalbim senin ömrüm
senin Yıllar geçse ölmeyecek bende sevgin /Bir şarkısın sen...
Uzaklara kaçıversek seninle biz Bir gün elbet göze gelir bu sevgimiz / Bir şarkısın sen ...

You are the moonlight,the sun of my heart Sen kalbimin mehtabısın güneşisin
You are an indispensable mate of my soul Sen ruhumun vazgeçilmez bir eşisin
You are a song which will continue for a lifetime Bir şarkısın sen ömür boyu sürecek
Which won't drop off from my lips for years Dudaklarımdan yıllarca düşmeyecek
My soul is yours, my heart is yours, my life is yours Ruhum senin kalbim senin ömrüm senin

What about we run away too far away Uzaklara kaçıversek seninle biz
One day for sure this our love will be affected by the evil eye Birgün elbet göze gelir bu sevgimiz
You are a song which will continue for a lifetime Bir şarkısın sen ömür boyu sürecek
Which won't drop off from my lips for years Dudaklarımdan yıllarca düşmeyecek

Dalida est probablement la plus belle voix féminine de la francophonie internationale depuis les 60 dernières années. Tu nous manque énormément, chère Dalida, car tu as laissée un vide musical, qui n'a jamais été comblé depuis ton départ imprévisible en ce mois de mai 1987. Adieu belle fleur de l'amour.
@1957angelo
Ti ricordo che Dalida è Italiana (Calabrese), oltre ad averci RUBATO la Gioconda ci volete rubare anche Jolanda Giglio'tti, vero nome di Salita. A proposito, DA VINCI (quello della Gioconda), non si chiamama Leonard ma bensì Leonardo, visto che è italiano e non francese!

Ciao vorrei sapere dove trovo la canzone di robertino cantata da lui in tedesco grazie
@ejl6340
¿Calabrese de El Cairo?
@reine1347
@Angelos 5 ***** Dalida est bel et bien italienne d'un point de vue biologique et du fait que sa langue première soit l'italien. Mais tu ne peux pas nier qu'elle a vécu 20 ans en Egypte, pays où elle a commencé sa carrière pour ensuite CHOISIR la France comme pays d'adoption. Et son répertoire est surtout français. Donc on ne vous vole pas Dalida. Elle avait choisi d'être une chanteuse française d'origine italienne, de naissance égyptienne. Un peu compliqué tout ça. Mais ce qu'il y a de plus beau, c'est que chacun la voit comme étant une part de lui et de son pays. Et Dalida et bien, elle l'avait très bien dit : j'appartiens à tout le monde.
@antoeckhart
@Reine 13 Dalida avait la nationalité italienne de la naissance à la mort. Elle n'a jamais eu de passeport égyptien. En Égypte, elle a fréquenté des écoles italiennes et a grandi dans un environnement italien. Dalida a chanté des centaines de chansons en italien et participé à de nombreuses émissions de télévision et de radio en Italie. Elle est également devenue citoyenne française en épousant un Français. Mais elle est restée ITALIENNE toute sa vie. Elle ñ'avait pas que des parents italiens. Passer à autre chose.

love, love this beautiful song and Dalida..hope she knows how much she is missed.. it is still very hard to believe that after all the enjoyment she brought into our lives she was so sad..really heartbreaking still.
