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 »

Soleil
Dalida Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Le soleil est un peu mon frère
J'avoue que j'en suis assez fière
Et je le dis souvent au vent
Je suis née au soleil levant
Nous sommes sortis de la mer
Avec le goût de la lumière
Aux aventures de ce monde
Tu acceptes de vivre à l'ombre
Pourvu que tu vives longtemps
Toi le passant indiffèrent
N'essaie pas de prendre mon cœur
L'indifférence me fait peur
Je mourrais au soleil couchant
Quand il s'en ira de la route
Laissant derrière lui le doute
Même s'il est en noir et blanc
Je mourrais au soleil couchant
Je me coucherais avec lui
Dans le lit profond de la nuit
The song Soleil by Dalida is a poetic ode to the sun and the connection between her and the rising and setting of the sun. She proudly proclaims that she was born under the sun in the East and considers it her brother, something she cherishes and often talks about to the wind. She talks about how all of us, as humans, were born from the sea, with a hunger for light that the sun provides.
However, she acknowledges that not everyone is drawn to the sun and the light it brings. She addresses the passerby who is indifferent to the wonders and adventures of the world, someone who is content to live in the shadows as long as they live long. She tells this person not to bother taking her heart, as indifference terrifies her.
The song also expresses Dalida's desire to die at sunset, with the sun itself. She speaks of the sun's departure from the road of life, leaving behind doubt but still providing the light even in the darkness of the night. She explains that she would love to lie down with the sun in the deep bed of the night if she could choose her death. The song Soleil is an evocative and emotive dedication to the sun, the giver of light and warmth.

Tu te couches à Rio
Tu t'lèves à Macao
Tu passes tout l'éte pieds nus sur les plages
L'hiver dans les nuages
Je suis la seule à partager tes secrets
Nuit et jour
Depuis le temps qu'on se connait
Que tu me fais l'amour
Soleil, soleil
Je suis né(e) dans tes bras
Soleil, soleil,
Soleil ne m'oublie pas
Quand tu t'en vas, rêver sous les tropiques
Je me sens seule(e),
J'ai plus qu'des soleils éléctriques
Soleil, soleil
J'irais où tu iras
Fais-moi soleil
Tout ce que tu voudras
Des plages d'or
Au coeur des favellas
Le monde chante
Des que tu es là là là là là là là là là là là là là là
Des que je t'aperçois
Je m'approche de toi
Je me déshabille sur le sable chaud
Tu me frôles la peau
V Je me fais tendrement câline ou féline
Sous tes doigts
Mais dés que tu t'éloignes un peu
Je t'en veux et j'ai froid
Soleil, soleil
Je suis né(e) dans tes bras
Soleil, soleil,
Soleil ne m'oublie pas
Quand tu t'en vas, rêver sous les tropiques
Je me sens seule(e),
J'ai plus qu'des soleils éléctriques
Soleil, soleil
J'irais où tu iras
Fais-moi soleil
Tout ce que tu voudras
Des plages d'or
Au coeur des favellas

Des que tu es là là là là là là là là là là là là là là
Tu te couches à Rio
Tu t'lèves à Macao
Tu passes tout l'éte pieds nus sur les plages
L'hiver dans les nuages
Tu frappes alors à mes volets
Pour entrer te faire pardonner
Un jean et quelques bermudas
Me voilà en été
Soleil, Soleil
Soleil, soleil
Je suis né(e) dans tes bras
Soleil, soleil,
Soleil ne m'oublie pas
Quand tu t'en vas, rêver sous les tropiques
Je me sens seule(e),

Да ли да был мужчиной. Несчастный человек, раб комитета т р е х с о т. Люди любят музыку, и са та нис ты- современные колдуны, этим умело пользуются вот уже более ста лет. В текст вкладывается нужный смысл- и вуаля- семьи и государства разваливаются без особых усилий. Певцы и актёры в 20-21 веках- мощное п с и хо тронное оружие массового поражения. Можно внедрять: секс распущенность, вседозволенность, ненависть к браку, к семейным узам, ненависть к женщине, к детям, к мужчине... Мэрилин Монро, Джуди гарленд, Лайза Минелли , Майкл Джексон (пе до фил), Бритни Спирс, бейонс и все остальные- это не просто музыка.
