Siki Siki Baba - what does it mean, and are there other versions (turkish or arab)

Tahira · 08-25-2007, 09:46 AM

Hi everybody,
I fell in love with the song: siki siki baba, by Giorgos Zanthiotis.

I understand all the lyrics of this song, I only need to know, what does SIKI SIKI BABA mean?
I know that this song exists also in turkish.

I would like to know, if there exists also an arabic version of this song, or is there a super-trouper/Must-Have version of this song? Preferably with as many darbukas (drums) as possible.

As I cannot download mp3 I need to know the artist so I can go "hunting" the original cd.

Thank you in advance /Efcharisto / Shukran

I think Siki Siki Baba is Turkish, if its not Turkish then its gipsy laguage (and I don't know that one). I don't know of any Arab version yet

I read somewhere that "şiki şiki baba" means "strict strict father".("Baba" means "father" in Turkish.)And the singer of original version is called Arab Sado.Not 100% sure though.

Hi Milena and Tzina,
thank you for your answers. I was guessing that BABA means father, cos it´s the same in greece and bulgarian, and later on he sings siki siki MAMA.

Thank you Tahira
