Solved: Marrakesh, oh Marrakesh

caty784 · 03-14-2008, 12:52 AM

Hi...I don't know if this is the best place to post this, but I do not want to begin a thread for it: Please, I am trying to find a song, and I just know a few lines of it. It goes something like this: "Marrakesh, oh Marrakesh, I lost my wife, I lost my happiness" and for the life of me, I cannot remember the name of the song, or who sings it. If someone (old enough to remember) knows what I am talking about, please let me know, because I've been going crazy for about 5 months, trying to find it! Thank you much!

Moved to correct section.

How old this song is supposed to be?

I have one with "Marrakesh" in it, but it says nothing there about losing the wife. It's from the 80's, Goombay Dance Band: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aLsKXK7lvM0

Hi,
I know a song MARRAKESH by Loreena Mc Kennit.

Unfortunetelly it is not provided on youtube. I tried to listen to the words she is singing (I have recorded the song), but I cannot understand the words clearly accoustically. But meaybe it is the requested song.

Hi, all! Thank you for your answers so much! Unfortunately, it's none of these two. I am pretty sure it has those words in it, and I am pretty sure it's either sung by a band or by a man, either way there is a dominant male voice. How old....hmmm....at leat 20 years, probably!

Lollipop, thank you for posting my request in the correct spot. I am new to this, sorry!

Hello darth vader!

I think, you have found the song for Caty.
As Caty visited us last time a month ago, then I emailed her today, that you have found her song, so hopefully she will sign in here soon, and see your answer.

Thank you for your help!

Nothing could make me happy than help music fans! Allways in their service! By

OH my god ! This song is called MUSTAFA, I think the whole world knows this one

"Cherie táime , cherie je t´adore...= I know this song by George Abdo

and in greek by GLYKERIA

and by someone else in arab "ana be habek ya mustafa"

If´s kind of an evergreen, I guess

Tahira

Tahira is right. The original song is called "Mustafa"
