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

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

Tahira

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

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

i try to translate this song with you.. = )

Hi UMC27 , Welcome to this forums, and thank you. So you gave us the turkish-english translation to this song!

Thanks a lot !

thanks so much tahira,, i hope i'll like there.. = )

umc27, welcome and Tahira asked for the Greek version of the song where it says only the words siki siki baba. I tryied to google them to find out the language they come from, but written like that no entries came(at least back then). Ksanthiotis is gypsie so I thought they might also be rom-language. Thanks for clearing things out

Beirut does a wonderful cover of this song the video is equally amazing shot in paris.

Is the song Greek, Turkish, or Balkan? I understand there are many versions, but what is the origin?

sorry for being late =))

i know this song is not originally turkish so
şiki şiki baba
hayni hayni yaba
helik melik duni
gel fakiri yaba
ooooff
this part is not in turkish but the others are. i think the song is originally urdu. =)

Great remix version with few lyrics is the Fanfara Tirana version remixed by Nevenko Bucan. It has very few lyrics included and is one hot remix version to dance to!
