Mennel Ibtissem the voice france hijab 2018 judges with Arabic take of Leonard Cohen Hallelujah

The name is Menel Ibtissem
She is a hijab singer from French-Arab singer Mennel Ibtissem caused headlines both in France and the region after her spellbinding blind audition on February 4. It was not so much the way the 22-year-old Muslim sung Leonard’s Cohen spiritual ode Hallelujah that stunned judges, but the matter in which she delivered the 1984 song.
After her smooth English and then French take of the first verse, which showcased her quavering jazzy vocals, she transitioned into the Arabic language, with the Hallelujah refrain replaced with an equally stirring ‘Ya Ilahi', which translates to 'My God'.

Not exactly. Western Civilization goes as far back as the Romans and Greeks. The Arab Civilization didn't come around until around Muhammad's time.

funny let me tell that Summerians are the oldest civilization on earth and they are the ancetors of arab, arab people have an old civilization older than greeks, while europeans were eating raw meat and never knew city states that time

Arabic lyrics: Fi Laylaten min el layaley Lastu adrey madaraneyy Dolmeteun taghmouroney daraneyy El erdu lahet ve sama’a Wa Kalbey marafa diya’a Ve el dam’u beta yabkeyy Yaellahey.. Yaellahey Yaellahey... Btw “yaellahey” means oh my lord or oh my saviour... as the word is constructed Ya (oh) ellah/ilah/allah (god or lord) ey (My) when formed it makes “hallelujah” Also you might notice the words end with (y) or (yy) or sometimes (ey) which means (my) or owned by the speaker example “ellaheyy” (my lord)
