This page contains the English-language translation to the song lyrics of 'Inte Omri', an Egyptian classical song which was made popular by Oum Kalthoum in 1965. It is sometimes spelled as 'Inta Omri', 'Enta Omri', or 'Ente Omri'. Lyrics: Ahmed Shafik The full length of this song, including its instrumentals, is about 40 minutes. Over the years, different recordings of this were made during her varying concerts, so different lengths of the song may be offered by vendors. Oum Kalthoum was born in 1904 and died in 1975. She was unquestionably the most gifted singer and musician of the 20th century in the Middle East. She was continuously popular for over 50 years and her songs are still played nightly on any number of Arabic-language radio stations. Oum Kalthoum is one of four vocalists who have achieved legendary status in Egyptian music. The other three are Farid al-Atrache, Mohammed Abdel Wahab, and Abdel Halim Hafez. Her name is transliterated many different ways in the Roman alphabet, including Um Kulthum, Om Kalsoum, Umm Kulthoum, Om Kalthoum, Umm Kalsum, Oum Kalthum, Oum Kolthoum, Oum Kaltsoum, and others. |

Lyrics
Note from Shira: Two different transliterations and translations of this song have been contributed to this web site. I have decided to make both available. Song lyrics are poetry, and it can be challenging for a translator to communicate nuances of meaning. By having two translations to use, you can explore two different people's ideas on how to convey these nuances.

(Note from Lennie Clark: There is some wonderful footage of Umm Kalthoum singing this song, accompanied by Mohammed Abdel Wahab and orchestra, in the documentary 'Umm Kulthoum, a Voice Like Egypt'. That historic performance was the first joint performance of these two great artists.)
