This is a very old song in Sicilian Arabic, this language today survives in Malta. Due foreign influences in Malta this language changed a lot. Also the song is a Sicilian Nasheed to Allah
Lyrics w/ translation: _qul allah ykfi a'n kul shay'_ قل الله يكفي عن كل شيء "Say that Allah Fulfills all things" _allah ykfi a'n kul shay'_ الله يكفي عن كل شيء "Allah Fulfills all things" _t'ala ila rabk_ تعالى الى ربك "Come to your Lord" _yatamknu_ يتمكن "He is able" _mutaknu_ "متمكن" "All able" _yatamknu_ يتمكن "He is able" _mutaknu_ "متمكن" "All able" Alternate lyrics (Also sound correct, but with a slight change in meaning): _qul allah ykfi a'n kul shay'_ قل الله يكفي عن كل شيء "Say that Allah Fulfills all things" _allah ykfi a'n kul shay'_ الله يكفي عن كل شيء "Allah Fulfills all things" _wa 'ala rabk_ وعلى ربك "And on your Lord" _yatawkaloon_ يتوكلون "They place their trust-" _almutawkiloon_ المتوكلون "those who are trustworthy." _yatawkaloon_ يتوكلون "They place their trust-" _almutawkiloon_ المتوكلون "those who are trustworthy." i spent a solid 20 minutes on this as it's quite hard to understand.
Respect bro, my brain always think about this song every night before to sleep so I get hard time to think about its lyrics but thanks to you, I can understand it
A quick sad but a bit funny story: When the Normans took Sicily from the Arabs, their king(probably Roger) wanted to build a church in Palermo and include Arabesque style architecture in it. And since Arabesque style almost always contains Arabic inscriptions of Qur'anic verses, that could not have been done because they wanted to build a church. So instead they resorted to sayings that are acceptable in both religions, like "Thank god" and the such. Except that one builder inscribed a very well known Islamic supplication, حسبي الله ونعم الوكيل (God is sufficient for me and He is the best advocate,) this supplication is said when you're oppressed and you wish God to send down a punishment on your oppressor. So most likely this builder was not happy about his new rulers and inscribed his wish for their demise without them realizing it.
Did you know that we in Sicily say Sabbinirica, which literally means Assalamu aleykum. We are the only people who uses this greeting in our native language
I’m Italian and my paternal grandfather was 100% Sicilian, through a DNA test I discovered I’m 17.01% Basal (a number very high compared to other Southern Europeans!), the Basals are the first and original Arab tribe (originated in Eastern Africa)! I’m very proud of that! Allah IS THE GREATEST!
For those who are liking this song, I strongly recommand to visit the city of Palermo in Sicily and see the old monuments left by the Emirate, especially the former great mosque (Cathedral).
I'm Indonesian Moslem,i very shock hear this Nasheed it suond very amazing so touch my mind.May Allah blessing you all my Brother & Sister.May some day i will come to Sicily Insyaallah.

Sicilian Arabic was a dialect, not a language, we know this because the Tabula Rogerina (which was written by al-idrisi, a Sicilian Arab), can be perfectly understood by other Arabic dialect speakers. Although the dialect most likely had significant Latin and Greek influences (we don't actually know what siculo-arabic sounds like), it shouldn't deform to the point where it becomes incomprehensible, the singer didn't pronounce any of the ع and ء, and barley pronounced the ه correctly. Without the Arabic lyrics I wouldn't have been able to understand a single word she was saying, you did a very good job on that despite not speaking Arabic.
I found your explanation to be the best one, brother. However I'm still curious if the case would be one out of three possibilities: 1. The script that you have provided is the actual lyrics, but pronounced slightly different since it's a dialect of Sicilians; 2. The script that you have provided have some differences with the actual lyrics due to its own identity that differs from Arabic; 3. The singer could simply mistaken to pronounce the lyrics or poorly translated into latin by the translator.
Respect from Algeria Coast 🇩🇿 🇩🇿 This song touched my heart 💔☝ Sicillia is a beautifull bridge between east and west, north and south, muslim world and christian world ... Just asking where are the sicillian muslims now ? ( i mean the native Sicillian muslims from the past not the modern immigrants )
Many were resettled in the settlement of Lucera, in Southern Italy, when Manfred and Frederick the Second ruled the HRE. Most likely they followed the destiny of the moriscos centuries later, which is exile, conversion, or death.

@@siceliota7656 One day inshaAllah :) I do have a serious question, though. The phrase inshaAllah (or a similar one), meaning "if God wills", entered both Spanish and Portuguese as ojala. Today it essentially means "I hope" or "maybe" today. Did a similar Arabic expression enter into Sicilian?

@@yahyazekeriyya2560 I literally didn't know that, thanks for sharing. I am an Italian Muslim convert, my mother is a Cuban Catholic, she always says "Ojala" and I never connected it to "InshaAllah"
@@sal_strazzullo You're welcome dear brother. Yeah, the J in older Spanish was pronounced like an SH (that's why Don Quijote is pronounce Quichotte in French). In fact, it's still pronounced as an SH in Portuguese. Some people suspect it may be either "wa shaAllah" or "Law shaAllah" which mean the same as "inshaAllah." I'm a convert to Islam, too, by the way. I'm actually an American but I majored in France and lived there. That made it easier for me to learn Spanish when I got back to the US. Much love!
This language is still spoken in Malta today. However Maltese/Sicilians even though being under Muslim rule still managed to stay around 80% Christian, such strong people 🇲🇹🇮🇲✝️
As an Arabic I can understand it, but the accent is kind of weird to ears. And, the spelling and translation isn't accurate enough as I see. I will re-type it in the modern standard spelling of Arabic: اللهُ يَهدي عَن كُلِّ شَيءٍ اللهُ يَهدي عَن كُلِّ شَيءٍ تَعَالَ إلَى رَبِّكَ يَتَمَكَّنُ مُتَمَكِّنٌ يَتَمَكَّنُ مُتَمَكِّنٌ اللهُ يَهدي عَن كُلِّ شَيءٍ اللهُ يَهدي عَن كُلِّ شَيءٍ تَعَالَ إلَى رَبِّكَ يَتَمَكَّنُ مُتَمَكِّنٌ يَتَمَكَّنُ مُتَمَكِّنٌ ......... تَعَالَ إلَى رَبِّكَ يَتَمَكَّنُ مُتَمَكِّنٌ يَتَمَكَّنُ تَعَالَ إلَى رَبِّكَ يَتَمَكَّنُ مُتَمَكِّنٌ يَتَمَكَّنُ مُتَمَكِّنٌ
I once watched Paul Hollywood's City Bakes and I just loved the episode about Palermo. I, at one point, thought maybe the Sicilians weren't that proud of the Arab Muslim period because, when I came across an article by an American food critic and a pastry book by a British pastry chef who both were of Italian descent, both seemed eager to deny any connection between some Sicilian desserts and food and the Arab Muslim Emirate. Like Cassata Siciliana for example. They made me think, well, all traces of those times must have been swept away, then. Until that City Bakes episode which made me search for a Cassata Siciliana recipe and the funny thing is that the author of that recipe was in fact Sicilian and kept talking of the connection between that dessert at least and the Emirate. I would love to visit.
60% of our cuisine comes from the Arabic era; Cassat, Cannoli, Granita, Arancini, Cuscus… If fact you should not trust what Italian Says, they always try to modify or erase our history. The best thing to do is trust a Sicilian who learned history and knows his identity.
@@Jonathunor i love the Arabic cusine, is simple and very delicious. About Malta they are the descendants of the Sicilian Arabs, a great proud of Sicilian culture, sadly Italy and England have split us… but i hope we will unite again one day
@@siceliota7656 I never knew that that was the case! I need to make a better effort next time when searching for Sicilian dessert and history books, which both I'm so interested in. Thank you for enlightening me. I'm even more curious now.

Beautiful! In some parts, it seems like the singer was echoing, but that could just be part of the chorus? I'm not familiar with the language at all, but I still very much enjoy the song.
@@mojo2110 the origin of what you call berbers is from the Middle East and Ancient Arabian areas, they came from there in the ancient times Same thing with Phoenicians (Canaanites)
may I know what is the source of the song? I wanna look for the arabic words as well as the arabic in the video are written backward so not very helpful sadly
i'm learning arabic, and the arabic here is written quite different to that in northern africa or the middle east. is sicilian arabic really written in a non-cursive way? or maybe, is it even arabic at all? i once even confused farsi for arabic. maybe this isn't arabic
Fun fact: Maltanese (the language they speak in Malta I don’t know the name) is very similar to Arabic! Also as a Farsi speaker the song sounds a lot like Farsi, this video feels like that image where you can’t understand what any object is you know what I mean?
I am still curious to where do you found the lyrics and how could you interpret them? I mean I am struggling to look for it on Google but cannot found any data with any keywords in English as I could. I put possible correction on the Arabic script that you added in the video and its latin script based on my best interpretation. Please correct me if I get these translations wrong: اوللاهو (الله؟) يهدي انكولى شاين تل ربـٌيكا ياتاماكينو موتيماكينو ياتاماكينو موتيماكينو Olalaho (Allāho"?") yahdee, ankolé shayén, Tala Rabbéka, Yatama kéno, Motéma kéno, Yatama kéno, Motéma(a) ké(é)no.
Salam, as i found the song i didn’t find any infos about who sang it. Thats why there is no credits. The lyrics you wrote is better than the one i found, also if you see that in the Video are mistakes with the lyrics is because my app doesn’t support the Arabic alphabet.

@@siceliota7656 It is definitely Arabic. The singer's pronunciation is what makes it sound weird. I speak Arabic, not as a native language but i understood the lyrics.
Ghol Allah u yakfi, anko le shayan Ghol Allah u yakfi, anko le shayan Va allah he fal, ya tava kelo Mote va ke loon, ya tava kelo, mote va ke loon I'm maltese and can't understand a word from this, latin languages are much closer and I understand them way easier, especially italian and sicilian, well except for Allah and everything which is kollox in modern maltese. (x is like a sh sound)
Also.. who is the singer of the song? Any name for the band? I tried to trace it to other account which has choir chant for the poem that preceeds this musicalization. However, I found no clear answers to my questions still. Please responds back to me if anyone knows the answers.

Sicilian Arabic was a dialect, not a language, we know this because the Tabula Rogerina (which was written by al-idrisi, a Sicilian Arab), can be perfectly understood by other Arabic dialect speakers.
Although the dialect most likely had significant Latin and Greek influences (we don't actually know what siculo-arabic sounds like), it shouldn't deform to the point where it becomes incomprehensible, the singer didn't pronounce any of the ع and ء, and barley pronounced the ه correctly.
Without the Arabic lyrics I wouldn't have been able to understand a single word she was saying, you did a very good job on that despite not speaking Arabic.
@@ifrunx6086 thank you 🙏🏻, about the singer i think because she don’t speak any arabic and she made a lot of mistakes in the pronunciation
I found your explanation to be the best one, brother. However I'm still curious if the case would be one out of three possibilities:
1. The script that you have provided is the actual lyrics, but pronounced slightly different since it's a dialect of Sicilians;
2. The script that you have provided have some differences with the actual lyrics due to its own identity that differs from Arabic;
3. The singer could simply mistaken to pronounce the lyrics or poorly translated into latin by the translator.

This song touched my heart 💔☝
Sicillia is a beautifull bridge between east and west, north and south, muslim world and christian world ...
Just asking where are the sicillian muslims now ? ( i mean the native Sicillian muslims from the past not the modern immigrants )
They were deported, killed, or converted to Christianity by force centuries ago ...
possibly in the balkans like albania and turkey
ردوا عن الاسلام
maybe they moved to somewhere in northern Afrika or just move somewhere in the Arabian peninsula.
Many were resettled in the settlement of Lucera, in Southern Italy, when Manfred and Frederick the Second ruled the HRE. Most likely they followed the destiny of the moriscos centuries later, which is exile, conversion, or death.
Such a strange and nice mix between arabic and medieval European sounds. Kinda reminds me of Chaos language from the Nier games
Bizarre yet kind of beautiful. Arabic with latinized prononuciation.

Is this real ? Sicily used to be an Islamic emirate during the medieval era
Yes
Yeah. Later it was then liberated by the Normans.

@@siceliota7656 One day inshaAllah :) I do have a serious question, though. The phrase inshaAllah (or a similar one), meaning "if God wills", entered both Spanish and Portuguese as ojala. Today it essentially means "I hope" or "maybe" today. Did a similar Arabic expression enter into Sicilian?
@@siceliota7656we have the internet, we can both learn from each other, let's not wait for the people in our governments to do so. People to People, soul to soul 🙏🏻
@@yahyazekeriyya2560 I literally didn't know that, thanks for sharing. I am an Italian Muslim convert, my mother is a Cuban Catholic, she always says "Ojala" and I never connected it to "InshaAllah"
@@sal_strazzullo You're welcome dear brother. Yeah, the J in older Spanish was pronounced like an SH (that's why Don Quijote is pronounce Quichotte in French). In fact, it's still pronounced as an SH in Portuguese. Some people suspect it may be either "wa shaAllah" or "Law shaAllah" which mean the same as "inshaAllah."
I'm a convert to Islam, too, by the way. I'm actually an American but I majored in France and lived there. That made it easier for me to learn Spanish when I got back to the US. Much love!
This song reminds me I am in the old time Arab fighter
This language is still spoken in Malta today. However Maltese/Sicilians even though being under Muslim rule still managed to stay around 80% Christian, such strong people 🇲🇹🇮🇲✝️
Man Sicily is amazing. One more reason to like Sicilia
As an Arabic I can understand it, but the accent is kind of weird to ears. And, the spelling and translation isn't accurate enough as I see. I will re-type it in the modern standard spelling of Arabic:

i feel blessed i came across this
I once watched Paul Hollywood's City Bakes and I just loved the episode about Palermo. I, at one point, thought maybe the Sicilians weren't that proud of the Arab Muslim period because, when I came across an article by an American food critic and a pastry book by a British pastry chef who both were of Italian descent, both seemed eager to deny any connection between some Sicilian desserts and food and the Arab Muslim Emirate. Like Cassata Siciliana for example. They made me think, well, all traces of those times must have been swept away, then. Until that City Bakes episode which made me search for a Cassata Siciliana recipe and the funny thing is that the author of that recipe was in fact Sicilian and kept talking of the connection between that dessert at least and the Emirate. I would love to visit.
60% of our cuisine comes from the Arabic era; Cassat, Cannoli, Granita, Arancini, Cuscus…
If fact you should not trust what Italian Says, they always try to modify or erase our history. The best thing to do is trust a Sicilian who learned history and knows his identity.
@@siceliota7656 The same can be said about Maltese cuisine. Would be interested to know your opinion on this and on Malta in general :)
@@Jonathunor i love the Arabic cusine, is simple and very delicious. About Malta they are the descendants of the Sicilian Arabs, a great proud of Sicilian culture, sadly Italy and England have split us… but i hope we will unite again one day

1.Arabic:
قل الله يكفيك عن كل شيء
وعلى الله فليتوكل المتوكلون
2. Transliteration:

Wa 'Ala Allah fal yatawakal al mutawakiloun
3. Translation:
Say "Allah will suffice you from everything"
And upon Allah let the reliers rely
According to what is written in Arabic and English, it is:

Beautiful! In some parts, it seems like the singer was echoing, but that could just be part of the chorus? I'm not familiar with the language at all, but I still very much enjoy the song.

Such beautiful lyrics and hymn
Lol imagine if muslims put as much effort in sicily and italy as in spain, like what if they had to got to the vatican and pope in rome?
may I know what is the source of the song? I wanna look for the arabic words as well as the arabic in the video are written backward so not very helpful sadly
It is because of the app i use to write subtitles, it doesn’t support the arabic alphabet. Thats why is backwards
When Caliphate succesfully struck europe trough south, east and west :
i'm learning arabic, and the arabic here is written quite different to that in northern africa or the middle east. is sicilian arabic really written in a non-cursive way?
or maybe, is it even arabic at all? i once even confused farsi for arabic. maybe this isn't arabic
Fun fact: Maltanese (the language they speak in Malta I don’t know the name) is very similar to Arabic!
Also as a Farsi speaker the song sounds a lot like Farsi, this video feels like that image where you can’t understand what any object is you know what I mean?
This language was spoken over 400 years ago, it doesn’t exist anymore nowdays. As i know the Maltese language is an evolution of the Sicilian Arabic
it's written in arabic but the font is broken so it's backwards and the letters are separated lol
@@abidano6517 can be, i tried my best as a non Arabic spekaing guy

I am still curious to where do you found the lyrics and how could you interpret them? I mean I am struggling to look for it on Google but cannot found any data with any keywords in English as I could. I put possible correction on the Arabic script that you added in the video and its latin script based on my best interpretation. Please correct me if I get these translations wrong:

Salam, as i found the song i didn’t find any infos about who sang it. Thats why there is no credits. The lyrics you wrote is better than the one i found, also if you see that in the Video are mistakes with the lyrics is because my app doesn’t support the Arabic alphabet.
@@siceliota7656 'alaykum ussalaam. It's okay if u don't know, brother. Maybe someday someone would drop the reference. Thank u for sharing. ^^
What is the story of this nasheed? Who wrote it and when was it?
What does the Greek script in the background says?
Fucking gold
The True Italy
This is actually a Bahai prayer called Qul Allah´u Yakfi
Sadly brother speaks the truth here. It's Baha'i's, not Muslim's.
the Arabic lyrics are unreadable, Arabic letters need to be connected.
Nice song!
This is NOT a Sicilian Arab song, it's a Baha'i hymn.
A Sicilian founded Cairo!
That is no nasheed because it contains haraam, musical instruments and a singing woman
The Golden age of Sicily until the Normans took it unfortunately
The golden age of Sicilian Muslims*, the normans gave us even more beautiful times, we were capital of Holy Roman Empire, we had a bigger Kingdom. But both Islamic and Normann era were the best
Well after some research yes they were both 🤝🏼🤝🏼
@@siceliota7656 it's sad the Sicilian muslims were killed or expelled

This is not a nasheed. There must be musical instruments used, brothers and sisters please beware!😢

Is a reconstruction based on sources, if it is not the same it is very similiar :)
