TAKE ME BACK TO CAIRO
Music & Lyrics by
Karim Shukry
Take me back to Cairo
Beside the river Nile
My heart belongs to Cairo, Oh Cairo
Where I have found my smile
Take me back to Cairo
Beneath the silver moon
I left my heart in Cairo, Oh Cairo
The day I heard this tune
I have been yearning to go back and see my darling
And still remember the big gardens in the sun
How can I stay away so long, my heart is burning
Please take me back I want to be near my dear one
Take me back to Cairo
I've been away so long
I must return to Cairo, Oh Cairo
Again to hear that song
There is a saying that came out from the Sahara
That if you ever taste the water of the Nile
You will return again I heard it from Samara
Although you may be far away many a mile
Take me back to Cairo
Beneath the silver moon
I left my heart in Cairo, Oh Cairo
The day I heard this tune
Eternal sunshine winter, summer any season
Go there and hear the Sphinx he's talking every night
And oriental tunes they play and for a reason
They must be celebrating someone's wedding night
Take me back to Cairo
I'm sad and never smile
I must go back to Cairo, Oh Cairo
Just once again
to see-ee-ee the Nile
Take oh take me,
Take oh take me,
Take oh take me back
To Cairo

Karim Shukry is my father, and Cairo is still dear to his heart. You may do what is necessary to make this song popular again. Karim Shukry must be remembered for the star that he was.
His name is Karim Shukry. He was a popular singer in Egypt in the early 60s. Unlike many Egyptian singers of the day, he sang in English in hopes of reaching an international audience. The song was a hit, and became a kind of anthem for Egypt, and was performed by singers and composers around the world. Karim's real name is Jean Zaloum, a film producer now living in Canada. What more information would you like to know?
Yes, Karim Shukry is my father.
I have been to Cairo many times I miss it there so much. All the things said by the USA were 100 percent lies as I stayed for 30 days each time. The people of Cairo were the most wonderful people i have met. I will be returning after Ramadan to the most wonderful place in the World. Forver and Always Cairo!
Yes, Karim Shukry is alive and well and living in Canada.
Karim Shukry is the singer who made this song famous in the 60s - more than 20 years before Eleskandarani.
Like Omar Sharif (whose real name is Michel Shalhoub) we are Christian. My father was very well known at the time, and I was told he even sang at President Hosni Mubarak's wedding. That he is not popular with the Egyptian youth is a shame. Many talented people left Egypt back in the early 60s. It was a difficult period in that country's history.
i remember this beautiful song when i was very young.. i remember i had to save my allowance for months in order to buy the 45 record it was on.. i think i still have somewhere.. those were the days when we really loved cairo !!!!
I want to thank Mr Shoukry for giving us this everlasting song which I always listen to before going to EGYPT to see family. A special song then and now
It touches me a lot to hear this melody. See the scenes of Egypt 30 years ago.. Nostalgy.. yes.. we are deteriorating
I Just can NOT believe that I've found this great song! I'v been looking for it for at least 25 years. Thank you very very much.

Thank you soooooooooooooooooo much for uploading this unique song. I've been looking for it for the last 25 years!
Just love it and it does take me back to my beloved hoe town. God bless Egypt and its people.
Adel, an Egyptian expatriate.
A master piece
Sooooooooooo good to know that Mr. Karim is alive and well. Please give him my/ our best love.
God bless,
Adel, Egyptian living in Spain
OH my god I adore this song oh Egypt is great please take me back to Cairo :))
extremly touchy song! thanks
Best regards to Mr. Karim. I first heard his hit in the 70s on Voice of America , the Arabic service; years later managed to buy the record itself in Cairo, where I still have it at my parents' house in shobra.
All the best
Absolutely wonderful
Thanks. Making the video was a labor of love.
Take me back to Cairo
I’ve been away so long
I must return to Cairo
Ohhh Cairo, again to hear that song
Rain Sunshine winter summer any season
To hear the Sphinx he's talking every night
And oriental Tuesday playing for a reason
They must be celebrating someone's wedding night
Take me back to Cairo
I am sad and never smile
I must go back to Cairo
Ohhh Cairo, just once again to see the Nile
Take me take me … Take me take me … Take me take me back
Yes, Mr. Zaloum (Karim Shukry) wishes to visit Cairo again. I will convey your greetings to him.

They must be celebrating someone's wedding night
Take me back to Cairo

Ohhh cairo just once again to see the Nile
I always thought TAKE ME BACK TO CAIRO was Al Eskandarany's song. NOw I admit Shukry's origional is far far far better. He feels every word in the lyrics and his performance is soo touching. Thanks Chad Hurley for TH-cam! It made me know a lot of things I would not have known without it. And to Zaloum I say your dad has been underrated. It is time he comes back with new a version and video of this beautiful song. What do you think?
Thanks to your dad , I like everyone else was told it belonged to other one , after all , we discover the truth , it never dies :) thanks , Take us back to that beautiful Cairo that vanished .
OMG! I've been searching for the song for like, EVER! ^_^ Thank you so much!
I sent you the lyrics. It was too long to post here. As for other songs, they will soon become available at Amazon. I will let you know.
His name is Karim Shukry.
I would love to have the lyrics as well - I have always loved this song :) Please tell your father that his music is still well-loved.
Allah! This song is just great. Nice memories.
Thank you so much, Zaloum.
Would you please tell me more about Karim Shukry?
J Zaloum God Bless you my very dear , I love you man. I really do
Sherif Mansour

Hi Name I J Zaloum
Take me back to Cairo beneath the silver moon
i left my heart in Cairo
ohhh Cairo the day i heard this tune.
يا نخلتين فى العلالى يا بلحهم داوا
يا نخلتين على نخلتين هما الاتنين طرحوا سوا
I have been yearning to go back and see my darling,
and still remember the big gardens in the sun
how can i stay away so long my heart is burning
please take me back i want to be near my dear home
TAKE ME BACK TO ALEXANDRIA ... :-)
Mr. Zaloum .. i invite you at lunch in cairo
well just wanna know the origin of your father because his real name sounds not egyptian Jean Zaloum .. and why changed the name .. Omar el sharif changed his name and became muslim in order to marry faten hamama the actress .. by the way I am christian too but your fathers name dont sound coptic .. your father seem really handsome in the song :) .. my father was about to immigrate in the 60's as well but he didnt!
