al-iskandariyah

by fabrice - last update: Jan 31, 2007

alexandria is very different from the pharaonic egypt;you will feel that it is a greco-roman city;a long time ago,it was a very open city(like aleppo in syria)where italians,greeks and all kind of people used to live together.

The french-greco singer georges moustaki was born in alexandria and sings(for those who understand french):

je vous chante ma nostalgie
ne riez pas si je rougis
mes souvenirs n'ont pas vieilli
j'ai toujours le mal du pays

voilà bientôt 25 années
que je suis loin d'où je suis né
le parfum,les jardins,les cris
de la cité d'alexandrie

le soleil inondait les rues
où mon enfance a disparu
