yeah, i heard that recording by Arsani Sidarous, it's amazing :o :D hymns can sound really good in english if a fair effort is put in putting up the words in the right tune
to be honest with you its really meant to be sang in arabic because it is actually a poem so srry to be like da only one in this thread but i think its better in arabic but for an english version he was very creativly and did it amazingly
i'm not so sure bout that actually. There's the coptic txt for the first 5 verses, i dont know if the arabic verses were made up first and translated in coptic, or that the first 5 verses were originally in coptic, and the rest of the many verses in arabic (there's way more arabic lines) were made up later. I heard the first verse in coptic from a tape and i must that it sounded really good. The arabic is really good too and so is the english, i think singing 3 parts, each with a different language would be cool ;D
ps if anyone is interested in listening to the coptic version of ya kool el sofouf, follow this link:
can u give me ur email address??? then i will email u a recording i have from a deacon at my church... if you do not wid to disclose your email address on the site...email it to [email protected]
