About the song

غنّت وردة الجزائرية هذه الأغنية في التام تام سنة 1950، وسجّلتها لاسطوانات باتيه سنة 1952.

Wardah al-Jazāʼirīyah sang the song at the Tam Tam in 1950 and recorded it for Pathé in 1952.

تختلف القوائم في الملحن والشاعر معا، فلعلها تصف أغنيتين مختلفتين بهذا العنوان.The lists disagree on both composer and lyricist; they may describe two different songs with this title.

Also listed as: يا أمي إسمك دايما في فمي

  • English Wikipedia (citing obituaries) says her first Pathé-Marconi record was made in 1950 and (Libération) that her first recorded song was patriotic — not borne out by the BnF holdings, whose earliest Warda discs are PA 2835–2837 (1952).
