Habena (Love Us) This page contains a translation into English of the lyrics to 'Hibbeinah', which is also sometimes spelled 'Habena', 'Hebbina', 'Hibbina', 'Hebbena', or 'Habbina'. This song was made popular by the movie star, vocalist, oud player, and composer, Farid Al-Atrache. In the 1940's, Egypt's thriving movie industry made Farid, a native of Syria, a major star throughout the Arabic-speaking world. Aficionados of raqs sharqi (the Egyptian name for belly dance) particularly think of Farid al-Atrache in connection with the six movies he made which co-starred Samia Gamal from 1947 through 1952. Many of his songs remain popular today, and continue to be used by many raqs sharqi performers throughout the world. Farid al-Atrache sang this in his 1975 movie Nagm fi Hayati (Star of my Life), which was his final movie before he died. This song was originally written for Georgina Rizk upon her winning Miss Universe Pageant in 1971.

The original lyrics started as 'Georgina Georgina' However, the Lebanese radio station declined to broadcast it due to a law that forbade broadcasting songs about public figures at that time. Al-Atrache then decided to change the lyrics into 'Hebbina hebbina' and release the song in the film. Also included on this page is a transliteration of the Arabic lyrics into the Roman alphabet so you can sing along if you like. Song lyrics are provided for educational purposes.

Together with his wife Kathe, Tahseen owned an import business in Lawrence, Kansas known as Cartouche. Alkoudsi's imports business was his second career. His first career was in the service of the United Nations. Born in Damascus, Syria, he came to the U.S. In economics, and worked in San Francisco.

He joined the United Nations in Yemen, and worked in Saudi Arabia. He then joined the UNESCO Regonal Office for Arab States. He visited most of the Arab States in the course of his work, responsible for introducing computer sciences into educational facilities. For a time, he was stationed in Cairo, Egypt. He retired from that work in 1995. Sadly, Tahseen died on Sunday, October 15, 2006..

To me, Tahseen was so much more than a contributor to my web site. Even though we lived far apart, I saw Tahseen and Kathe several times over the years. I always appreciated their warmth and generosity. I first 'met' Tahseen online back in 1997 on the med-dance list on the Internet, where he periodically posted messages.

I knew he was in Lawrence, Kansas, so when a business trip arose requiring me to travel to the Kansas City area, I emailed him to say I'd be in the neighborhood. He and Kathe came to Kansas City for an evening get-together at Tasso's restaurant, and they invited several local dancers to join us. I saw them on follow-up visits to Kansas City. They vended at Rakkasah for several years, and it was always a pleasure to greet them there in the anteroom off to the left of the main stage. I also enjoyed encountering them in Egypt at the Ahlan wa Sahlan festival. Tahseen will be missed by many.
