I’ve been re-listening to Vaya Con Dios lately. After all these years I actually just found out that it’s a Belgian band’s name and not a woman’s. And that this ecclesiastical voice belongs to the lead singer, Dani Klein.
One day last week as I was riding my bike around Venice Beach, I began humming Nah Neh Nah. Then for some reason I exchanged some of the English lyrics with Arabic ones. The trial was quite amusing, so I decided to work on it and see what would happen. A week later and with minimal equipment, the following song is the outcome.
LYRICS
I got on the phone and called the girls, said
I got on the phone and called the girls, said
قابلوني هناك والبسوا الشيرز
عشان
Ney, Nah Neh Nah
Ney, Nah Neh Nah
In my high-heeled shoes and fancy fads
نزلت ومسيت عالبوابز
ف
Ney, Nah Neh Nah
Ney, Nah Neh Nah
Ney, Nah Neh Nah
Nah Neh Nah
When I pushed the door, I saw Eleanor

Nah Neh Nah
When I pushed the door, I saw Eleanor
ينعل أبوه ده خنزؤر
Because

Sue came in, in a silk sarong
Because
Ney, Nah Neh Nah
Sue came in, in a silk sarong
وكان معاها واد خرونج

Ney, Nah Neh Nah
Ney, Nah Neh Nah

Ney, Nah Neh Nah
Curly fixed another drink
