I can't really answer the question, but there's a clip of "The Original Azize" on youtube that may give you some guidance. I love it, too

If I'm wrong, or dont remember something, plssss Aisha correct me.
Azziza was composed from Farid el Atrash for Samia Gamal (Samia is the one that dance in the video clip) (an oud musician told me so).
Farid el Atrash the famous Drouz composer that worked in Egypt, created master pieces. He appear in many films with Samia Gamal (it was common secrete that they were together for more than 20 years).
They didnt married because Farid el Atrash was a prince of Drouz and he had to marry drouz woman only.
The part of the relationship is double checked, the part of the Azziza is not, so keep it in mind.

That history between Farid and Samya is interesting though... and kinda sad.Thanks for the correction !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I knew I had that not double checked
Thanks thanks thanks
Anyway I was wondering whether the lyrics in Arabic and Turkish are similar... this song has been so popular in Turkey for so long time that the origin has been forgotten and many versions have got interesting Turkish spices (and Turkish lyrics). One quite recent version that is dear to me because of associating this song with wonderful summer on Aegean coast is by singer Atilla Tas and also Oojami´s techno-version is fun.
I quite like this version. It took me a while though to warm to it, but now I got it in my head.

I don't know if it's a favourite, but the definitive version of it, in my head, is Hossam Ramzy's. It was one of the first songs we used in my first class and probably the one I've heard most frequently, and forms a 'benchmark' against which I always compare other versions!
Loved the clip though, fascinating to see the original!
