"Salma Ya Salama" (Egyptian Arabic: سالمة يا سلامة) is an Egyptian song by Dalida from 1976. The track became one of the singer's biggest hits and over the years has sold 4 million units on disc. It was among the first Ethnic fusion hits in the world, recorded in five languages (Egyptian Arabic, French, German, and Italian: "Uomo di sabbia" and Spanish). The French version speaks of a man wandering in the desert and sees a mirage of a garden paradise.
