Billy Bragg



Does anyone know what language these Billy Bragg lyrics are in? Le-li Umma le-li-ya, bledi g'desh akh le-li-ya?

I'm writting an essay analysing this song and want to know what language these lyrics are in. Incredibly no-one seems to know!

Best I can find is this mention in an interview with Sir Billiam:

The music for the song, 'England, Half English', for example, is an old Arabic folk song, the song of the exiles . In the original song is the line "Le-li Umma le-li-ya, le-li Umma le-li-ya, Le-li Umma le-li-ya, bledi g'desh akh! le-li-ya ! (in English: 'Oh my country, what a beautiful country you are'), which we then incorporated as they testified exactly what I wanted to convey with the song.
