"Inch'Allah" is a famous song composed and sung by Salvatore Adamo in 1967. The lyrics were written by Adamo as a peace song[1] with the Six Days War between Israel and the Arab States.[2] Still the song was banned in virtually all Arab countries with what they perceived as pro-Israel sentiments in the song and the mentioning of Jerusalem as a Jewish city after it fell during the Arab Israeli War under Israeli control.[3]
The 45 rpm release include the following tracklist:
The song became a huge hit for Adamo in French language version staying in the French Hit Parade for 8 months. It remains his most known song alongside "Tombe la neige".
He also sang the song together with Amália Rodrigues, and in turn it became also a song in her repertoire as well in her live shows. Adamo also released many language versions of the "Inch'Allah" in English, Italian and others.
He also had a comeback with the song with Calogero in 2008 after inclusion as a duet in Adamo's album Le Bal des gens bien.
