Later on a Persian poet named Nizami Ganjavi rewrote the story naming it The Story Of Layla and Majnun. But the common pronunciation is Arabic in origin. General CommentActually this song is more than about how he was in love with Georges wifeEric changed the name to Layla because of an old arabic story which seemed to mimic the story of his love for Pattie.
In the beginning of the song he asks about her. A relationship that seems impossible. The actual song title Layla comes from 12th century classic Arabic literature.
The song Layla was written by Clapton as a love song dedicated to the woman he was in love with at the time infact Clapton himself called it an infatuation. The original story was something that struck a chord with Clapton if youll pardon the pun and the events going on in his life at that time. Like a fool I fell in love with you.
