Fadel Shaker - Still On My Mind The days come and go, only to be scattered as my dreams come to an end And you're still in my heart You're still on my mind My love for you is yours and yours alone You mean more to me than myself They're still on my mind, those days when we were together My dreams, my dreams are bitter without you Oh love inside my soul I'll be wherever you go I'd see you and get a glimpse of you but my heart is wounded This heart of mine, how it warmed you It put you to sleep to its beat Don't you dare hurt it my darling Did the separation make you forget? فضل شاكر - بعدها عالبال بتروح الايام وبتيجى الايام عشان يتفرقوا وبتنتهى الاحلام وانت بقلبى بعدك بعدك على بالى حبك الك الك وحدك يا اغلى من حالى بعدا عالبال ايامى ايامى انا وياك احلامى احلامى مرة بلاك بعدا عالبال ايامى ايامى انا وياك احلامى احلامى مرة بلاك يا حب جوه الروح عم كون وين ما تروح بشوفك حبيبى وبلمحك بس القلب مجروح هالقلب شو دفاك ع دقته غفاك اوعى حبيبى تجرحه يكون البعد نساك بعدا عالبال ...

Ahmad al-Harmi - I Miss You to Death I miss you to death And you've been gone for so long My longing is has been killing me in your absence I think of you every day and I die, and you bring me back to life And I say where are you Why haven't you come to ask me how I'm doing? I miss you to death, I swear Come back to my, my life, come on My life is yours I beg you my precious love, come back You don't have anyone but me, and I don't have anyone but you I remember the days of your love, while you've forgotten me My longing grows and tears fall from my eyes The night takes me to you, and I wake up calling you I need you my darling, don't leave me People ask me how I'm doing I say "fine" but I'm not fine, my precious I'm tired my love, I won't rest til I'm close to you And I will see nothing good until I see you before me أحمد الهرمي - مشتاق لك موت مشتاق لك موت يالي طول غيابك ذبحني الشوق وانت عني موداري اذكرك كل يوم واموت واحيابك وا...

Julia Boutros - Perhapsجوليا بطرس - ربماRubbama

Image
This song is based on the poem Rubbama ربما by Samih al-Qasim سميح القاسم. "Rubbama" means "perhaps" "maybe" or "might." I have translated the title as "perhaps" but in order to make the sentence more natural in english I have translate it as "you might be able to." Julia Boutros - Perhaps You might be able to rob me of my last bit of land You might be able to feed my youth to the jail You might be able to put out my torch in the night You might be able to keep me from kissing my mother You might be able to steal my dreams You might be able to deprive my children of a suit on a holiday Oh enemy of the sun! But I will not compromise And until my heart's last beat, I will resist جوليا بطرس - ربما ربما تسلبني آخر شبر من ترابي ربما تطعم للسجن شبابي ربما تطفيء في ليلي شعلة ربما احرم من أمي قبلة ربما تغنم من ناطوري احلامي غفلة ربما تحرم اطفالي يوم العيد بدلة ربما ترفع من حولي جدارا وجدارا وجدارا .. يا عدو الشمس لكن لن اساوم والى...

Fairuz - Your Oud is Resonantفيروز - عودك رنانOudak Rannan

Image
The al-oud is the instrument commonly known as a lute (same name) in the West, a string instrument which has been replaced by the modern guitar but remains important in Arabic music. The title "3oudak rannaan" means something like "your oud is resonant," which sounds awkward in English, but what she is saying is that it sounds so good when he plays. Fairuz - Your Oud is Resonant Your oud is resonant Lemme here the sound of your oud Play it again, keep playing it Lemme here the oud Play it loud again and again Strum and keep strumming Tell me this tune is for you A true song and more beautiful than words Play a tune that enters my heart All these people have gathered around the sound of your strings That string is sensitive, quit playing on the same string (what she is saying here is that he's really hit her soft spot with what he's playing, and the underlying meaning is that she's in love with him and she's really affected by what he's playing) Y...

Majida el Roumi - Sing for Me Sing for the people, for love Sing for me, sing Sing for a heartbeat Sing for me, sing Sing for a companion on the road of life Sing for me, sing Sing for me, sing sing sing! Sing for a yearning heart waiting in torment Sing for a dream that has yet to be written on paper Sing for September and the separation Sing for me, sing, sing for me! Sing for my unrequited love (Literally, "sing for the mind preoccupied with love that is not on the mind of the one he or she loves" and she's referring to herself not being loved back by the addressee of the song) Sing for the eyes that speak words that have never been said Sing the answer to the question that always remains Sing for me, sing, sing for me! The words are running out and my heart is hurting The smiles are drowning in a sea of tears Repeat verses ماجدة الرومي - غنيلي غني للناس للحب غنيلي غني غني لدقة قلب غنيلي غني غني لرفيق الدرب غنيلي غني غنيلي غني غني غني غني غني لقلب مشتاق ناطر عنار غني ل...
