Asmahan - O Birdsأسمهان - يا طيورYa Toyour

Part two of Dakhelt fi Marra Genina (دخلت في مرة جنينة) composed by Farid al Atrache for his sister Asmahan. To read more about Asmahan, see her bio here Asmahan - O Birds O birds Sing of my love and chant my passion and hopes To the one who is right beside me not paying attention to what's happening to me (i.e. in her love) I complain to him and he smiles and makes me grow fonder of him O birds Describe him my state of sleeplessness and sobbing (literally tears) The birds sang the sweetest words from the treetops The branches swayed from the felicity of their melodies And my heart was infatuated And the breeze blew gently carrying their beautiful sound As the flowers emanated the fragrance of longing And the brook sang along with them The air filled with tenderness sending away my longing and disgrace Oh how I hope his affection and love and favor will be mine He's happy with his handsomeness and youth, devoid of sorrows If he was in love, sleepless, feeling what I feel He wo...

Updated media and translation To read more about Asmahan, see her bio here Asmahan - Come My Darling My darling come follow me Look what's happened to me In your absence I'm sleepless and obligated to confide in your specter Who could equal you? I'm holding in my passion, and my passion is consuming me And I have no father or mother or uncle to complain to about the torment of your love My soul, heart, body, mind and beauty are in the palm of your hand I don't know what do you with you teasing me and rejecting me Why should I hide my passion when it is consuming me? I'll complain, cry and speak, and perhaps, my dear, your heart will soften I send letters and write responses complaining to you, dnd it hurts I've been silent, patient and satisfied with this state from the start I'm holding in my passion, and my passion is consuming me And I'd give you my life and soul for you, my family, everything I own And you don't ask أسمهان - يا حبيبي تعال يا حب...

Asmahan - Nights of Merrimentأسمهان - ليالي الأنسLayali El Ons

Image
Asmahan's brother Farid al-Atrache participated in the composition of this piece. A love song set in Vienna, which is envisioned as paradise, something hard to imagine given that the song was recorded in 1944, the same year that the Allies reached Vienna and began bombing at the end of World War II. Cairo isn't paradise, but it's not that bad, is it? To read more about Asmahan, see her bio here Asmahan - Nights of Merriment Nights of merriment in Vienna Her breeze is from the airs of paradise A melody so fair ringing in the air Upon hearing it the birds weep and sing along And amidst the clinking of glasses and the ring of the melody You sway in time like branches in the breeze Achieve happiness for your soul Let your heart rejoice Your loved ones are all around you It is nothing short of paradise Enjoy your youth here in Vienna For Vienna is a garden of Eden A moment of bliss If you can have it, you forget the whole universe in it What will remain of this happiness other t...
