To me, this is a pretty banal way to describe Habib's music which combines some of the most innovative and catchy beats to ever come from a synth. Testament to the Lebanese singer's popularity is how his songs are in constant rotation on Damascus and Beirut radio stations, but there were missteps along the way. Much like one wonders what Elvis was thinking in his Vegas days, one wonders what Habib was thinking recording songs that harken a carnival or, even odder, some type of vampire shakedown. Yet much to his credit, even when his songs teeter on kitsch, redeemable loops abound and he's never uninteresting. This podcast is a sample of my favorite Azar Habib songs, between tracks that I inst...

Azar Habib - I'm Gathering My Affection I'm gathering my affection and writing you songs with the most beautiful of meanings, my life And my eyes are dreaming of two letters from this alphabet, my life (those two letters probably spell "love") On the dew drops On my voice On its echo I won't tell anyone I'm drawing your eyes (on all those things) From the sun of the morning From the darkness of the night I'm making you a bouquet to adorn your eyes (because those things could be used as makeup, that's the idea anyway) عازار حبيب - عم لملم حناني عم لملم حناني واكتب لك اغاني بأحلى المعاني يا حياتي وعم تحلم عينيي بحرفين هدية من هالابجدية يا حياتي ع حبات الندى ع صوتي عـالصدى ما رح احكي لحدا عم برسم عينيكي من شمس الصبحية من عتم العشية زارع مزهرية تتكحل عينيكي

Azar Habib - It's Hard to Sleep It's hard for me to sleep Your image is in my mind Only praying and fasting can give me patience I swear I wouldn't have loved you if not for my heart My tears over your absence lament my situation I'm in love, longing for your beauty and passion Being separated form your love is so hard my precious I never said an "ah" (in pain) before I met you Your image took me away and made forget my song عازار حبيب - عازز علي النوم عازز علي النوم طيفك على بالي غير الصلاة والصوم ما يصبر حوالي غير الصلاة والصوم ما يصبر حوالي حالف ما كنت أهواك لو ما القلب بهواك دمعي على فرقاك يبكي على حاله عازز علي النوم طيفك على بالي غير الصلاة والصوم ما يصبر حوالي غير الصلاة والصوم ما يصبر حوالي هايم أنا مشتاق للحسن والاشواق الفراق ما اصعب الفراق عن حبك يا غالي عازز علي النوم طيفك على بالي غير الصلاة والصوم ما يصبر حوالي غير الصلاة والصوم ما يصبر حوالي عمري ما قلت الآه من قبل ما القاك طيفك أخدني معاه نساني موالي عازز علي النوم طيفك على بالي غير الصلاة والصو...

So the context of the song is they are dancing around to a debke song, ie folk music, called the "dayer-dayer". This form of dance you dance in a big circle holding hands. In this case, they are distributed in a boy-girl configuration, and he finds himself surrounded by two beautiful girl, and now he has to choose, although he seems to be contemplating the idea of just taking both of them in the last verse. Azar Habib - Going round to the "dayer-dayer" We're going round to the "dayer-dayer" And there's too many pretty girls around me This brunette has beautiful eyes And the blonde is getting jealous Who should I pick? I can't decide The way the blonde moves is gonna drive me out of my mind If I'm gone for a minute she misses me no matter how long the trip Damn she's nice, she's so jealous Who should I pick? I can't decide This brunette with such dark beautiful lashes Where did this magic come from (cuz she's encanting him) I...

This hasn't been uncommon theme in the folk music of the Middle East, that is, songs about asking a doctor or in this case a pharmacist for a cure from the disease of love. Popular culture says that in Arabic, unlike other languages as it is claimed, love is a sickness. Thus, this motif has appeared many a time in Arabic poetry and song, as well as in songs of other languages such as this song performed by Turkish singer Candan Erçetin . This song was also mentioned by Syrian author Mohamed al-Maghout in his satirical play "I Will Betray My Country (سأخون وطني)" when an Arab citizen goes to a doctor complaining of various ailments, which are metaphors for political and social problems, and says the only thing he can hear out of his ear is "Saydali ya saydali," a clever reference to this song which was immensely popular at that time. As a side note, the song is also featured in al-Maghout's film starring Durayd Lahham entited "The Borders (الحدود)" ...
