Joseph Saqr - It's a Bad Situation It's a bad situation Layla Looks like the engagement's off You're rich, Layla and we're broke You're in a valley, and we're in another valley And every moment we're more apart The floor of our house doesn't even have a carpet And you're used to walking on feathers (ie something really fancy) They confused you, they messed with your head They kept at it until they changed you They put a royal crown on your head And you forget those who wear the Fezzes (the people who wear Fezzes or the Tarboush in Lebanon and Syria are the people who live a rural life in the mountains, ie not rich) Oh I remember when we used to go to see you and you used to come see us It seems that it's hard for he who has lived in happiness beside you to go back to living by himself جوزيف صقر وزياد رحباني - الحالة تعبانة الحالة تعبانة يا ليلى خطبة ما فيش انت غنية يا ليلى ونحنا دراويش انت بوادي ونحنا بوادي وكل لحظة بعدنا زيادة الارض اللي عند...

Living by herself and comfortable Seriously, soooo comfortable without you She has killer eyes, it makes no difference if you care about her She said to you "melt me with your love" and you melted and she didn't It's not the first time, before that it's happened 100 times They can't figure out what you're thinking, nor do they know what will cure you Yo...

This song is taken from one of the plays of Ziad Rahbani entitled "Nazl El Surour" or "Happy Inn" and is performed by Joseph Saqr. This song is hugely famous in Lebanon and Syria and was later performed by Fairuz. For that version click here. Tannourine is where the cedar tree reserve is found in Lebanon, one of the few places where you can still find old Lebanese cedars growing. Joseph Saqr - The Bus Upon the rumble of the bus that was carrying us from the village of Hamlaya to the village of Tannourine I remembered you, oh Aaliyah, and I remember your eyes God damn your eyes are so pretty Aaliyah We were riding the bus in this heat and dying of exhaustion One guy's eating lettuce, another guy's eating figs And there's another guy with his wife Wow, his wife is so ugly Lucky them, their minds are completely empty, the Tannourine passengers They don't know your eyes, Aaliyah They're so beautiful We were riding the bus, riding without paying Some...
