A scream

noreply@blogger.com (RADIANT GUY) — Sat, 16 May 2009 21:24:00 +0000

What a beautiful touching song of hope and pain, I think every human being no matter where he or she from can relate to that song.

By now you'll notice that I rarely listen or like songs by male singers...And I do have a point of view about that which is thinking that female singers can deliver emotions in a song better than a male singer.

The performer of this song is an exception, probably he is the only male singer who makes me "see" the pain in his performance.

I had a hard time trying to translate this song because I didn't want to lose the powerful meanings in each phrase since Arabic poetry's point of strength (in my opinion) is figure speeches.

My very favorite parts of the songs is the second and third.

Album: Wahishni Jeddan (واحشني جداً) Missing you alot
Year of production: 2009

Composed and Arranged by: Mohammad Allam - محمد علام
Translated by: RADIANT GUY (ME)

Everything in the universe is heading to an end...
Except good words will remain the way echo does...
Only if you understand the meaning of good words

What do I have so you envy me?
Expect agony which was caused by you in the first place!
Don't let my silence fool you...
I am hiding a scream which will frightens a volcano!
Don't let my smiles fool you...
Sometimes I smile as a result of sadness!

I wanted to cry loudly...
I wanted to run and surpass everything including the wind...
No...I don't care if I tripped and fall down...
All what I care about to run away of my sadness...
I know the road will be hard to pass, but I will walk it all the way till the end

A word is a star lit with wisdom...
If you imprisoned it, it will survive...

If you imprisoned it in the middle of darkness, it will survive
The word tought us to be masters in the universe
The word changed many people as long as it was full with emotions
The word builds, but doesn't pull down
It heels, doesn't wound
The word raised the morning...
It lit human beings path to goodness

I have plenty of words which no one heard...
I have plenty of screams which no one felt...
And the best cure for my agony to remain silent!

Hey road of patience, "travel" (figure speech for being a lone) is taking so long...
We've lost many golden years of our lives while we don't notice it

كل اللي في الدنيا مصيره للفنا...

إلا الكلام الطيب يبقى صداه

لو تفهموا معنى الكلام الطيب

اش اللي عندي تحسدوني عليه؟

غير التعب و انتم سبب تعبي اللي عايش بيه!

ما يغركمش سكاتي...

في داخلي صرخة تفزع البركان!
بركــــــــان!
بركـــــــــــــان!

لا تغركم بسماتي...

ساعات نتبسم من الأحزان!

حبيت نبكي نصيح...

حبين نجري نفوت حتى الريح...

لا لا لا لا ما يهمنيش نطيح

اللي يهمني نهرب من الأحزان

نعرف طريقي مليح من بمصاعبو نمشيه مهما كان

الكلمة نجمة منورة بالحكمة...

لو تسجنوها تعيش الكلمة...

لو تسجنوها وسط الظلمة تعيش...

لو تسجنوها الكلمة

و الكلمة ياما علمتنا نكون...

أسياد في هالكون

و الكلمة ياما غيرت الناس ما دام فيها إحساس

الكلمة تبني و ما تهدم

تشفى و ما تألم

الكلمة طلعت صباح...

نور طريق الخير للإنسان

زايد كلامي اللي ما سمعوش...

زايد صراخي اللي ما حسوش...

و أحسن دوا لمواجعي الكتمان

يا طريق الصبر طال السفر طول على الصابرين

من سنين العمر ياما ضيعنا و إحنا مش حاسين

Don't talk about me behind my back

That song was released in 2007, it's not the main song in the album yet it was my favorite song in that album.

In late 2008 she released the music video of that song, I didn't expect it from her because usually when I like a song of a certain singer he/she never make a music video of that specific song.

I totally loved the music video, I think it's the best music video in 2008...That would include Latifa's music videos too!

Just watch it below, very dreamy, very well choses colors...It made me wish to be there.

I want us to be separated in everything
So if we met suddenly...I won't be holding a grudge
I wish you don't talk about me...Don't wound me during my abcense
Please send me back my picture...Just like the way I sent yours

If someone asked you what was wrong...Just say this was our destiny
But don't wound me...By saying harsh and weird things about me
If they talked about you...I will prevent them
Because no matter what you do...Once upon a time I used to be your beloved one

أنا عايزة البعد بينا...يبقى في كل حاجة
علشان لو تقابلنا...ما يكونش في قلبي حاجة
و ياريت ما تجيبش سيرتي...و ما تجرحنيش في غيبتي
و زي ما خذت صورتك...يا ريت تبعتلي صورتي

لو سألك حد عني...قول مالناش نصيب
لكن بلاش تجرحني...بكلام صعب و و غريب
و انا لو جابوا سيرتك...ما تخافش ح أرد غيبتك
انا برضه مهما تعمل...كان إسمي فيوم حبيبتك

I will take care of my self

Appearntly I have a thing of sad oriental songs :D
This is a song by Fadhl who is well known with melancholic songs, I never loved a song by him as much as I loved this one.

I have nothing else to say except read the lyrics and you'll know what I am talking about.

I will take care of my self...And will try not to see you
I am afraid if I met you again...I will surrender
Why whenever I see you...I forget everything instantly and return to you
I have to come over my weakness...I shouldn't listen to you
In the name of what we have...I meant what we used to have
Whenever you see me...Don't talk to me, just walk away
Every time I say that I want to forget you...I find out that I am still in love with you
So I can walk away...I will just leave without telling you
I used to live only because of you...No matter what happened I always loved you
After what you've done to me...I won't stay with you
Despite my agony while you're away...It will be greater while I am close to you
If I said that I totally forgot you...I'll be trying to lie!

هخلي بالي من نفسي...و أحاول ما أشوفكش
خايف أقابلك تاني...قدامك ما أقدرش...
أنا ليه كل ما أشوف...بأنسى قوم و أرجعلك
لازم أغلب ضعفي...مش لازم أسمعلك
و حياة اللي ما بينا...قصدي إللي كان فيوم بينا
لو شفتني قدامك...ما تكلمنيش و إمشي
كل ما أقول أنا هنسى...ألاقيني بحبك لسه
علشان أعرف أسيبك...هبعد و ما أقولكش
أنا كنت بعيش علشانك...مهما جرالي بحبك
بعد إللي انت عملته...أنا مش ح افضل جمبك
مهما تعبت في بعدك...تعبي في قربك أصعب
أنا لو قلت نسيتك...أبقى بحاول أكدب!

I am not selfish

I always loved songs when the female singer talks to her guy about another woman such as Angham's song (Introduce me to her) and this one.

I know that song was released awhile ago, but that doesn't make it less pretty...I already wrote a draft about it but I didn't complete it until now.

I love that song, I begun loving Meryam when I heared her Khaleeji song (she performed the dialect very well)...But I didn't fall for her until I listened to this song.

I just can't love the oriental part (begins at 2:40) of the song enough, It's amazing...I bet you'll love it :D

In the music video, I like the part when she is ignoring him while he is standing behind her :Pp

Here is the music video on youtube

You are the only one in my heart...

Don't say false things...

No "my life" don't say false things!

You can never satisfie me nor her...

It's hard to do it...

Why you are spliting your heart into two parts...

That's why we can't feel it...

What a beautiful song of Diana Haddad, I honestly love her album more than Nawal's...

I have nothing to say about that song, I just love every single thing about it...Just notice the electric guitar with the oriental "Tabla" between each part she sings.

I wish hearts could heel it selves silently...
Nor keep away of love and says it's enough...
I wish the begging of our love was the end...
So we won't live in agony nor hidden wounds

It's a shame to meet like strangers occasionally...
After being in happiness toghether
For manytimes, I wrote poems to describe you...
And I admited sincerely my love to you

I dedicated to you the golden days and begginigs of my life...
So our love can nurture in a warm lap
Is it possible for what we used to share to simply die?
Feelings of scared souls were dead!

It's a shame to meet like strangers occasionally...
After being in happiness toghether
For manytimes, I wrote poems to describe you...
And I admited sincerely my love to you

ليت القلوب تضمد الجراح بسكات...

و إلا تعاف الحب و تقول كافي...

ليتنا عشنا البداية نهايات...

عشنا بلا لوعة و لا جرح خافي...

عيب نتلاقى مثل الأغراب حزات...

من بعد ساعات الهنا و التصافي...

ياما كتبت بوصفك أحلى العبارات...

و أعلنت لك بالعشق صدق إعترافي...

و أهديتك أجمل عمر و أجمل بدايات...

حتى يعيش الحب بحضن دافي...

معقولة يعني ما مضى بيننا مات...

ماتت مشاعر بالضماير خوافي...

It might not be the best song in Asalah's 2008 album, but to me it's...

The song is slow with oriental sad melody, my favorite part of it is the violin which plays in the middle part of the song.

In the song, Asalah was making fun of her ex because he used to make fun of her tourment and now he is being through where she used to be.

Certain parts of the translation isn't that good, but I think this is the best translation I could do for that song.

Look at your self, you are the one who was happy because of what happened to me and I wish you thought to hide your happiness at the time...

Now you are back in regret, please don't waste my time

Seeing you "in a fire makes mine cool down" being through this makes me cool down

Yes, I am happy because you having hard times...

And your only mistake that you choosed to return to me among all people

It's normal when your regret brings you back and now I will be watching you

Life could change in a moment, and your bad moment has came

Whatever you've been though is enough

What brought you back, asnwer me

Bealieve me, I don't care about you anymore

I will walk away without asking what's wrong with you

Yes, I am happy because you having hard times...

And your only mistake that you choosed to return to me among all people

It's normal when your regret brings you back and now I will be watching you

اتفرج على نفسك ياللى فرحت كتير فى اللى حصلى

وياريتك فكرت تدارى

بقى جاى تندم دلوقتى وحياتك ماتضيع وقتى

ايوة انا فرحانه فيك و عيبك من كل الدنيا جتلى انا

والعادى ان الندم يجيبك وعليه هتفرج انا

الدنيا فلحظة بتتغير واهو جالك يوم تبقى صغير

وكفاية كل اللى جرالك

I was post processing the photo above while I was thinking of that song...
The song is very melancholic...Lyrics, music, arrangement and performance can be explained in one word which is "sad".

Released in Latifa 2008 album "Fil Kam Yom Illi Fato" (In the Past Few Days), this is the 4th track in the album "Sebni Showayah" (Leave me for a while).

It begins with a slow "Tabla" (Arab Drums), then amazing violins and Latifa begin to sing.
I love the part when she say "Laih" (Why?), the way she say it :D

When she asked me what do you think my next music video should after the first music video from that album...I instatnly said "Sebni Showaya".

If you were a belly dancer, this is the perfect song :Pp~

Song name: Sebni Showayah (سبني شوية) Leave me alone for awhile

Leave me alone for awhile because I am upset...
Don't remind me of my agony and upset me more...
As much as I would like to speak up and complain about you...
I am afraid that you will oppress me and make my "wound" (pain) worst!

Why?
You don't have a free time for me so I can come and talk to you...
Even while you are staying by me, it seems that I can't find you...
What makes me even worst is seeing you...
The farthest person yet the closest one!

I am holding a grudge but I am hiding it...
I am accepting the little attention you are giving me and your recklessness...
Why and how come you are the most important person in my life...
Yet you make me feel unimportant!

Why?
You don't have a free time for me so I can come and talk to you...
Even while you are staying by me, it seems that I can't find you...
What makes me even worst is seeing you...
The farthest person yet the closest one!

سيبني شوية عشان متضايقة شوية...
ما تقلبش علي مواجعي و تتعب فيا...
ده أنا على قد ما نفسي أتكلم و أشتكي منك...
خايفة لا تيجي على جرحي و تزودها عليا!

ليه؟
هو انت فاضيلي عشان أجي و أحكي معاك...
ده انت بتبقى معايا و جمبي و مش لاقياك...
و إللي مأثر فيا بجد إن أنا شايفاك...
أبعد واحد عني و أقرب واحد ليا!

شايلة فقلبي أنا منك بس أنا مخبية...
راضية معاك بقليلي و بتستهتر بيا...
ليه و إزاي تبقى أنت أهم الناس في حياتي...
و تحسسني إني ماليش أي أهمية!

ليه؟
هو انت فاضيلي عشان أجي و أحكي معاك...

In The Past Few Days

noreply@blogger.com (RADIANT GUY) — Mon, 21 Jul 2008 10:25:00 +0000

Have you ever heard of the phrase "Music Globalization"?
If not...Then this is the best way to know my definition of that phrase!

The song released in Latifa's official website a week or so before the official release of the album on 12th of July 2008.

The first time I heard it It shocked me, I didn't expect to listen to anything like that ever...The song mixes genuine Arab singning teqniqe which is "Arab Tarab" (طرب عربي) - you can hear it when Latifa start singing in the beggining - with an Arab sad melody played with violin, in some parts it feels like the violin is dancing with the westurn disco beat and the electro guitar in the song, I can rephrase that to mixing two extreme unrelated music from two different worlds in a great harmony.

I can't explain that anymore, but you have to listen to it and you'll figure it out (and I would love to know what do you think).

As far as I know, the music video is going to release soon...I will add it here when it's out, maybe with English subtitles since many anonymous people requested the translations of the song (I didn't relize that people actually read my blogs!)

UPDATE: They refer to this music genre as "TekTonik", it even has it's own dance!
This is the first Arab Tektonik song, Latifa mixed it with Arab instruments.

UPDATE 2 (20th of August 2008): Music video was released on 2 - 3 weeks ago, you can watch it with subtitles below:

In the last few days...
He had enough strength to live his life without me...Why?
I can't believe that he accepted to allow the night to fall while he is not beside me!

If he was planning for something...
Why didn't he tell me about it?!
People, When he forget all about me...My life will end instantly!

I've never thought he would push me away and live with other people...
My dear heart, with whom shall I forget my agony if he walked away; and I will always wonder my beloved one now belongs to who?

What is he doing now and where is he?
If one day he saw me with his own eyes...
That day he will feel sorry about me...
Without him, my heart is scared because it already knows the subsequence of being apart

I've never thought he would push me away and live with other people...
My dear heart, with whom shall I forget my agony if he walked away; and I will always wonder my beloved one now belongs to who?

ف الكام يوم اللى فاتوا جالة قلب يعيش حياته

لو نسينى خلاص ساعتها ياناس
هروح أنا فيها
أنا ماستنيتش منه يبعدنى عنه
ويعيش لناس تانيين
مع مين أنا هنسى تعبى لو راح ياقلبى
وهقول حبيبى لمين؟

In the past few days album

noreply@blogger.com (RADIANT GUY) — Sat, 19 Jul 2008 11:22:00 +0000

I honestly didn't expect anything about this album, I thought it was going to be a "Ma Etrohsh Ba'ed" album deplicate but it wasn't at all!

I do love "Ma Etrohsh Ba'ed" album don't miss understand me but this album reminds me of the old Latifa, Latifa of the 80s and 90s...

I loved most of the songs in the album if not all of them (13 songs in the CD and 12 in the cassette), it took me awhile to get it, I usually hate every album I listen to for the first time.

I can't pick one song as the best song in the album, each song has it's own beauty...But I am sure that the song "Fil Kam Yom illi Fato" (In the past few days) is going to make a HIT if it didn't already!
The song mixes extreme Westurn music with Extreme Arab music teqniqyes and instruments in a great harmony....That's what I call Music Globalization.

One of my super favorite songs in the album is "Sibny Shuwaya" (Leave me alone for a while), i also loved "Ya Aghla Qalb" (The most precious heart", "Ana Omri Ma Hansak" (I will never forget you), "Low Fakir" (If you remember), "Beyikthib" (He is lieing), "Konna Zaman" (We used to be), "Rohi Betrod Fiya" (My soul returns to me), "Fakir Eh" (Do you think).

I am still listening to the album and finding new songs that I might love, but I think it does worth buying.

I made the video below almost 2 weeks ago, enjoy :)

ويعيش لناس تانيين

مع مين انا هنسى تعبي لو راح يا قلبي

وهقول حبيبي لمين

I can't really remember when did that song exactly released, I think it was during my Summer school in 2000. At the time, it was my national anthem...I used to listen to it all the time non stop and sometimes I still do.

It's a sad song, I love the music of it and the lyrics and everything about it.

You've been upset because of me...And I didn't know how to make it up to you...
Nor I knew the end of your oppression and questioning...
I am going to leave my love and hide my depresstion in my veins because I don't want to bother you
I am the one who would give you anything while your opressing won't change me...
If leaving will make you feel better, I will ask God to help me...
And don't forget the honestly of my faithfulness, my reality and the way I am thinking of you...
You've been upset because of me...And I didn't know how to make it up to you

I am the one who dedicated her life to you, to your sadness and your craziness
I always forgiven you but you never knew that...
Because you were my universe, exactly how I used to be yours...
And because I really love you, I accpeted to allow your love to me dies and to hold the spirit in my chest
I am going to leave my love and hide my depresstion in my veins because I don't want to bother you
I am the one who would give you anything while your opressing won't change me...
If leaving will make you feel better, I will ask God to help me...
And don't forget the honestly of my faithfulness, my reality and the way I am thinking of you...
You've been upset because of me...And I didn't know how to make it up to you

I care about you and I try to protect you from your self, your present and your past...
And I am afraid that our life time pass by
If you have a word you want to say, I am missing that word
I want to give a chance to happiness and you will have no other chance, and I have no one in my life except you
I am going to leave my love and hide my depresstion in my veins because I don't want to bother you
I am the one who would give you anything while your opressing won't change me...
If leaving will make you feel better, I will ask God to help me...
And don't forget the honestly of my faithfulness, my reality and the way I am thinking of you...
You've been upset because of me...And I didn't know how to make it up to you

زعلت...ولا عرفت أرضيك...
و لا أدري وش آخر الظلم و التشكيك...
أبرحل يا صدى شوقي و أداري الهم بعروقي و لا أشقيك
أنا اللي بكل شي أفديك و ظلمك ما يغيرني...
دام إن الهجر يرضيك بقول الله يصبرني...
ولا تنسى صدق الوفى مني و حقيقة واقعي و إنشغالي فيك...
زعلت...ولا عرفت أرضيك

أنا إللي عشت لعيونك، لأحزانك و لجنونك
عذرتك و إنت ما تدري...
لأنك كنت لي دنيا مثل ما كنت لك دنيا
و لأني من كثر ما أحبك قبلت أموت في قلبك و أشيك روح في صدري
أبرحل يا صدى شوقي و أداري الهم بعروقي و لا أشقيك
أنا اللي بكل شي أفديك و ظلمك ما يغيرني
دام إن الهجر يرضيك بقول الله يصبرني
ولا تنسى صدق الوفى مني و حقيقة واقعي و إنشغالي فيك
زعلت...ولا عرفت أرضيك

عليك أخاف من نفسك و من يومك و من أمسك
و أخاف إن العمر يجري
و إذا في خاطرك كلمة...أنا مشتاقة للكلمة
أبهدي للفرح فرصة و ما لك غيرها فرصة و مالي غيرك بعمري
أبرحل يا صدى شوقي و أداري الهم بعروقي و لا أشقيك
أنا اللي بكل شي أفديك و ظلمك ما يغيرني
دام إن الهجر يرضيك بقول الله يصبرني
ولا تنسى صدق الوفى مني و حقيقة واقعي و إنشغالي فيك
زعلت...ولا عرفت أرضيك

This is one of my very favorite songs of Angham, pure oriental song (belly dance kind of songs) where the Arab musical instruments such as "Qanoon" (Qanun) and the Arab "Maqsoom" rythm rules.

The song's lyrics is like an advice from Angham (or better say the song's writer Nasser Rashwan) to lonely people.

I've tried my best to translate the lyrics from Arabic to English, it wasn't as good as the original Arabic but at least now you can get the idea.

Find someone...
To listen to you whenever you are depressed...
To be your companion, your family and your home...
To call you if one day you were lost...
To see through you whenever you tried to hide your pain upon people...
To sense your agony no matter how far you are...
Find someone...

Find a dream
Don't let your life pass with illusions...
Life flips between happiness and pain
When you water thorn it will grow into roses
Find someone...

Find someone to long for you
And a beloved one who would come to you whenever he/she misses you
If you felt that your nights (nights figure speech for agony/despair/sadness) are endless...
He/She will be a dawn, a sun and a tomorrow (as future and hope)
Fine someone...
To be your companion, your family and your home...
To call you if one day you were lost...
To see through you whenever you tried to hide your pain upon people...
To sense your agony no matter how far you are
Find someone

إلقالك حد...لو ضاقت بيك يفتحلك قلب
يبقالك صحبة و أهل و بيت
يناديك لو إنت فيوم ضليت
و يشوفك لو عالخلق داريت

إلقالك حلم من الأحلام
ما تسيبش سنينك للأوهام
الدنيا ما بين أفراح و آلام
و الشوك تسقيه يطرحلك ورد
إلقالك حد

إلقالك قلب يحن إليك
و حبيب يشتاق و يروح يلاقيك
لو طالت في الأيام لياليك
يبقالك فجر و شمس و غد
إلقالك حد

Wake up my nation

noreply@blogger.com (RADIANT GUY) — Tue, 29 Apr 2008 23:01:00 +0000

I've taken some photos randomly the other day, when I had a look of them on my PC I instatnly thought of this song.

The first time I heard it in 2002 performed by Asalah live on TV, and I recenlty I found out that It was performed by a male singer called Emad Rami in 2006.

The song by Asalah was written by Abdulrahman Al Abanodi, composed and arranged by Jamal Salama...I guess it was the same for the male singer although some parts of the lyrics and the music arrangment is different.

I like the chorus in Asalah's version, the way they repeat everything as Asalah's echo.

Below you can find Asalah's version then Emad's

Wake up my nation before you torn apart
Before you are lost a lone in the darkness of the time/destiny

Look around you...
All people are united except me...
All efforts intisified except me...
I am the one who is suffering...
I am the one who is miserable...
Wake up my nation

Our "grand parents" (ancestors) made life...
And they "inspired" (spread) the world with "light" (science)...

Sigh

We are sleeping while our enimies are monitoring us...Conspiring and lurking...
We are sleeping while our enimies are monitoring us...Thinking...Planning and executing

We always says "we used to be..."
My nation...We want to be

Dear God, comply to us
And my nation, WAKE UP

إستيقظي يا أمتي من قبل أن تتمزقي
من قبل أن تتشتتي في غربة الزمن الشقي

فلنتظري...
كل الشعوب توحدت إلا أنا
كل الجهود تكاتفت إلا أنا
أنا الذي عانى أنا
أنا الذي قاسى أنا
يا أمتي إستيقظي

أجدادنا صنعوا الحياة
و ألهموا الكون ضياء
و آه منا نحن آه
نغفوا و أعداء لنا متربصون...يتآمرون...يترصدون و يرصدون يا أمتي
نغفوا و أعداء لنا متربصون...يفكرون...يخططون...ينفذون...يا أمتي

OH MY GOD, Isn't this the most beautiful song I heard since the beginning of the year or what?
It's my current national anthem LOL

Listen to the music arrangement carefully, the music massacre of the violins combined with sax...Just perfect!
The lyrics is beautiful, this is the third song I heard written by Siham She'asha'a (The first one was by Latifa "Ashoofak" and the second one is "Sho Beni" by Ibrahim Al Hakami).

Whenever I hear someone's steps I instantly think of you and your promise...
"The universe" (Figure speech for life is moving as the sun rises and set on time everyday) came on time but you never did

That promise which I've been waiting for by the window
People came by while others break a part and never got bored waiting for you
Whenever I hear someone's steps I instantly think of you and your promise...
"The universe" (Figure speech for life is moving as the sun rises and set on time everyday) came on time but you never did
Sign...You never did

When the Sun rises every morning I remember the warmth of your eyes
I've been waiting for you to come by and pity my longing to you
Nobody is waiting for me anymore, nor there is no one to warm my cold hands, nor there is no one to hear me whenever I talk
Whenever I hear someone's steps I instantly think of you and your promise...
"The universe" (Figure speech for life is moving as the sun rises and set on time everyday) came on time but you never did

كل ما سمعت دعسة حدا بفكر بوعدي و فيك
الدنيا اجت ع موعدا و انت بعد ما جيت

هالموعد اللي صارله عمر ناطر على الشباك
مرقوا بشر...فلوا بشر... ما مل يستناك
كل ما سمعت دعسة حدا بفكر بوعدي و فيك
الدنيا اجت ع موعدا و انت بعد ما جيت
آه...و انت بعد ما جيت

كل ما الصبح تشرق شمس بذكر دفا عينيك
يا ما انطرت صوبي تجي ترحم حنيني ليك
ما عاد في عندي حدا ينطر مواعيدي
و لا عاد في عندي حدا يدفي برد ايدي
و لا عاد في عندي حدا يسمعني لولا حكيت

I've been walking for many years (Years are passing)

noreply@blogger.com (RADIANT GUY) — Fri, 04 Apr 2008 04:29:00 +0000

That was one of the hardest songs to translate :D
She talk in plural form, but in Arabic it could mean two things...She could be talking about many people such as friends or family. Also in Arabic we use plural form as a sign for respect for certain person such as prince, king, or maybe a lover.

The song is full of figure speeches, the title it self is a figure speech...She doesn't mean that she is walking for many years literally, it's a figure speech for years are passing.

Watch the video with English translation below ;)

I've been walking for many years...
While I was hiding my pain upon them...
For many years my soul was owned by them...
I've never longed to nobody except them...
And I never felt lonely while I was with them!

For my whole life I was trying to hide my agony upon them...
Because I didn't want them to suffer even by a breeze of air blowing on their eyes...
And now I regret it...
Because they betrayed our golden years together and forgot all about love in one second!

I and my heart are confused...
Although many years already passed yet we couldn't forget them...
I've hidden my tear because I didn't want them to see it...
I swallowed my sighs because I didn't want them to hear it!

I've been walking for many years...
While I was hiding my pain upon them...
For many years my soul was owned by them...
I've never longed to nobody except them...
And I never felt lonely while I was with them!

مشيت سنين...و أنا أداري عليهم
و بقيت سنين...و أنا روحي بإيديهم
و لا حنيت في يوم إلا لهواهم
و لا حسيت بالغربية في لحظة معاهم

و طول عمري بداري عليهم...
بخاف من النسمة لا تجرح عينيهم
و لكن يا ندم...
دول خانوا للعشرة و باعوا للحب و نسيوا في لحظة

أنا و قلبي يا روحي حيارة...
سنين و لا بننسى يا عيني خسارة
داريت في دمعتي خايفة لا يشوفوها...
كتمت الآه في قلبي عنهم لا يسمعوها

I guess I loved the song because of the music in the first place, I love Waleed Sa'ad's music he is a great composer.
Yasmin is a new singer, this is her first album...She has a beautiful voice.
The song I am talking about isn't well known because there is not a music video of it, "Ban Alaya Hawah" is more popular since it's a dance song and there is a music video of it.

I dedicated my life to you but you never appreciated it...
I "lit my own fingers to you" the way you lit candles but that wasn't enough to you...
What else you want me to do, tell me honestly?
Honestly, being away of you will not affect me...Sometimes I might feel bad but mostly I will not
I will be waiting for you this night but if you didn't comeback...
I won't be miserable because you are the one who left in the first place
If you decided to leave I will leave too, I am going to lose either way

I forgot about many bad things you've done
Then I forgive you and forget about it then you "wound" (hurt) me again
This time I am going to leave you without any regret
Honestly, being away of you will not affect me...Sometimes I might feel bad but mostly I will not
I will be waiting for you this night but if you didn't comeback...

I won't be miserable because you are the one who left in the first place

If you decided to leave I will leave too, I am going to lose either way

إديتك من عمري كتير و ما حسيتش...
قدت صوابعي العشرة شموع ما رضيتش..
اعمل ايه علشانك تاني قول بأمانة...
بأمانة من غيرك أنا مش تعبانة...بزعل أوقات و كتير قوي مش زعلانة آه مش زعلانة
ح استناك ليلة و مش راجع...
ح اتعب على ايه ما انت البايع
تبعد ح ابعد مهي كدة كدة خسرانة

انا ياما كنت بعدي حاجات جارحاني
و ارجع اسامحك و انسى و ترجع تجرح ثاني
و المرة دي بجد ح اسيبك و مش ندمانة

The Arab Conscience operetta

noreply@blogger.com (RADIANT GUY) — Thu, 20 Mar 2008 17:39:00 +0000

You can use everything in the following post where ever you want.

On 27th of February 2008, I watched "Al Dhameer Al Arabi" (The Arab Conscience) operetta premiere on Zoom TV, which is considered part two of "Al Hilm Al Arabi" (The Arab Dream) operetta which was produced in 1998.

It's extends for more than 40 minutes, I according to the director, it's might get into the Guinness book for longest non stop song in the world.

It features more than 100 Arab artist, singers, actors, hosts...Etc, and talks about war using real archival videos of events took place in the whole world between 1998 to 2008.

The song is very touching I translated it to English but some parts made non sense because as I always says translating an Arab poem will make it loses the power of it.

Here is a list of some topics been brought up in the operetta:

9/11 attacks, Danish cartoons, Israeli massacres in Lebanon and Palestine, Desert fox, Sharon entrance to Al-Haram Al-Qudsi and the second Intifadha, Assassination of Muhammad Al-Durrah, War on Iraq, Kenya and Tanzania bombings, Bombing of southern Lebanon, War on terror, Resistance, World Peace, Terrorism, Arabism, Freedom of religion, Freedom of expression, Turning ethinic groups against each others, Civil wars, the Arab Dream Operetta, Separation wall in the Palestinian territores, Golan heights, Abu Ghraib prison, Human rights, Democracy, Al-Haram Al-Qudsi...Others

The operetta begins with two legends Wadee'a Al Safi (وديع الصافي) and Mohammad Al Ezabi (محمد العزبي) performing "Mawwal" (An Arab music genre), the actual operetta begins at 6:13 minutes.

It features Arab singers from many Arab countries such as Latifa (لطيفة), Hani Shaker (هاني شاكر), Nancy Ajram (نانسي عجرم), Khaled (خالد), Sherine (شيرين), Saber Al Rebai (صابر الرباعي), Redha Al Abdullah (رضا العبدالله), Amal Maher (آمال ماهر), Khaled Selim (خالد سليم), Ahlam (أحلام), Diana Karazon (ديانا كرزون), Abdullah Al Rowaished (عبدالله الرويشد), Wa'ad (وعد), Ehab Tawfeeq (إيهاب توفيق), Mostafa Mahfooth (مصطفى محفوظ), Amal Hejazi (أمل حجازي), Wa'el Jassar (وائل جسار), Omniyah (أمنية), Ammar Hassan (عمار حسن), Asalah (أصالة), Jailani (الشاب جيلاني), Nancy Za'abalawi (نانسي زعبلاوي), Majid Al Muhandis (ماجد المهندس), Amnah (آمنه), Lotfi Boshnaq (لطفي بوشناق), Yara (يارا), Omar Al-Abdullat (عمر عبداللات), Nawal (نوال), Noor Mhna (نور مهنا), Fatin Helal Baik (فاتن هلال بك), Mo'amin (مؤمن) and celebrities from many Qatar, UAE, Bahrain, Egypt, Syria, Jordan, Lebanon and Kuwait.

You can watch full length music video below, uploaded on google video with English subtitles.

I have no idea where did they get all those lyrics for all those singers, you can find them below with English translations (they are not as good as the original Arabic though; I made them just to give you a general idea about what they are saying)

I've heard that song the other day and I thought it sounds like Marwan Khoury's style...Later I found out it was actually written and composed by him!

Hekmat (Hikmate) is a Moroccan singer, I think she is a new one because I never heard of her until now...The song was amazing, I found her album somewhere online and I listened to it and I was instantly attached to this song...
I wrote this post as a draft on 24th of Nov. 2007 and I didn't complete it until now, I was hearing it all the time back then but I didn't really know that she did shoot a music video of it!

It's not as great as I imagined it to be, you can watch it below...

I loved you and I always will...No matter what you say...No matter how long we'll be mad at each others...I'll always love you

I told you and I'll keep telling you...Try to understand me...Don't toughen up on me...You might be able to read in my eyes what I am saying...Sigh

I told you, you can't own my heart whenever you want...
If you desire me and want us to reach the end of the road together...
Try to understand me once in your life...I don't want you to imagine me in your mind then ask me to be the way you imagined me...
Try to accept me the way I am, you might find out my real beauty, what is in my heart and my mind, it's not enough for me to know that you like me because of my pretty eyes

How many times I confessed my self that you will change soon, but when you look to me tenderly I forgot about it..
You told me and sweared to me ; and I didn't believe what I am seeing nor feeling...I tried to hide my tears and then I said this is the last time you act this way...Sigh
I am afraid that you will own my heart unfairly...I surrender my self to you and walk the way my self

حبيتك و بحبك أنا على طول...لو مهما حبيبي تقول...او مهما الزعل يطول...حبيتك
قلتلك و بقلك...حاول تفهمني شوية...لا تجرب تقسى علي...يمكن تقرا بعنيا شو بقلك...آه

قلتلك مش على كيفك تملك هالقلب...
لو بدكياني و ناوي نمشي هالدرب...
حاول تفهمني بحياتك مره فهمني و حياتك...برفض ترسمني بخيالك و بأوهامك تقلي كوني...
حاول تقبلني على حالي يمكن تتعرف ع جمالي شو مخبى بقلبي و أفكاري ما بيكفيني تحب عيوني

كم مرة أقول بتتغير بكرة، تضحك على قلبي بنظرة، ترجع ترضيني بغمرة كم مرة..
و تقلي تحلفلي كذب عيني و قلبي...الملم دمعاتي بخبي بس بقلك يا حبي هالمره آه
خيفانة ظلم عيونك يملك هالقلب...أتركلك حالي و أمشي لحالي هالدرب

Whenever you are depressed

Another great song by Saber Rebai'e and the duet (composer and writer) Waleed Sa'ad and Hani Abdulkareem...
This song was my favorite song of Saber's 2007 album, I was listening to it non stop for so long, I even had it as my cellphone's ringtone.

The other day I was watching him with the host "Hala Sarhan" (هالة سرحان) and she said that he cried in the studio while he was singing this song...He said that was true he got emotional when he was singing a specific phrase so he wanted to redo it but they confessed him to use the one with the crying part and he did actually release it that way...You can hear that part in the audio track at 1:23 minutes.

I am glad he decided to shot this song among the others from his 2007 album, you can watch the music video below.

Song name: Dhaqat Beek (Whenever you are depressed) ضاقت بيك
Album: Al Ghorba الغربة 2007
Song genre: Egyptian, Pop Music,slow,fast Romance, Love
Singer: Saber Al Rebai'e - صابر الرباعي
Lyrics by: Hani Abdulkareem - هاني عبدالكريم
Composed by: Waleed Sa'ad - وليد سعد
Arranged by: Mid'hat Khamees - مدحت خميس
Translated by: RADIANT GUY (ME)

I always support you against day (in your bad days), but when destiny smiles to you and take your side...
You instantly forget all about me while I pray for God to look after you

Whenever you are depressed...You always want me to stick around...
Whenever you are fine...You consider my faithfulness a burden which you want to get rid off...
In both ways I remain silent, I don't want to forget you nor I want to!

People says when a lover can't tolerate his beloved one anymore, he will not love him but will not hate him either...
But I already can't tolerate it anymore yet I can't hate you nor stop loving you!

كل مرة بكون معاك عالزمن و أما الزمن يضحكلك و يكون وياك
على طول تبيعني من غير ثمن و أنا برضو بدعي ربنا معاك

ضاقت بيك...تبقى عايزني أكون حواليك
ضحكت ليك...إخلاصي يكون حمل عليك
في الحالتين ساكت لا بنساك و لا بقدر أنساك

قالوا إن اللي يحب بجد لو فاض بيه من اللي يحبه...ما يحبش بس ما يكرهش
!و أنا فاض بيا تعبت بجد...قد ما بتعب لا كرهتك و لا عارف حتى ما أحبكش

Take good care of me

My favorite song of Elissa 2008 album...No wonder because it was composed by Waleed Sa'ad...Most of his work is amazing if not all of it!

It's kinda similar to a song from her 2006 album "Law Bassaet Qoddamak".

The music arrangement of the song is amazing, those violins are making me melt!

Here is a montaged video I found on Youtube...Elissa is NOT in the clip but you can hear the song if you don't like to download the MP3

Take good care of me...This is not a tender way to treat me...
And keep in mind all the days I devoted my self to you

If only you could understand me and not take it granted...
A woman who has ached without revealing it...
This woman who has sacrificed and tolerated so much...
When she decides to walk away, she will not ask for your permission!

There were many missing things in you and I made them all perfect...
And I made the ugly parts of you pretty...
My love is an opportunity that you will regret if you lost it!

Who else will spend days worrying about you?
Who else will let you take her soul with you, if you decided to walk away?
Who else will you find whenever you need someone around?

خذ بالك عليا...دي مش معاملة تعاملني بيها
و إبقى إفتكر ليا...أيام تعبت عشانك فيها

يا ريتك بس تفهمني و ما تستهونش
دي وحدة تبقى مجروحة و ما بتبينش
دي الوحده قد ما تضحي و تستحمل...اول ما ما بتفكر تنسى ما بتستأذنش

كان في حاجات ناقصاك و أنا كملتها
و حاجات كتير مش حلوة فيك جملتها
أنا فرصة لو ضيعتها تزعل عليها

مين غيري عايشة تخاف عليك طول عمرها
مين غيري هتسيب روحها ليك لو سبتها
مين غيري لو تحتاجلها قوام هتلاقيها

I love all or at least 80% of each album of the ones above, but that doesn't mean that I didn't like some other songs from different other singers.
على الأقل أحب 80% من الاغاني في الالبومات اللي ذكرتهم فوق مو شرط كل الالبوم حلو، بس هذا مو معناه اني ما حبيت اغنيات ثانية من مغنيين ثانيين.

Rayan 2007 Wain Brouh

noreply@blogger.com (RADIANT GUY) — Mon, 17 Dec 2007 21:21:00 +0000

My most recent addiction is Rayan's 2oo7 album, until now I loved more than half the album; to me that's a success :)

Rayan (ريان) has a powerful voice, I liked him when I listen to some of his songs last album, he recently released this album so I wanted to share it with all my blog's readers if there is any LOL

It's true that the intro of the title song "Wain Brouh" (Where should I go) sounds like a Turkish song called "Istanbul Istanbul Olali" by "Husnu Senlendirici" but it doesn't matter because both of them sounds amazing!

The album contains 8 songs, most favorite songs will be on the top:

1- "Ma Haram" (Is that fair?) ما حرام
2- "Athabi Merafiqni" (My torture accompanies me) عذابي مرافقني
3- "Wain Brouh" (Where should I go?) وين بروح
4- "Allah Ma'ak" (May God be with you) الله معك
5- "Bism El Hawa" (n the name of love) بإسم الهوى
6- "Ya Habeebi" (My beloved one) يا حبيبي
7- "Ha Allimak" (I will teach you) ح أعلمك
8- "Ghasban Anni" (Against my will) غصباً عني

Somiya 2007

noreply@blogger.com (RADIANT GUY) — Mon, 17 Dec 2007 21:01:00 +0000

The first time I heard Somiya was through unofficial release of a song called "Qalb O Rah" (A passing heart) قلب و راح, at the time I thought she was Sherine because her voice is very similar to Sherine's.

Later I forgot about it until one day I watched her interview on Rai TV when she was talking about one of her songs recorded twice with two different lyrics written by two different poets with the exact music and arrangment, I was curious about it so I listened to the album and I was amazed.

My top songs lists is:

1- Ghayyarni Jarhi (My wound have changed me) غيرني جرحي
2- El Ayyam (Days or Destiny) الأيام
3- Khalas Ya Demo'ei (My tears stop it) خلاص يا دموعي
4- Ana Aisha (I am living) انا عايشة
5- Qalb Wo Rah (A passing heart) قلب و راح - This song did not release officially
6- Ha A'esh Baqa (I will survive) ح اعيش بقى
7- Ham Yebakki هم يبكي
8- Laf Wo Dawaran لف و دوران
9- Baqeet Betohashni بقيت بتوحشني

Yasmin 2007 Shaklak Ha Tohshni

noreply@blogger.com (RADIANT GUY) — Mon, 17 Dec 2007 21:00:00 +0000

Many albums released recently but I didn't had a chance to review all of them, one of the albums is Yasmin's.

My favorite song of the album is "Bi Amanah" (To be honest) بأمانة NO wonder it's written by Hani Abdulkareem and composed by Walid Sa'ad :)

Songs I like of the album:

1- Bi Amanah (To be honest) بأمانة
2- Hott Nafsak Fi Makani (Be in my shoe) حط نفسك في مكاني
3- Hashofak Etha (I will see you if) ح اشوفك إذا
4- Ma De'eftish Osado (I didn't reveal my weakness to him) ما ضعفتش قصاده
5- Mish Momkin Tekon Insan (You are not human) مش ممكن تكون إنسان

Autumn leafs

noreply@blogger.com (RADIANT GUY) — Mon, 29 Oct 2007 17:21:00 +0000

I know, it's been months since the last time I wrote a thing about my latest favorite songs which I keep listening to them all the time.
Many albums released for well known singers and for some new ones, I loved many of them but I've been really crowded lately working on my personal site but now I am kinda free so I can do it again.

It's hard to talk about this song, I love the lyrics more than the arrangement it self but the over all song is superb, at least for me.
Hasna (the singer) usually perform fast tempo songs with fun lyrics but she kinda changed her style in her last album which was released recently.
Until now I loved 3 songs of 7 and that's a good thing :)
I have no idea what people will think about this song but I love it anyway :Pp~

There is a thing which is decreasing constantly...A thing which never reached perfection...
There is a thing which is going to end...A hopeless case...
The autumn leafs are falling...
Tell me, how come this love was murdered?

You are still remaining silent, you rarely talk...
Where did your longing to me gone?
My dream was burned just like a piece of paper, and the night light was extinguished!

You've stolen the sleepiness of my eyes...Don't you realize it?
Where is the lover I used to know?
Where did all the faithfulness gone?
Where did all the love you used to have for me go?

في شئ عم ينقص بعده ما إكتمل
في شئ راح يخلص ما منه أمل
بلش ورق الخريف...ينزل على الرصيف
قولي ليش و كيف هالحب إنقتل؟

ساكتك بعدك ساكت...ما بتحكي قليل
وين اللهفة غابت و الحلم الطويل؟
!مثل الورق حلمي إحترق و انطفئ القنديل

نوم عيوني سارق...ما بتشعر أكيد
وينه هاك العاشق
وين إختفى كل الوفا و الحب الوحيد؟
