Leave me alone for a while...



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~

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...
ده انت بتبقى معايا و جمبي و مش لاقياك...
و إللي مأثر فيا بجد إن أنا شايفاك...
أبعد واحد عني و أقرب واحد ليا!

My reailty

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.


Song name: Haqeeqat Waqi'ei (My reailty) حقيقة واقعي
Album: Haqeeqat Waqi'ei (حقيفة واقعي) in Gulf region and Yameen Allah (يمين الله) in the rest of the Arab World (released in 2001 or 2000, I can't really remember but it reminds me of Summer school)
Song genre: Slow, Oriental, Belly Dance
Singer: Asalah, Assala, Assalah, Asala أصالة
Lyrics by: Gheyoodh - غيوض
Composed & Arranged by: Mohammad Dhiya'a - محمد ضياء

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

Find someone

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.


Song name: Elqalak Had (Find someone) إلقالك حد
Album: Wahdaniya (1999) وحدانية
Song genre: Slow,Oriental, Sharqi, Belly Dance
Singer: Angham أنغام
Lyrics by: Nassir Rashwan - ناصر رشوان
Composed & Arranged by: Ameer Abdulmajeed - أمير عبدالمجيد

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
و يحسك رغم البين و البعد
إلقاك حد...

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

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


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.

Song name: Mesheet Seneen (I've been walking for many years)
Album: Qad Al Horoof قد الحروف 2003
Song genre: Sharqi, Oriental, Belly Dance
Singer: Asalah, Assala, Asala - أصالة
Lyrics by: Al Nasser - الناصر
Composed by: Ya'aqoub Al Khobaizi - يعقوب الخبيزي
Arranged by: Omar Abdulaziz - عمر عبدالعزيز
Translated by: RADIANT GUY (ME)


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 want no body except you



Sherine has a great voice and childish personality which I love. I always loved her slow songs but what makes this song special the "Maqsoom rhythm" (Maqsoom is the oriental rhythm some people refer to it as belly dance music) mixed with light rock guitars.
The song is very romantic. When Sherine perform the song life in concerts she sing it with different lyrics, the translation below is of the studio version of the song.
The song was never released officially, that's why I know nothing about the writer, the composer and the music arranger...All what I know about the song that it's could be found online since the year 2005.
Begin with the studio version ;)

Song name: Mosh Aiza Gherak Inta (Arabic script: مش عايزة غيرك انت) - I want no body except you
Singer: Sherine, Shereen or Sherein- شيرين
Song genre: Arab pop music / slow

I want no body except you...
I swear I love you only...
You are my only love...
You are everybody to me

Years of my life passed away while I was living in agony...
There was something missing in my life and it was completed with you

My beloved one, while I am with you I feel that I own the whole world and time!
When your hands touches me, It's seems that I am in another world!
I need nobody of human kind except you...
It's enough to know that you belongs to me!


Because I love you a lot, I don't even want to blink!
I want to be with you, see you and live just for you!
If one second passed while I am not with you, I'll die and only your love will keep me a life!


مش عايزه غيرك انت
والله بحبك انت
و الحب كله انت
و انت الناس كلها


دي سنين العمر راحوا
قلبي عاشها بجراحه
كانت ناقصاني حاجه
و معاك كملتها


يا حبيبي معاك بملك بهواك الدنيا و كل زماني
تلمسني ايديك تحضني عينيك تلاقيني فعالم ثاني
مش عايزه خلاص غيرك من الناس و كفايه تكون علشاني


من كثر هواك طول مانا وياك مش عايزه اغمض عيني
عايزه ابقى معاك و افظل شايفاك و اعيشلك كل سنيني
لو ثانيه تفوت من غيرك اموت و هواك بس بيحيني




و هذه كلمات الأغنية كما تعنيها شيرين في حفلاتها


مش عايزه غيرك انت
والله بحبك انت
و الحب كله انت
و انت الناس كلها


يا أغلى من عيوني...
االليل و الشوق جابوني...
لعيونك أنسى فيهم أحزان أنا عشتها


قبلك كان قلبي فاضي...
عايش أيامه عادي...
و أما لقيتك قصادي حبيت طعم الهنا

Friendship never last forever, IT'S TRUE!

I just don't know what went wrong, it's might be me or he just found a "better" friends group?
We've been best friends for more than 14 years but not anymore, he even changed his number so I don't call him (I wouldn't call him anyway even If I had his number but he is thinking that he is the Queen Elizabeth II and I would be running after him)!

I know I DID NOTHING WRONG but I have no idea what's wrong with him, I wanted to know what went wrong exactly but not anymore since he did forget all those years of our friendship.

I used to think about him for awhile but now I belly dance on Latifa's song "Khalleek Ba'eed" (Translation: Keep Away).

If you think walking a way will make you feel better, OK then you can keep away..
If that would make you more comfortable, I will be happy for you..
But don't return few days later asking for my forgiveness, and to reconciled again!

It's typical of you to forget all about our great days together whenever we have a little problem, I swear if I walked away you will feel lonely even If you had a thousand friends around you
My dear why you are treating me this way?

Don't be patient, return and ask for my forgiveness, and to reconciled again!


P.S. I don't really love Queen Elizabeth II; I am just trying to make a point, I hope she won't sue me for using her name LOL
