Don't go away..

Latifa won the best middle eastern singer in the World Music Awards 2004 for that album. It's was a smash hit in the Arab world.
This song is a great example of Arab Pop Music, you can listen to Arab instruments such as Tabla along with Techno beats, she perform a short part with Arab rhythms in the song.

The song was performed in three different languages!
The first time in the year 2001 by the Greek singer "Despina Vandi", the song's name is "Ah Kardoula Mou".
In the year 2003 the song's music was recomposed and rearranged (legally) and released in Arabic language by "Latifa", the song's name is "Ma Etrohsh Ba'ed" (Don't go away).
"Havas" is the name of the Persian version, released in 2005...It's a remix of the Arabic version performed by the Persian singer "Shohreh Solati"; that one wasn't legal.

Despite it's legal or not, I think it's a great way that people around the world can share the exact passion of Music, I know it's took two years for each version to reach others and I really wish if there is a faster way so everybody can listen to the latest songs in all over the world in the exact released date.

The photo above is my graphics work of Latifa performing the song in the World Music Awards 2004 also you might notice her photo with Celine Dion.
Latifa's speech was censored by the USA media when she said "My happiness remains incomplete until Iraq & Palestine are freed"!

Here is the song's video clip...VIVA YOUTUBE LOL

My Love, Don't go away
My love, I need you beside me
My love, come closer to me...Come closer

For many starry nights I’ve been living imagining you in my fantasies...
Before seeing you my precious I kept thinking of you every awaking moment


My love, while you are beside me all my life is full of love; your love is the most valuable to me.
With every night your words were on my mind, you are the life in my eyes and the world to my heart.

Dear starry nights he finally told me that I am the love of his life
SIGH

The years of my life passed before knowing you and no one has replaced you ever
All I need is your heart to be with me even for one second
It's enough for me to have you as my forever love in my heart
Love… Always stay with me and don’t go away

حبيبي...ماتروحش بعيد يا حبيبي
أنا عايزاك جنبي حبيبي
قرب من قلبي حبيبي...قرب لي كمان
ليالي أنا عشت معاك في خيالي
قبل ما أشوفك يا غالي
ولا ثانية تغيب عن بالي
يا حياتي أنا
حبيبي و أنت جنبي
الحب كله بيملى قلبي
و حبك اغلى ما ليا
ليالي على بالي
كل كلمة قلتهالي
يا دنية قلبي و عنيا
يا ليالي حبيبي قالهالي
انت عمري و أعز غالي

سنيني قبلك مرت على عيني
و لا شئ عنك يغنيني
قلبك وحده يكفيني
لو ثانية لقا
كفاية أني أشوفك جوايا
مالي قلبي و هوايا
خليك على طول ويايا
يا حبيبي بقى

The song

"AL GHENYWA" is a great song by Latifa, released in the year 1997 as a part two of her 1986 hit song "Akthar Min Roohi" (More than my soul).
Both songs are a mix of Arab instruments and Spanish Tango.

Lyrics by: Abdulwahab Mohammed
Translated by: Hanine Jaraiseh


The song that we use to hear when we’re together is still on my mind constantly.
It's always moves and touches me every time I hear it.
I wonder if it’s the same for you when you hear it, does it still effect u the same way?
Does it make u cry about the way we ended up? Or you will not even care?
Did you forgot all about it; did you forget all about me too?
Did you completely forget me and our song?
The song that said “ I love you more than myself, honestly I love you even more”.

Years past and life drifted us apart; look who you’re with now, and who I’m with.
But I’m still thinking of our days together, and the same song still comes on my mind constantly.
I wonder if it’s the same for you when you hear it, does it still effect u the same way?
Does it make u cry about the way we ended up? Or you will not even care?
Did you forgot all about it; did you forget all about me too?
Did you completely forget me and our song?
The song that said “ I love you more than myself, honestly I love you even more”

Are you crying about the way we ended up?
“ I love you more than myself, honestly I love you even more”

Are you crying about the way we ended up?
“ I love you more than myself, honestly I love you even more”

Are you crying about the way we ended up?
“ I love you more than myself, honestly I love you even more”

Are you crying about the way we ended up?

If you had a look

I think this is the first Arab Rock song ever!
Released in the year 2003, the song's style might be weird in the Arab world.

If you had a look in my eyes...
If you loved me just a little bit...
If you had feelings towards me the way I have towards you...
If you didn't act careless...
You will see the world differently!

If you were confused come to me...
If you felt like a fire burning you inside out; let me (extinguish it) deal with it...
If one day you were lost, just call me...
If you whispered to me...
I'll be with you in a second!

If you accepted me my dear...
If you became a part of my life...
If you belonged to me exclusively...
If you loved me as much as I love you...
I'll fulfill your life so you will not need anything from the outer world anymore!

لو بصيت في عينية...
لو حبيتني شوية...
لو حسيت إحساسي...
لو ما عملتش ناسي...
ح تشوف الدنيا غير الدنيا

لو محتار تعالالي...
لو فيك نار سيبهالي...
لو يوم تهت ناديني...
لو تهمس تلاقيني...
أوصلك يا حياتي بثانية

لو ترضى يا حياتي...
لو تدخل في حياتي...
لو تبقى لي أنا وحدي...
لو ح تحبني قدي...
أغنيك أنا وحدي عن الدنيا!

I am NOT what I am!

Amazing song of Asalah...Here is the videoclip


Album: Moshtaqa (2002)
Song genre: Slow/Arab pop
Singer: Asalah
Writer: Majdi Al Najjar
Composed and arranged by: Mohammed Dheya'a

If you didn't return to me again...
If you didn't swear that a second away of me equal a year...
If you didn't believe that heaven exist between my arms...
I am NOT what I am!

If you didn't realised that the secret of your tenderness is me...
If you didn't realisd that the love in your heart is created only for me...
If you didn't realised that as far as you go you still will return willing for me...
I am NOT what I am!

If you didn't regret the days you've been away of me...
If you didn't pay for the lonliness I've been through...
If you didn't drink a cup of the poison (figure speech of torture) which you watered me...
I am NOT what I am!

I will remain queit because my faithful heart is my gudie...
If you didn't return crying and begging me to take you back...
I am NOT what I am!

I swear I am not challenging!

Finally Asalah's 2006 album released!
The album's title is "Hayati", very poetic song but I didn't really like it...
One of my favorite songs in the album called "Wallahi Ma Tahaddi" (Arabic for I swear I am not challenging).

Song name: Wallah Ma Tahaddi! (I swear I am not challenging!)
Singer: Asalah
Album: Hayati (2006)
Writte by: Hani Abdulkareem
Composed by: Waleed Sa'ad
Arranged by: Kareem Abdulwahab
Translated by: Bashar (me)

I swear I'm not challenging you nor wondering how will you live with out being with me..
I know that you'll need few days to get used to it and forget all about me!

I just feel bad when I see the "I feel sorry about you" look in your eyes!
It's doesn't really suites you!

That's it, you are leaving me and I am accepting this fact..
No body was ever killed by loneliness, I used to be lonely before meeting you!

So what If I felt bad about it?
I am a normal human being with feelings and a heart made of blood and flesh...
That's why I have all rights to be in pain!

No matter how many people in pain you meet; yet you will not find anybody in more pain than mine..
Even If I was dieing and I was longing to you...
I rather to die than letting you see me weak!

That's it, you are leaving me and I am accepting this fact..
No body was ever killed by loneliness, I used to be lonely before meeting you!

That's it, you are leaving me and I am accepting this fact..
No body was ever killed by loneliness, I used to be lonely before meeting you!

I don't care!

The word "Adi" have many meanings in English such as Normal, I don't care, so what? ..Etc released in Asalah's 2005, Personally I consider this song one of the greatest although many people didn't have a chance to listen to it or they had a bad first impression since the music arrangment was very new in the Arab world.

Song name: Adi (I don't care, so what?)

Translated by: Bashar (me)

I don't care if we brake a part...
I don't care If I was wounded...
I don't care if I was forgotten...
I don't care if I was in pain...
I don't care if I was in regret...
I don't care if I was tortured...
I don't care about anything wether it was strange thing or not!

Even the one who I used to be in love with, and I thought that I have no life with out being with him...
It's was a matter of time, we have nothing left between us anymore...
And now I consider him a normal person like everybody else!

I am not afraid of my old memories any more because my upcoming future will make me forget my past...
I don't care If my loved person came closer or left away because nothing anymore makes me surprised!

I don't care if I was in pain...
I don't care if I was in regret...
I don't care if I was tortured...
I don't care about anything wether it was strange thing or not!

I am lying

I just keep listening to this song all the time 24/7, I am using it as my Message ringtone.
I adore it.

Translated by: Bashar (me)

I am lying when I say that I am sleeping well in the night while you are away of me and while you are mad at me!
I didn't sleep for one night; I beg you return to me immediately!
I feel lonely and tortured...
I have no body around me...
I am tired of being patient...
My love, Are you still wondering about me?
Just see me your self why are you asking others about me?
If you found me barely breathing you can walk away again but if you felt sorry about me just return to me.
I will not tell you what's wrong with me; you will know what I am thinking about and what's wrong with me just when you greet me.
If you found me barely breathing you can walk away again but if you felt sorry about me just return to me.

If you looked in front of you

Elissa is known for her romantic songs, her 2006 album "Bastannak" (Waiting for you) finally released.
There is one song that I CAN NOT stop listening to it, it's was kind a like LOVE OF FIRST SIGHT.
The song's name is "Law Basseet Qoddamak" (If you looked in front of you).
Here is my translation.

Lyrics by: I don't know
Translated by: RADIANT GUY (ME)


If you had a look around you…
You will know who truly loves you and who is the girl you always see in your dreams.
Why don't you recognize you?
Why don't you see me?
If you thought about me a bit…
You will feel my love toward you
It's clearly obvious from the way I regard you
It's clearly obvious from the way I talk to you
I really miss you and every part of me missing you too

Days are passing really fast while I am still waiting for you
I am afraid that I die before you realize that I love you
Why don't you recognize you?
Why don't you see me?
If you thought about me a bit…
You will feel my love toward you
It's clearly obvious from the way I regard you
It's clearly obvious from the way I talk to you
I really miss you and every part of me missing you too

Translated by: RADIANT GUY (ME)

I have to collect the broken pieces of my heart, hug my self and walk away.
I have to heal my wound; yes for sure I want to heal my wound.
I want your love to get away of me
I want to get rid of your wound
I have to teach my heart how to be strong, how to forget you and how to start pulsing again.
I used to live just for you and I said that I will spend my whole life time with you.
I used to love you a lot and whenever you go away; I used to wait for you until you comeback.
I used to feel everything differently with you
I used to see you as my whole world
I have to teach my heart how to be strong, how to forget you and how to start pulsing again.

I'm sorry

I loved that song the first day i heared it, but it's wasn't popular until the video clip released, since then it's on the radio all the time!

On the photo you can see her going up stairs when she found out that he is cheating on her.

Anyway because that song truley touched me, i translated it to English ;)

I'm sorry…Find someone else; I will not tolerate it anymore.

You need someone to sacrifice everything to you no matter how much you hurt him.

I've tried to deal with you manytimes, I've been weak and my weakness only made you stronger.

Just tell me until when I'll keep sacrificing and until when I'll keep acting like an angel?


I loved loving you to the edge of love and you never appreciated it; finally I learned from you to stop being faithful for people such as you.


Just see how much I am exhausted of being with you all this time and how much I've been calm and patient with you.

And how much… And how much… And how many "how much" I could say during my life time?
