In The Past Few Days

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" or "Tectonic", it even has it's own dance!
This is the first Arab Tektonik song, Latifa mixed it with Arab instruments.

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
من غيرى أنا بس ليه؟
معقول يرضاها ليّا يجى يوم الليل عليا
ومايبقاش جانبى فيه؟!
لو فى حاجة ناويها لية ماقالش عليها؟
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؟

عامل أية ودلوقتى فينه؟
لو شافنى فى يوم بعينه
يومها ما أصعب عليه
قلبى من بعده خايف
أصلة مجرب وعارف
البعد بيعمل أيه
لو فى حاجة ناويها لية ماقالش عليها؟
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؟

Never!

One of my very favorite songs of all times!
I think no matter how much I say that I love it, it's will never be enough to express the way I love it!
It's this kind of songs which you love everything about, Music, Lyrics, Arrangment and the singer performance.

The song released in the year 2002 (Arabic), I just found out that there is a Turkish version of it released in the year 2004...The Turkish song called "Hadi Git" and it was performed by "Seden Gürel".
It's happens a lot over her, sometimes Turkish use Arabic songs and sometimes Arabs takes Turkish music...Sometimes It's legally others not (It's was legal this time).


Song name: Benoub (Never)
Singer: Najwa Karam
Album: Tahamooni (2002)
Writer and composer: Marwan Khoury
Arranged by: Mohammed Mustafa
Translated by: Me

Never ever go away from me...
My eyes don't sleep because my beloved is coming tonight...
I wish we could find a medicine to cure my agony...
Time seems to pass at a slow pace with our date getting closer.

The evening wind as a signal of separation, It was blowing north while I sat by myself, Suddenly a warm breeze blew and reminded me of my beloved's smile!
O you sadness standing ready to stab my heart with your spears!

The night of mourning is over...
My beloved is coming back to live in (fill) my heart...
Life passes in an eye glance...
O darling, where are you? Come back to save my love!

It's me again, listen to me till the end..

My longing to you is increasing every second and I can't stand it anymore!

That's why I walked the long way to you, while I was lying to my self and hoping that you'll take me back; although I knew it's impossible!

I know that we already decided to break a part, I know that we reached the end...
Believe me, my heart is burning inside out; forgive me because I made you worried...
I have no body in the whole world to return to except you...
you are the owner of my dreams...
Your love made lost and wonder!
Our ex-love wasn't a tiny love!

That's it?
You decided to go away?
And I can do nothing to stop it...
That's it?
Nothing left to me anymore...
Please be merciful with me.
I need you with me tonight, reach me with your hand; help me to stabilize my steps...
Collect the broken pieces of me....Give me my treatment then you can leave!

Happy anniversary

Amazing song by Angham...It's kinda old/classic Khaleeji song yet it's still great, I had a hard time to translate it; I said it million times and i will say it one more time, the Arab poetry loses the power during translation. It's always better to read the original one.
This song is a great example of Khaleeji Classic Songs (Khaleeji refers to the Music in Khaleeji Arab Dialect which it's spoken in Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, Qatar, Arab Emirates and Oman).
F.Y.I. Angham is Egyptian singer.


Song name: Eidina Mobarak - عيدنا مبارك (Happy anniversary)
Album: Khalli Bokra Li Bokra (1998)
Singer: Angham - انغام (Arabic for melodies)
Written by: Turki Bin Abdulrahman
Composed by: Tariq Mohammed (Rumors says that he is the writer using a nick name since he is a prince)


The exact spot; where we always met; every year during a starry night such as this one...
To celebrate the "first day we met" anniversary...Our love anniversary...

The exact stars...
The exact moon...
Even it's the exact air breeze which it's used to dally the trees leafs...
Everything like the way it's always been...
But we are not anymore...
Destiny brake us a part...
Everything is gone between us exept the echo of our song...

Happy anniversary my love...
Happy anniversary my love.. .
Happy anniversary my love....

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!

Stairs to heaven

She always said "Tell others about your problems/pain so they don't envy you for a perfect life that you don't really have" .

Yesterday 8th of July 2006, my grandmother passed away (my mother's mother), just four weeks after my uncle's death; my mother found out late night and she was crying until today, my brother and I were staying with her for a while, until it's was 3 AM so I went to bed because I had to wake up early for work but I didn't sleep, I was rolling over in bed until morning then I fall a sleep like there is no tomorrow and I skipped work.
My grandmother been through a lot, her husband (unfortunately the law call him my grandfather) used to hit her and to humiliate her but she didn't care because of her children; when they became older she walked away. And later he got married again to a "SLUT" who treated my late uncle (passed away 4 weeks ago when he was 45 years old only) and my youngest aunt very bad.
May their souls rest in peace, probably they already meet each others, he is her only son; they didn't see each others since late 1980s.

Photo is dedicated to my grandmother Zahrah (Arabic for "A flower") 19XX - 2006, my uncle, my friend's mother and all our beloved decedents.

Absolute DESPAIR (read me)


Absolute DESPAIR (read me)

We've been told that there is a sunrise after each sunset, but it's seems we always miss it!
We've been told that there is a light in the end of the tunnel, but we've never reached it!
We've been told when a door closes a window open, BULL SHI*!


My uncle (my mother's little brother) passed away yesterday, he is been through a lot during his short life time…Been treated badly by his step mother, his father, step brothers, step sisters, wife, his other brothers and sisters except my mother!
He is a man with a special need (disabled physically not mentally), no body wanted to be around him, everybody was rejecting him. Been living in our house for the last two years but since the last few months he started to be lonely, sometimes he seemed that he was pushing away some kind of invisible bad people or maybe Devils. (Sent by his witch step mother, YES a witch, it's mentioned in the holly book and I do believe in it although no one saw a ghost and that's only because the science couldn't invent the right equipments yet and probably never will).
Anyway the last two months or so, he preferred to be lonely, he just started to obviate us including my mother (his sister) whose been the closest person in the whole world to him…he was ignoring us and locking his room's door.
We didn't found out that he passed away until few days later when my father was watering the trees and he noticed a weird smell!

Wednesday 7th of June 2006, is the worst day in our life, my mother almost had a nerve breakdown, she can't stop crying since then, she is blaming her self and she thinks that she treated him badly, my sister and brothers seemed hopeless, my father blood sugar increased (diabetes).

Step brother and his wife, two step sister, his father and his step mother (most of them I've never saw in my life) came to our house when they found out trying to tear up like they really care!
Step brother and step sister were disrespecting my mother and that's when I lost my mind and kicked them all out, my (so called) grand father is over 70 maybe 80 or 20010 (who cares?!) was swearing, I told him shut up or I would slap you on the face!
They were fighting us in our own house!
My father, my brother and I were kicking them all out while my sister and mother were trying to prevent us (They didn't want us to perpetrate a crime and lose our furure on bunch os bu** holes), I was extremely furious...Screaming get out of here because rubbish such as you belongs to the street you whor*s!
I mentioned many words I've never did before.

As soon as they all gone, my heart almost popped out of my chest, my body was shaking, I couldn't breath, my vision was gone partially (but never told my family about that and thank god they didn't notice I didn't want to cause more depression), and my legs were paralyzed.
I always have that condition when ever I am really mad or really depressed that's why I try to control my self not to reach that point by making jokes of everything and make others laugh if I could (perhaps some flickrists noticed that through my comments and/or photos descriptions).

No one of my family including my mother (his closest relative) went to the memorial ceremony because we didn't want to make a big scene with the others and we wanted him to rest in peace (at least eventually) :(

Uncle "Mossa" 1961 - 2006 (Arabic for Moses)..
May God mercies him and may his soul rest in peace

Arranged by: Jean-Marie Riachi
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.

Chorus:

He came to you admitting his fault and apologizing from the bottom of his heart

He is truly missing you; he came back because he really needs to be with you.


Asalah:

No please, go back and tell him I refused.

This time I am truly tired.

I will not return to him even if he dropped dead.

I swear I will not return to him.


Chorus:

Just try to stand him abit.

Why you want to broke up with him?

Just calm down Asalah and pray for God to show him the right way.


Asalah:

I used to be patient and I always used to say:

"I have to accept my bad luck in love and my destiny"And who says "Be patient to get what you want", I swear if he knew me; he would take his word back.

Even if I became weak and sick; I'll still act proud until I became strong and walk away of him.

So what if I became lonely? Since when anybody stood beside me to support me and wipe my tears?

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.

Is that really you?!

I didn't recognize you!
It's the first time I see you through my eyes…I used to see you through my heart!

It's the first time my hands doesn't shake, while you are sitting beside me!

It's the first time I feel that I am not flying, while I am with you!

It's the first time I notice that you are way smaller than the great "sky dome" of my dreams!

It's the first time I notice that you are just a typical human being not an angel!

It's the first time I notice that I lost my whole lifetime with you!

Is that really you?
I can't believe it!

Is that really you?!
Is that really you?!
