I can't believe what I am seeing and hearing!

Is it possible that our hearts are finally together?

Promise me that we will live together...

And you will be next to me and my eyes will enjoy you

From now on I will sleep and wake upon your laugh

And I will hug you close and taste your tenderness

I will not live on Earth anymore...

We will live like angels in your heaven!

You are the most beautiful thing in me!

You are everything to me!

When you are between my arms...

I own the whole world!

Your love made me...

A whole new person

I need nothing else...

While standing in front of you!

Touch me for your hands are tender!

Since the day I saw your eyes I felt like a whole new person!

You know what else I am dreaming of?

To live with you a million more years!

All the beautiful words are not enough to describe you

They will not be fair if they begun to describe and talk about you!

I don't need anything else from you...

But to pray with me that I live my days with you!

كلمات الأغنية:

مش قادرة أصدق اللي شايفاه و بسمعه!

معقول خلاص قلبك و قلبي تجمعوا!

احلف كده إني هـ أعيش معاك و تعيش معايا

و تبقى جمبي و عيني بيك يتمتعوا

أنا من النهارده هـ أنام و أقوم على ضحكتك

و أخذك في حضني و أذوق معاك حنيتك

أنا مش ح أعيش عالأرض تاني خلاص كفاية

هـ نعيش خلاص زي الملايكة في جنتك

أنت أحلى حاجة فيا

أنت كل حاجة ليا

لما تبقى في إيديا...بأملك الدنيا فيك

حبك انت خلاني...

أنا بقيت حد تاني...

مافيش حاجة ناقصاني...و أنا قدام عينيك

إلمسني أصل إيديك عليا حنينة

من يوم ما شفت عينيك و أنا ما بقتش أنا

عارف أنا بأحلم بإيه يا حبيبي تاني...

يا رب أعيش جمبك مليون سنة

كل الكلام الحلو ما يكفيش عينيك

دول يظلموك لو يوصفوك و يقولوا فيك

ما بقتش عايزة منك غير حاجة وحدة...

تدعي معايا ربي أعيش أيامي بيك

This is the Arabic version of the song "Tomorrow, a better you a better me" released in 1989 featuring Tevin Campbell, FYI there are several versions of the English song performed by different artists.

In the top is the first released of the English versions

 لطيفة، شيرين، شاكيرا، كاظم الساهر، صابر الرباعي، تامر حسني، أسماء لمنور، أحمد الجميري، أحمد حسين، آكون، الشاب جيلاني، ديانا كرازون، عيسى الكبيسي، فهد الكبيسي، فايز السعيد، هاني متواسي، حسنا زلاغ، حياة الادريسي، مروان خوري، مشاعل، ناصيف زيتون، ريم بنا، صلاح الزدجالي، سعاد ماسي، وعد، ريد ون و كوينسي جونز هم الفنانين المشاركين في أغنية بكرا و هي النسخة العربية من أغنية (غداً، أنت أفضل، أنا أفضل) التي تم إطلاقها في العام 1989 غناء تيفن كامبل، علماً بأنه يوجد أكثر من نسخة باللغة الإنجليزية لنفس الأغنية بعدة فنانين.
تجدون في الأعلى أول إصدار للأغنية بالإنجليزية

اتوقع الحين أغلبكم شفتوا أغنية بكرا على التلفزيون، بس أتوقع ما شفتوا كلمات الأغنية بالعربي خصوصاً إن في ناس من اللي يغنون مادري شنو قاعدين يقولون...انا حضرت حفل إطلاق الأغنية في دبي يوم 11 نوفمبر 2011 و هذا الكليب مع كلمات الأغنية مثل ما كانت مكتوبة في الكتيب اللي كان يتوزع هناك...و قريب راح أحط صور و فيديو من هاليوم
تحت تلاقون كلمات الأغنية بالخط العريض مع ترجمة بالإنجليزية

كامل الأغنية كلمات ماجدة الرومي ما عدا الجزء الإنجليزي و المقطع الأخير اللي كتبه كريم العراقي.

I guess by now most of you watched the music video of Bokra / Tomorrow, but i guess you didn't get the chance to read the lyrics in Arabic since some of the singers pronouncing the words in a weird way...I was in the launching event in Dubai on 11th of Novermber 2011 I will soon post  photos and video from the event...Below is the original text in BOLD with English translation.

The entire song was written by Majida Al Roumi except the English part and the last part which was written by Kareem Al Iraqi.

جاي بكرا نهار جديد

نفرح فيه و يفرح فينا

نزرع الارض مواعيد

حب و امل وين ما مشينا

بكرا تجمعنا الايام

على الخير و ع السلام

يا دنيا سوا سوا سوا

منلون الكون باغانينا

Tomorrow a new day is coming...

Will make us happy and we will make it happy!

We will grow the land with promises...

Love and hope wherever we go

Tomorrow days will bring us together...

In goodness and peace

Together, together, together...

We will colour the universe with our songs

مين قال ما نقدر

نغير وجه الكون

شنوا تقول لو محينا

الظلمة بصبحات اللون

نامن على كل المفارق

تضحك لينا الطرقات

نامن حتى حد ما دايس

دومة فيمن بها الحياه

Who says we can't change...

The face of our world?

Why not erase darkness,

With the sun of the morning

Have faith at every crossroad,

The roads will smile at us

Have faith, wherever we set foot,

The cloud will disappear

نقدر نوصل لحد الشمس

اللي نحتاجه الايمان

الحب و نكران النفس

و صداقة كل الأديان

We can reach the sun

All we need is faith

Love and selflessness

Friendship among all religions

من كل عرق و من كل جنس

صحي ضميرك يا انسان

بكرا الذمة الحلوة تعود

و نزرع كل الارض ورود

Among every race and creed,

Awaken your conscience as a human being

Tomorrow the good conscience will return

And we'll plant the land with roses

بكرا يومك يا بلادي

نملى الفرحة في كل مكان

نبني مستقبل لاولادي

يعيشوا في خير و سلام

Tomorrow is your day my country

We'll spread joy everywhere

We'll build a future for our children

To live in goodness and peace

If we try we can fly

Whole 'nother place

And we're never never never

Too far from tomorrow, today

لو حاولنا...نقدر نطير

لمكان آخر

و نحن أبداً أبداً

و اليوم...لسنا بعاد من بكرا

كلما صباح يهدينا

ورد و شمس نهار جديد

صوب الجائر يودينا

مهما بكرا يكون بعيد

في أحلام بتناجينا

وفي ضحكة بتناجينا

و الأحزان نقدر بأيدينا

نغيرها و تتحول عيد

Whenever a morning gifts us,

With roses, the sun and a new day

Taking us towards the future...

No matter how far tomorrow seems

Our dreams keep us going

Our laughter bids us

By ourselves we can turn sorrow into "Eid" joy

نحن صوت الخير شمس الايام

نحن يوم جديد راية سلام

نحن وآيات الحب و روح الأنغام

نحن الف ليلة من شرق الأحلام

"We are the voice of goodness and  the sun of days

We are a new day and flag of peace

We are the flute of love and soul of music

We are a thousand nights from the rise of dreams"

مستنينا جناح الهوا

بكرا نكون أحلى سوا

فتاح ابواب الأمل

ليل العتمة انتهى

"The wings of love await us

Tomorrow we are better together

Open the door of hope

The night of darkness is ended"

يا شمس يا شموسة

يا حلوة يا عروسة

نتمنى  بكرا السلام

تنور علينا شموسه

و انا و أصحابي الحلوين

احمد و عيسى و موسى

و أطفال العالم كله

خد السلام نبوسه

Dear sunny sun

You are beautiful as a bride

We hope for peace tomorrow

With it suns shining on us

 me and my sweet friends

Mohammed, Jesus and Moses

And all of the children of the world

Will kiss the cheque of peace!

Amazing songs

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.

Song name: Hakhally Bali Min Nafsi (ح أخلي بالي من نفسي) I will take care of my self
Album: Ba'ada Al Baal - بعدا عالبال
Year of production: 2009
Song genre: Oriental
Tempo: Slow
Singer: Fadhel Shaker (Fadel Shaker) - فضل شاكر
Lyrics by: Hani Abdulkareem - هاني عبدالكريم
Composed by: Ahmad Al Harmi - أحمد الهرمي
Arranged by: Essam Al Sharaity - عصام الشرايطي
Translated by: RADIANT GUY (ME)

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!

And here is another beautiful song :S


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.

Song name: Ma Etgebsh Serti (ما تجيبش سيرتي) Don't talk about me or Don't talk about me behind my back
Album: Ahla Min Al Kalam (أحلى من الكلام) More beautiful than a speech
Year of production: 2007
Song genre: Oriental
Tempo: Slow
Singer: Mai Kassab - مي كساب
Lyrics by: Sameer Zaki - سمير زكي
Composed by: Mahmood Khayyami - محمود خيامي
Arranged by: Ahmad Adil - أحمد عادل
Translated by: RADIANT GUY (ME)

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'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

Try

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 बे।

Song name: Hawil (Try) حاول

Translated by: RADIANT GUY (ME)

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.


Song name: Dhaqat Beek (Whenever you are depressed) ضاقت بيك
Album: Al Ghorba الغربة 2007

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

I hated you!

OK, that's one of the hardest songs I ever translated, it's might sound stupid or meaningless because it's was translated, and I believe that poetry loses it's power when it's translated.

Anyway this song was a massive hit in the year 1999 and Latifa (the performer) won many awards because of it, prince of Dubai Mohammed Bin Rashed Al Maktoom wrote a reply to the lyrics and dedicated it to Latifa!

The song about when you love someone and later you find out that he was acting that he or she loves you.

A mix of Rock guitar with Arab instrument "Mizwid", just amazing.

There was a rumor that this song based on a true story (Obviously a very bad love story) Latifa been through.

Song name: Kerihtak (I hated you) - كرهتك

Album: Wadeh (In the Arab world) aka Inchallah (Internationally) 1999 - واضح أو انشالله

Arranged by: Raymond GimenesTranslated by: RADIANT GUY (ME)

Your love is false, you have no conscience...

Yes I loved you, I adored you and now I hated you!

I hated you because you are just a mask and a play starring with agony!

You are a lie in the shape of an angel...

For many years and nights my life was devoted to you...

I am writing the story of your love with my tears while you are wiping it off with a pen's stroke!

You successfully won the bet of your friends...

And my love story became a joke which you shared with them...

Go and laugh with them until the morning and may God help me!

You've entered my life by a mistake...

You are just a selfish person and that's why I hated you without compromise...

Oh God, you are the compensation and the judge!

Your love is false, you have no conscience...

Yes I loved you, I adored you and now I hated you!

I hated you because you are just a mask and a play starring with agony!

Latifa perorming "Mawwal"

غرامك مزيف ضمير عدم...

هويتك...عشقتك...كرهتك ...نعم

كرهتك لأنك مجرد قناع و كم مسرحية بطلها الألم

يا كذبة يا انت بهيئة ملاك...

سنين و ليالي حياتي فداك...

انا اكتب بدمعي حكاية هواك و انت بتمحىي بجرة قلم!

رهان أصدقائك كسبته بنجاح...

و أسراري صارت حكاية و مزاح...

روح إضحك معاهم حتى الصباح و آه من الملامة و آه من الندم

لأنك دخلت بحياتي غلط...

و مين انت إلا أناني فقط...

كرهتك و ما عندي أي حل وسط و يا رب انت العوض و الحكم

تؤدي لطيفة موال الصالحي

A crying door!

Music video of the song is very sad, about when someone lose his mother.
It begins with a different song, going out with his wife...But later it becomes dramatic and melancholic :(

Note. I wanted to add the full translation of this song but I don't really get every single Lebanese word :+

Singer: "Assi Al Hellani"
Song: "Bab Am Yibki"

She left and took my happiness with her...
Even didn't leave me one smile...
The stairs were chocked and the door was crying!
Have you ever seen a crying door?

Don't test my tolerance!

Nora didn't release a new album for so long...I watched the music video of the song, very dramatic...The guy was treating her badly, he locked her in the house and leave...She couldn't get out of the house so she burn the house while she is in!
Currently I am addicted to two songs in the album, the other one called "Athib Qalbi" (Translation: Torture my heart).

Here is the music video with English subtitles uploaded on Google video by me:

Don't test my tolerance...Because everything have a limit including tolerance
I can control my heart...Listen to me carefully:
I can tolerate your betrayal...
I can tolerate your absence...
But I can't tolerate being wounded by you!
La Laaa La La Laaaaa
La Laaa La La Laaaaa

My heart is a book of words, people such as you have a hard time to read it...
Not everyone with a typical vision can really see, you should feel it...
My nights are sleepless...
My eyelashes are wet with tears...
How many times shall I keep repeating that?
I am bored of it!
La Laaa La La Laaaaa
La Laaa La La Laaaaa


Arabic script:

لا تختبر صبري...حتى الصبر له حد
قلبي رهن امري...اسمع كلامي جد
أقوى على غدرك...
أقوى على هجرك...
إلا على جرحي كل الصبر ينهد!
لا لااااا لا لا لاااااااا
لا لااااا لا لا لاااااااا

قلبي كتب و حروف...اللي مثلك صعب يقراه
ما كل بصير يشوف ...حس انت بس معناه
ليلي سهر ع طول...
طرف الرمش مبلول...
شعد بعد و اقول؟
مليت انا من العد!
لا لااااا لا لا لاااااااا
لا لااااا لا لا لاااااااا

I saw him with my own eyes

The music video of the song was released on 30th of January 2007, I loved the stage it looks gigantic :D
The song "Shofto Be Aini" (Translation: I saw him with my own eyes) released in Latifa's latest album and this is my first review of the album's songs.
If you like Latifa's hit "Ma Etrohsh Ba'ed" (Translation: Don't go away) then definitely you will love this song!
I just uploaded the music video on Google video and added English subtitles on it (VIVA GOOGLE!).I never done that before and I am excited about it ;)
The music video was directed by Said Al Marouq, it looks futuristic; you can notice it from Latifa's hair, her dress and the people around her who were acting as robots.

I will write the lyrics in both Arabic script with English translation, some people requested it.
Note. you can use the photo above as a 1280*768 wallpaper, if you need it in 1024*768 & 800*600 check the wallpapers section in Latifa's official site (Latifaonline.net)

شفته بعيني ما حدش قالي...

ده بيحصله اللي بيحصلي...

مشغول باله و فكره تملي و كل عيونه كلام...

I saw him with my eyes...

He feels the way I feel...

He is in love and I can see that through his eyes...

قلبي دليلي و قالي ده كله...

شكلي ح اروحله و ابوحله و اقوله

قلبي يا عيني على اللي حصله...بيعد الايام

My heart told me all about it...

I think I will go to him and reveal my love to him...

He have been counting the days until we meet again

و انا قد هواه ده كله...

ده غرامي اكيد واصله...

لو جاني خلاص ح اقوله مش ح اخبي عليه

I love him as much as he love me...

I am definite that my love have reached him by now

If he came to me, I will tell him; I will not hide my feelings anymore

قولي بحبك تحلى الدنيا...

عايشة غرامك ثانية بثانية...

سامعة كلامك قول حاجة ثانية...

بحبك قولها كمان

Tell me "I love you" and make my life more beautiful...

I love you every second of my life...

I can hear you, tell me I love you one more time

انا بحلم و الا بجد حقيقة؟!

قلبي تاعبني شوفله طريقة...

عايزة اوصلك انا في دقيقة...في قلبك ليا مكان

Am I dreaming or is this a reality?

My heart is longing to you find a way to comfort it...

I want to reach you in a minute...

Is there enough room for me in your heart?

During your absence

This is kinda old song of Latifa, released in the year 1995...At the time It was one of my favorite songs in her 1995, it's melancholic song with slow Sharqi (Oriental) rhythm.

During your absence...
Every single day seems endless...
I feel that the time is barely moving...
The atmosphere around me is cold and a fire is burning my heart inside out!
During your absence, I am bored of my self!
I can't indoor it nor tolerate it anymore!

During your absence...
All people looks weird to me...
Nobody can understand me even my close friends
I've never imagined my self being in that situation until now when I had to deal with it for real!
During your absence, I am bored of my self!
I can't indoor it nor tolerate it anymore!

I am barely a life!
I feel like a featherless bird!
My longing to you is driving me crazy and I can do nothing to stop it!
I've never imagined my self being in that situation until now when I had to deal with it for real!
During your absence, I am bored of my self!
I can't indoor it nor tolerate it anymore!

It's the first time

Very romantic song by Diana Haddad, I think I am the only one who loved this song ever!

Here is the Music video



It's the first time I felt that I am a live and in love
When I noticed you
I saw you far away and the strangest thing happened...My own soul flew all the way to you!
My beloved, I wish my you can hear my voice; when will we meet?
Come to me
All my life and dreams belongs to you...
Come to me

It's the first time I felt lost, I even don't know whether I am still standing here or over there!
I am dieing to hear a voice telling me that I belong to you..

My feelings are above my capability and beyond my fantasy
If your heart was in the end of the longest road ever; I will walk the road until I reach the end!
My beloved, I wish you can hear my voice; when will we meet?
Come to me
All my life and dreams belongs to you...
Come to me

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

Song Genre: Tango
Singer: Latifa

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?
