If your heart was a stone hard, it could relent...
Because of the emotions, love and tenderness I gave you...
I forgot all about you and toughen up...
Why you are back now?
It's late!

Why are you back?
Why you are saying "I love you" to me?
My love to you is dead!
Look in to my eyes...
I am not the same person you used to know...
I even forgot who are you!

Comeback and remind me of you...
Try to wake me up, I might recall who are you...
Return to the way you used to be when we first met...
Return and tolerate me when I start blaming you about it...
Why are you back?

You've lose many years away of me and now you are asking me why?
How could you forgot about me and now you are back?
I am afraid that you will break my heart again...
Why are you back?


لو قلبك حجر كان حن و لان
ع قد ما اعطيتك عاطفه و حب و حنان
نسيتك انا و قسيت عيوني عليك
لوين راجع بعد ما فات الآوان

راجع تسأل ع مين
تقول بحبك لمين
نام الهوى فيا
اتطلع في عينيا
ما عاد انا هي
و نسيتك انت مين

ارجع ذكرني خليني ادور ع حالي فيك
ارجع فيقني وعيني يمكن انا بلاقيك
ارجع من الاول لما كنا عشاق
ارجع و اتحمل صوت العتب لو فاق
راجع تسأل ع مين؟

سنين ضيعتها و جايني تقلي تركتيني كيف
كيف يا قاسي ناسيني و راجع لعندي كيف
بخاف ع قلبي ما تجرحه من جديد
بخاف من حبي قصة عذابي يعيد
راجع تسأل ع مين؟

My heart betrayed me!ٍ

The song's name is "Sawwaha Qalbi" and the literal translation of it is (My heart did it) but it's meaningless in English.
It's a folk Khaleeji song by Asalah, released in her 2007 Khaleeji album :D
I almost love every single song in the album, very deep lyrics and power voice.
There is noway to translate the full song but I tried to translate a part of it.
Asalah is talking about her heart as if it's a real independent entity :+

Song name: Sawwaha Qalbi (My heart did it or My heart betrayed me)

My heart betrayed me...
He loved you and didn't obey my orders although I demanded him not to!
Apparently he wants to be close to you and that's why he quit everybody including his owner!
Please look after my heart when it's beside you, greet him with love day and night

ROTANA...GIVE US A BREAK!

Summer is the season of music albums, everybody is releasing a new album except me :+
One after one, week after week...I don't have a time to listen for each one of the albums fairly!

Najwa Karam, then Angham, Asalah and Saber Rebai!
All these albums released in one month by Rotana!
I really need sometime to listen to each one of them but they just won't let me :O

I would eat that If I COULD!

I think I am no longer a DSLR dummy :D
Last weekend (Wed. 5th of July 2007) I went for a long outdoor photo session trying to take long exposures since I don't have models :(
I ended up with some great shots, until then I really loved my old point and shot (Panasonic FX-01) and I hated my DSLR (Nikon D80) but now I hate my point and shot and love my DSLR more!

I was amazed with the results :D
The first photos weren't that great because the location was crowded with curious people and I was nervous :+

Currently I am listening to a very sad song by "Saber Al Reba'ei" (صابر الرباعي) called "Dhaqat Beek" (ضاقت بيك) from his 2007 album, it's really sad song.

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

Song genre: Rock/Arab pop/FolkloreSinger: Latifa - لطيفة

Lyrics by: Mansoor Al Shadi - منصور الشادي

Composed by: Salah Al Sharnoobi - صلاح الشرنوبي

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

OUCH!

OUCH!

My birthday is coming soon, I thought to get my self an early birthday gift :D
So I bought a Nikon DSLR...Clearly I've been a good boy LOL
Yaaaaaaai I am so excited I can't thank my self enough LOL
I guess I am not going to sleep, eat, work, shower, breath, tan and pick my nose for the next 6 months LOL
I'll spend my time figuring out how to take photos using it, I am a DSLR dummy *Hush*
Photo above was taken by my Point and Shot, the moment I entered my room :D

I can see that it's out of focus and I really should clean my mirror LOL

But give me a break, it's my first shot using my new DSLR...WoooHooo :D
I think I will never stop smiling LOL
Still didn't read the manual, I have no clue how to force the flash off, and how to get a better focus :\
I guess I will spend days reading about it and executing :\

Here is the original size

P.S. The dentist said that this is the only bad tooth I have, he thinks I have a great smile....And I think he was drunk LOL
BTW kids...Drinking is bad too, you need those brain cells :Pp~
Well...I guess It's got out of control :(

Currently I am in the "wise" mood...That;'s why I decided to share something with kids; I wonder If I am a good influence :+

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 ;)

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

Introduce me to her!

That song reminds me of 2003 Summer time, I listened (and still listening) to it probably 10 zillion times...There is a music instrument which sounds like a violin but it's not a violin, it's really amazing. I think it's one of the best songs by Angham, I love her songs and style but there are some songs that you love more than others.
A remix of the song released in the CD, didn't released in the cassette.


Song name: Arrafha Beya (Arabic script: عرفها بيا) - Introduce me to her!

Why did you remain silent?

Tell her!

What's going on between us!

Why you didn't tell her about our love story?

Introduce me to her!

Answer me!

Or let me tell her everything and she will be the judge!

Deny my existence to her!
Swear to her that our love is over!
Fool her and tell her...
That your life belongs to her...
That her smile cured your wounds!

Tell her everything you told me!
Every single word you told me!
That you truly feel comfortable with me...
That you've owned the world and the universe the day you knew her!
That's you will belong to nobody except her!

Introduce me to her!

Answer me!

Or let me tell her everything and she will be the judge!


سكت ليه ما تقولها...
فينا بينا ايه...
قصة هوانا و حبنا....خبيتها ليه؟
عرفها بيا...
جاوب عليا....
يا تسيبني اقول القصة و تشهدها هي!

انكر وجودي احلف لها...
ان الغرام بينا انتهى
اضحك عليها و قولها
ان اللي جاي في حياتك لعيوننا هي
ان اللي داوا اهاتك ضحكتها هي

احكيلها زي ما قلتلي
و كل كلمة وصفتلي
انك حقيقي ارتحتلي
انك ملك الكون و الدنيا ديا
ان استحالة تكون غير بس ليا

عرفها بيا...
جاوب عليا....
يا تسيبني اقول القصة و تشهدها هي!
