with English Lyrics وردة الجزائرية / مستحيل
كلمات مأمون الشناوي ولحن محمد الموجي
Http://Tamtammaghreb.free.fr
Impossible, impossible, even if you can achieve the impossible can my wounds be so shallow or my blood and tears as cheap as water? Is my suffering so negligible? after what you have done to me? I miss you? Oh! You imagine ! that too is impossible? All I wished for was to spend my days sleeping and dreaming, held in your arms, and enjoying passion and affection. I waited for you with my affection. my fears, my hopes and despair for I used to love you so profoundly that I myself could not understand it.
I would hear your knock upon the door even before you reached the door! And the ecstasy you brought to me lifted me skywards ... until the day clouds obscured the sky.
You were mine .. I was yours ... but we lost each other through our misdeeds. You were my life, my soul, but you made me deranged with what you did and, after what you have done, you expect me to miss you! That's in your imagination, it's even impossible ... You wish to be pardoned and weep because of your unfaithfulness?
Yet why do you weep? You have the nerve to do so and still blame me? For the first time do I see cruelty weep. Yet you speak of injustice after what you have done to me ? Never did I hear injustice complain! When jealous I heard many words; when angry you called out to me and in ecstasy my heart took off. You were mine... I was yours... but we lost each other through our misdeeds. Can my wounds be so shallow or my blood and tears as cheap as water? Is my suffering so negligible after what you have done to me ?
That's impossible ... even were you able to achieve the impossible ...

We will return one day : Sanarja3ou Yawman by Fairuz w/English Subtitles
A Song by Fairuz/Rahbani Brothers - to all of the Lebanese People scattered throughout the World...
Lyrics translated by Mashriq.com
We shall return to our village one day
and drown in the warmth of hope
we shall return
though time passes by
and distances grow between us.
O heart don't drop wearied
on the path of our return
how it wounds our pride
that birds tomorrow will return
while we are still here.
There are hills
sleeping and waking on our pledge
and people who love
their days comprised of waiting
and nostalgic songs
places where willows fill the eye
Bending over the water
while afternoons in their shade
drink in the perfume of peace.
We shall return
the nightingale told me
when we met on a hill
that nightingales still
live there on our dreams
and that among the yearning hills
and people there is a place for us
0 heart then
how long has the wind scattered us.
Come, we shall return
let us return.

بكتب اسمك يا حبيبي - فيروز Bektob esmak ya habibi (I Write your name, my beloved) - Fairouz
I'm writing your name my darling
On the old poplar
You're writing my name my darling
In the sand on the path
And tomorrow it will rain
On the wounded stories
Your name will remain my darling
And my name will be erased
I talk about you my darling
To my the people in the neighborhood
You talk about me my darling
To a spring of water
And when they burn the midnight oil
Beneath the lamps of the evening
They talk about you my darling
And I am forgotten
And you gave me a flower
I showed it to my friends
I put it in my book
I planted it on my pillow
I gave you a vase
You didn't take care of it
And you weren't concerned with it
And so the gift went to waste
And you tell me you love me
You don't know how much
The last 2 lines should me:
If you really love me
then why ?
please .. why?

Tabbouleh Song
Tabbouleh
Tabbouleh Tabbouleh
Makes me shake
shake shake my booty
Eat it with lots of falafal
Eat it on top of a camel
Dance.
Cuz it's the only beat
That's gonna stick in your head
and stick in your teeth
You gotta push push
Push the tush
When you eat an Arab salad
that is not fettoush
It's a hearty party
tasting yum yum
Taste that parsley
Shake your bum bum
In the club.
Don't need a shorty/cutie
All I need to take is
a bowl of tabbouleh
No we don't need hip hop
house or trance
Cuz this song about a salad
make you shake your pants
No we don't need groovy
techno techno
Just tabbouleh
in your head hole
Don't need bouncers
or velvet rope
I hope by now you
get the point
Don't need glow stick
or Red Bull vodka
You just gotta shake
where you make the kaka
First you take parsley from your sister
Chop it off like hand of shoplifter
Then take a tomato and dice it
don't forget to add all the spices
Then you take a half cup of burghul
Oh my God, it's gone taste so good
Yes this recipe is the bomb but
it tastes best when it's made by Mamma
In Lebanon
they eat it with coffee
In Libya
eat it with Quadafi
Jordan, Iraq
Bahrain, Saudi
Everybody love
the tabbouleh
In Syria
they eat it the fastest
and make sure to
shake shake Damascus
Them in Yemen
lemon the food-y
And Africa they
move move Djibouti
Tabbouleh
I hope I will finish
It to me is like
Popeye's spinach
but instead of getting
muscles in both arms
I get a moving groove
in my buttocks
Met a girl
She was a cutie
She said she'd
make me tabbouleh
But she made it
without the tomatoes
So I had to tell her
See you later

For the dead see in Jordan
يا نبض الضفة لا تهدأ
Pulse of the West Bank dont calm down
أعلنها ثورة
Declare it a revolution
حطم قيدك
Break your shackles
إجعل لحمك
Make your flesh
جسر العودة
The bridge of returning
فليمسي وطني حرا

فليرحل محتلي فليرحل
My Occupier should leave
فليمسي وطني حرا
My Homeland should be free
فليرحل محتلي
My Occupier should leave

Ensemble Ibn Arabi - Sufi Music : Je T´Aaime De Deux Amours (My Love for You Is Twofold)
عرفت الهوى
I knew love
مذ عرفت هواك
Since I knew your love
واغلقت قلبي
And I locked my heart
عمن عداك
To anyone but you
وقمت اناجيك
and I confided in you
يامن تري
You who can see
خفايا القلوب
What's hidden in the hearts
ولست اراك
and I cannot see you
احبك حبين
I love you two loves ;
حب الهوى
a love for the sake of love
وحبا لانك اهل لذاك
and a love because you are worthy of it
فاما الذي هو حب الهوى
as for the love for the sake of love;
فشغلي بذكرك عمن سواك
It is about having my mind busy with you
and no one else
واما الذي انت اهل له
and as for the love that you deserve
فلست ارى الكون حتى اراك
I cannot even see the Universe without seeing you
فلا الحمد في ذا وذاك لي
so the gratitude for this and that is not to me
ولكن لك الحمد في ذا وذاك
but to you is the praise for all this and that
ادم ذكري من اهوى
Keep the memory of whom I love
ولو بمنامي
even if in my dream
فان احاديث الحبيب
for the conversation of the beloved
مدامي
is my wine
وانها بطيف منامي
and she is in the shadow of my sleep
ليشهد سمعي من احب
so that my hearing would witness whom I love
بروحي من اتلفت روحي
بحبها
I give my life to her
whose love with which
I ruined my soul
فحان حمامي
so my death arrived
قبل يوم حمامي
long before the day my death
ولم يبق الحب مني
and love didnt leave of me
الا حزني
except my sadness
و كابتي
and my depression
وفرط سقامي
and too much illness
لينجو خلي
so that my lover
من هوائي بنفسه
would save himself from my love
سليما
and be safe
ويا نفس اذهبي
and Oh Soul..Leave...
بالسلام
in Peace ....

عبد المجيد عبد الله - ما كان الفراق اختياري
Monday, February 1, 2010
إرحل - Leave
إرحل.. قالوا لي
Leave, They said to me
جند أتوا من بعيد
دخلوا بيتي
They came into my home..
قتلوا ولدي
They killed my son..
They raped my wife...
إغتصبوا امرأتي
قالوا إرحل..
They aid : Leave!
حفروا في الوجه مغارة
They engraved a cave in my face
مرّوا على جسدي
They ran over my body
They planted a bullet in my heart
زرعوا في القلب رصاصة
نصبوا لي الخيمة
They installed a tent for me
قلت سأبقى مارداً جرحاً يعانق تربتي
I said I will stay , a giant wound embracing my soil
و طرقت باب أمتي
and I knocked on the doors of my nation
وكانت نائمة
and it was sleeping
and i was left alone
while my nation was dreaming
و بقيت وحدي
وأمتي تحلم
دخلوا وأمتي تحلم
They came in .. while my nation was dreaming
قالوا إرحل..
They said : Leave!!
هذه بلادي واعلموا أن الصغار
This is my country and you better know that the small ones
from the cycle of dreams will own the decision
من دورة الأحلام تمتلك القرار
from the prisons of the night it grabs the daylight
and move like storms

Dalida - Salma Ya Salama
In the wide world
and it's many countries
I went around and around
and when it called me;
my first love..
i left everything
and i came
and i came
and in his embace I threw myself
and i sang
safe ..
safely
oh how sweet
we left
and we came back
safely
love is still pure
and the weather is still warm
and there is still
a moon
and after the sunset
we get together in a boat
and we stay up all night
and sing all of us together
there is a tree
in a garden
it has a sign on it
i have been thinking a lot about it
and question so often
i wonder if it exists
and is my heart engraved in it
yes
it does exist
and my heart is engraved in it
safe ..
safely
oh how sweet
we left
and we came back
safely

حبيبي

My beloved
