one more song

البارحة نوم في المنام ماياني ...... عيني سهيره مرقدي مليته

هب الغريبي رما التفاح بأوراقه ......العين تبجي على المحبوب بفراقه

هب الغريبي رماني فوق دجاتهم ...... ومدري من الله ولا ادري من بنيته

يا الموج يا الموج يا سمره سبتيني ....... وأنتي سبب علتي يا الموج داويني

حي الذي زار عيني حي الذي جاني ...... وحي الذي عان بدي النوم سلاني

سلمولي + الاياهل الهوى

i got them from this book:

ياجر قلبي is also here:

مفتون قلبي

from this one:

ياجر قلبي

searched lyrics from the net.

:)

سلمولي

this is one of the songs that i loved since i was a kid, it reminds me of the old cassette tapes i had of firqat el tilvizion. i was not fascinated witht the lyrics at that time, but i loved the music and its rythmic tunes.. and also how they are dressed. as for those 2 videos, i always knew the first one, but now i guess i like the second video more.

enjoy what is lovely..

Abdullah Futhala

listen to the lovely song:

http://www.khamoosh.com/download.php?action=lsn&id=4150

ياجر قلبي

ياجر قلبي جر لدن الغصوني وغصون سدر جره السيل جرا
واهله من اول بالورق يورقوني على غدير تحته الماء يقرا
على الذي مشيه تخط بهوني والعصر من بين الفريقين مرا
لا والله اللي بالهوى هوجروني هجر به الحيلات عيت تسرا
لا مبعد عنهم و لا قربوني ولا عايف منهم ولاني مورا
واكثر عذاب القلب يوم سنوحوني بيح بصبري لو بغيت اتدرا
لا ضاق صدري قمت اباري الظعوني كني غرير بالدلوهة مضرا
وقبلي عليه اشفق وتبكي عيوني والحال من ود الحبيب تبرا
يا عزتالي من تفرق شطوني يعزا لي ارمي بالسلب واتعرا
ان مت فى خد بعيد انقلوني على هدي الزمل مشيه تدرا
ان مت فى دافي حشاه ادفنوني فى مستكن الروح مهوب برا
بين النهود وقد روس القروني عن الهبايب مستكن مذرا
ياليتهم بالحب ما ولعوني كان ابعدوا عني بخير وشرا
والا انهم يوم انهم ولعوني خلوني اقضي عازتي واتدرا
وياليتهم فى الدرب ما واجهوني وياليتهم ما زادوا الحر حرا
وياليتهم عن حاجتي سايلوني يوم اني اقعد عندهم واتحرا
وياليتهم من زادهم اطعموني انا على زاد اليتيم اتجرا
الخد برق فى علو المزوني تقول براق من الصيف سرا
وقفت عنده شايحات عيوني كني غرير با للهاوي مضرا

psychology

one subject that i didn't study was psychology.

i wish i had taken 2 or 3 courses in this subject..

i think that ALL people have to really understand the subject of psychology.

the reason is:

** some people will know how sick someothers are.

**And for the sick people to know that they are sick.

Carmina Burana

this is a nice piece of classical music.. the two performances are great.. they both look like they are from the same venue (the Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra) the piece is by Carl Orff.

the lyrics are in Latin.. i like it cause they say semper (not with an "i") three times.. here it is:


O Fortuna (Chorus) ...O Fortune,
velut luna... like the moon
statu variabilis,... you are changeable,
semper crescis ...ever waxing
aut decrescis; ...and waning;
vita detestabilis ...hateful life
nunc obdurat ...first oppresses
et tunc curat ...and then soothes
ludo mentis aciem, ...as fancy takes it;
egestatem, ...poverty
potestatem ...and power
dissolvit ut glaciem. ...it melts them like ice.
Sors immanis ...Fate - monstrous
et inanis, ...and empty,
rota tu volubilis, ...you whirling wheel,
status malus, ...you are malevolent,
vana salus ...well-being is vain
semper dissolubilis, ...and always fades to nothing,
obumbrata ...shadowed
et velata ...and veiled
michi quoque niteris; ...you plague me too;
nunc per ludum ...now through the game
dorsum nudum ...I bring my bare back
fero tui sceleris. ...to your villainy.
Sors salutis ...Fate is against me
et virtutis ...in health
michi nunc contraria, ...and virtue,
est affectus ...driven on
et defectus ...and weighted down,
semper in angaria. ...always enslaved.
Hac in hora ...So at this hour
sine mora ...without delay
corde pulsum tangite; ...pluck the vibrating strings;
quod per sortem ...since Fate
sternit fortem, ...strikes down the string man,
mecum omnes plangite! ...everyone weep with me!
























**the Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra

الله اكبر ياحمام

الله اكبر ياحمام من صلاة العصر ناح

وانشغل قلبي معاه لاجزاه الله بخير
الله اكبر يوم ناض طار ورفرف بالجناح

ودي اتبع ساقة الراعبي وازريت اطيـر
ودي اتبع ساقته بالمقيل وبالمراح

شوف عيني بين هاك المباني يستديـر
واهنيك بالمسا ياحمام وبالصباح

كل يوم تشاهد الترف ملهوف الضميـر
ياحمام الورق قل للغضي سيد الملاح

عن ذهابي قل لزين الوصايـف يستخير
وصف خده بارق الوسم من منشاه لاح

يوم شعشع زاد نور البلد عقب الاخيـر
والعيون عيون خشفاً تربى بالبياح

كل ما هبت نسيـم الهبايب يستذير
يامريح القلب قلب المولع مـاتستراح

تقل يجذب للهوى في سلوك مـن حريـر
اتضيم واتهضم وانا مالي صلاح

واتقلب طول ليلي مثل وصف الكسير
ياهلي لولا الهوى كان اطنب بالصياح

عقب فرقا الترف مادري وش الدنيا تصير
كن بعيونه لراع الهوى زرق الرماح

هو خطر واللي تولع معه قلبه خطيـر

Farewell to Pavarotti

E LUCEVAN LE STELLE

* Tosca *
( written by Giacomo Puccini )


E lucevan le stelle ... And the stars were shining ...
ed olezzava la terra ... the earth smelt sweet ...
stridea l'uscio dell'orto ... the garden gate creaked ..
e un passo sfiorava la rena... and a footstep brushed the sand.
Entrava ella, fragrante, She entered, fragrant,
mi cadea fra le braccia. and fell into my arms.
Oh! dolce baci, o languide carezze, O soft kisses, tender caresses,
mentr'io fremente, while I, all a-quiver,
le belle forme disciogliea dai veli! unveiled her lovely features!
Svani per sempre il sogno mio d'amore ... Vanished forever is my dream of love ...
L'ora e fuggita, That time has fled
e muoio disperato! and I die in despair.
E non ho amato mai tanto la vita! Never have I loved life so dearly!

today's song...

Avec le temp
Avec le temps...
Avec le temps, va, tout s'en va
On oublie le visage et l'on oublie la voix
Le coeur quand ça bat plus, c'est pas la peine d'aller
Chercher plus loin, faut laisser faire et c'est très bien
Avec le temps...
Avec le temps, va, tout s'en va
L'autre qu'on adorait, qu'on cherchait sous la pluie
L'autre qu'on devinait au détour d'un regard
Entre les mots, entre les lignes et sous le fard
D'un serment maquillé qui s'en va faire sa nuit
Avec le temps tout s'évanouit
Avec le temps...
Avec le temps, va, tout s'en va
Mêm' les plus chouett's souv'nirs ça t'a un' de ces gueules
A la Gal'rie j'Farfouille dans les rayons d'la mort
Le samedi soir quand la tendresse s'en va tout' seule
Avec le temps...
Avec le temps, va, tout s'en va
L'autre à qui l'on croyait, pour un rhume, pour un rien
L'autre à qui l'on donnait du vent et des bijoux
Pour qui l'on eût vendu son âme pour quelques sous
Devant quoi l'on s'trainait comme trainent les chiens
Avec le temps, va, tout va bien
Avec le temps...
Avec le temps, va, tout s'en va
On oublie les passions et l'on oublie les voix
Qui vous disaient tout bas les mots des pauvres gens
Ne rentre pas trop tard, surtout ne prend pas froid
Avec le temps...
Avec le temps, va, tout s'en va
Et l'on se sent blanchi comme un cheval fourbu
Et l'on se sent glacé dans un lit de hasard
Et l'on se sent tout seul peut-être mais peinard
Et l'on se sent floué par les années perdues
Alors vraiment
Avec le temps on n'aime plus.
