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

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

و الغيمات تعبانين
and the clouds are tired
عالتلة خيمات مضويين
and on the hills some tents are lit
و مغارة سهرانه
and a cave is not sleeping
فيها طفل صغير
it has a little child in it
بعيونو الحلياني
in his beautiful eyes
حب كتير كتير

Silent Night / Oumin
Beddi Haberkon / Nejmet Eid
Snow .. Snow and Jingle Bells
Fairuz Jingle Bells (in Arabic) فيروز ليلة عيد
زينة و ناس صوت جراس عم بترن بعيد
ليلة عيد ليلة عيد الليلة ليلة عيد
صوت ولاد تياب جداد و بكرا الحب جديد
عم يتلاقوا الأصحاب
بهديي خلف الباب
في سجرة بالدار
و يدوروا ولاد صغار
و السجرة صارت عيد
و العيد اسوارة بأيد
و الأيد تعلق عالسجرة
غنيي و عناقيد
يا مغارة كلا بيوت
تلمع متل الياقوت
كيف جبتي عالدار
تلج شرايط و قمار
مين اللي جاي بعيد
عم بيرش مواعيد
يدق بواب الناس و يمشي
و الخير علينا يزيد

Al Mahabba (Love) By Gibran Khalil Gibran فيروز Fairouz poetry
2. Gibran on Love...
Then said Almitra, "Speak to us of Love."
And he raised his head and looked upon the people, and there fell a stillness upon them. And with a great voice he said:
When love beckons to you follow him,
Though his ways are hard and steep.
And when his wings enfold you yield to him,
Though the sword hidden among his pinions may wound you.
And when he speaks to you believe in him,
Though his voice may shatter your dreams as the north wind lays waste the garden.
For even as love crowns you so shall he crucify you. Even as he is for your growth so is he for your pruning.
Even as he ascends to your height and caresses your tenderest branches that quiver in the sun,
So shall he descend to your roots and shake them in their clinging to the earth.
Like sheaves of corn he gathers you unto himself.
He threshes you to make you naked.
He sifts you to free you from your husks.
He grinds you to whiteness.
He kneads you until you are pliant;
And then he assigns you to his sacred fire, that you may become sacred bread for God's sacred feast.
All these things shall love do unto you that you may know the secrets of your heart, and in that knowledge become a fragment of Life's heart.
But if in your fear you would seek only love's peace and love's pleasure,
Then it is better for you that you cover your nakedness and pass out of love's threshing-floor,
Into the seasonless world where you shall laugh, but not all of your laughter, and weep, but not all of your tears.
Love gives naught but itself and takes naught but from itself.
Love possesses not nor would it be possessed;
For love is sufficient unto love.
When you love you should not say, "God is in my heart," but rather, I am in the heart of God."
And think not you can direct the course of love, if it finds you worthy, directs your course.
Love has no other desire but to fulfil itself.
But if you love and must needs have desires, let these be your desires:
To melt and be like a running brook that sings its melody to the night.
To know the pain of too much tenderness.
To be wounded by your own understanding of love;
And to bleed willingly and joyfully.
To wake at dawn with a winged heart and give thanks for another day of loving;
To rest at the noon hour and meditate love's ecstasy;
To return home at eventide with gratitude;
And then to sleep with a prayer for the beloved in your heart and a song of praise upon your lips.

A lantern rises

اومن أن في صمت الكون المقفل
I believe that in the silence of the closed universe
من يصغي لي

أني إذ ترنو عيناي للسماء
and when my eyes look at the sky ,
تصفو الأضواء
the lights get clear
تعلو الألحان ...
and the music rises
كلي إيمان
I am full of faith
