Jnoun ! 08:01
الحبّ دايم خلّيني طير لفوق الغيوم بعيد لحقني ، سايرني والموت دايم غنّيلي كتير بصوت عالي وصريح ضحكلي ، ساعدني آه مش قادر وحدي كون نفسي جنون آه ما تبعد عنّي بليز خوفي جنون Ami, paumé Tout loin d'ici Parti, en soufflant "Viens avec moi" Ô... Serrer ce nœud au cou, vieux fou Ô... La haut, toujours trop tôt, ‘ nous reverrons un jour—

Ya Zahratan 03:47
يا زهرةً في خيالي راعيتها في فؤادي جَنَت عليها الليالي وأذبلتها الأيادي وشاغلتها العيون فماتَ سحرُ الجفون آه يا غرامي كلُّ شيئٍ ضاعَ منّي فنزعتُ الحبّ من قلبي وروحي ووهبتُ العمرَ أوتاري ولحني وتغنّيتُ فداويتُ جروحي أنا طيرٌ في رُبى الفنِّ يغنّي للطيور للزهور للغصون Ya zahratan fi khayali raaeytouha fi fouadi janat aaleyha el layali wa azbalatha el ayadi wa chaghalatha el ouyoun fa mata sahrou joufoun ah ya gharami koulou chayin daa mini fa nazaatou el houba mn qalbi wa rouhi wa waahabtou el omra awtari wa lahni wa taghanaytou fa dawaytou jourouhi ana tayroun fi rouba el fani youghani litouyour lilzouhour fil ghousoun Oh flower of my imagination, I guarded her in my heart The nights hurt her, and hands threw her away And eyes distracted her, and the magic of her eyelids died My love, everything was lost to me And love was ripped from my heart and soul And I gave life my vocal chords and tune And I sang and my wounds were healed I am a bird singing in the lands of art To the birds, to the flowers on the branches
