Hubaybi – love song

My Love – Hubaybi
My love, like a date hidden in scarves
I dream about you at night three times

My love, like a date in baskets
Your love in each day gets stronger

My love, like the seed of lavender flower
The creator has made you handsome and full of power








Gul lilhabib – yearning song

Gul lilhabib – tell my beloved
Oh star shining star above my house
tell my lover I won’t forget him,
 day and night

tell my lover to remember
my yearning heart
and the calmness of my spirit, 
like calmness of every river

I have been waiting for you for hours, 
at night and at dawn
I gave you whole my soul
publicly and secretly

 

 

 

 

Bint al arusa – wedding song

Bint al arusa

burn incense and pray for him, 
and as for the breakup, God will not bring it back

my mother nurtured me like a cardamom in its pod
and my father sent me as maid to serve others

open your place for us, son of my nation,
We are your sisters, your heaven and your hell

singleness is sweet as grapes, stay single,
and as for marriage – daily challenges

your living room is beautiful, so beautiful its chambers.
I wish I knew when I would come back






La Tinguduni – love song

La Tinguduni – don’t rebuke me

don’t rebuke me, if I stepped among the thorns
breakup from my love is like death

don’t rebuke me if I am restless
this is God’s will, and what else can I do?

don’t ask me why there is a tear on my cheek
because he captured my soul and left me alone

good evening to you, enter through the portholes
and when you enjoy your time, you spread out your curls

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Gul lilhabib – yearning song:  short  teaser 01:30

Gul lilhabib – tell my beloved
Oh star shining star above my house
tell my lover I won’t forget him,
 day and night

tell my lover to remember
my yearning heart
and the calmness of my spirit, 
like calmness of every river

I have been waiting for you for hours, 
at night and at dawn
I gave you whole my soul
publicly and secretly

 

 

 

 

 

 

Ya Hilwi Ya Hali – my beautiful, my sweetheart

Ya Hilwi Ya Hali – My beautiful, my sweetheart

my beautiful, my sweetheart,
always on my mind

I fed you the finest food
I dressed you with luxury clothes,

God, love is a  torment
Ohhh..God, save me.

I won’t complain to my mother, nor my father,
as he is the source of my happiness

A gate that is closed, get up and open it
and a deer that ran away, send him back to me
