Oumi Tla3i 3al Baal
(Wake Up and Come to my mind)
by Marcel Khalifeh

My own translation of one of Marcel's sad love songs... from the 1990 Album "Tusbihuna 3ala Watan" (Ode to a Homeland).

"

In your absence, the rain fell... Wake up and come to my mind...

In your absence, the rain fell... Wake up and come to my mind...

Upstairs is the prayer carpet, but those praying are few

Their voices are like Egypt the Woman and Ba'albeck a Man

So much grass has grown between us, the Gazelle can graze

repeat Chorus

I sent with the shepherd from Hamah, I asked him to see the weather from the North

He told me this year a wind is coming that will push the horserider off his horse... Weli Weli

I wish I hadnt saddled the horse or sent this message...

I wish I hadnt saddled the horse or sent this message...
