Ani Maamin | I Believe | אני מאמין Rejoice, rejoice now in the dreams I the dreamer am he who speaks Rejoice, for I’ll have faith in mankind For in mankind I believe. For my soul still yearns for freedom I’ve not sold it to a calf of gold For I shall yet have faith in mankind In its spirit great and bold That will cast off binding chains Raise us up, hold high our heads Workers will not die of hunger For souls – release, for poor folk – bread. Rejoice for I have faith in friendship I’ll find a heart – in this I’ve faith – A heart that shares in all my hopes, A heart that feels both joy and pain. And I shall keep faith in the future, Though the day be yet unseen Surely it will come when nations All live in blessed peace. A poet shall sing a new anthem, His heart aware of beauty sublime For him, that young man, above my tomb Blossoms in a wreath shall twine. (Written in Odessa in 1892. Translated from Hebrew by Vivian Eden) ​ אני מאמין מילים: שאול טשרניחובסקי לחן: טוביה שלונסקי ​שַׂחֲקִי, שַׂחֲקִי עַל הַחֲלוֹמוֹת, זוּ אֲנִי הַחוֹלֵם שָֹח. שַׂחֲקִי כִּי בָאָדָם אַאֲמִין, כִּי עוֹדֶנִּי מַאֲמִין בָּךְ. כִּי עוֹד נַפְשִׁי דְּרוֹר שׁוֹאֶפֶת לֹא מְכַרְתִּיהָ לְעֵגֶל-פָּז, כִּי עוֹד אַאֲמִין גַּם בָּאָדָם, גַּם בְּרוּחוֹ, רוּחַ עָז. רוּחוֹ יַשְׁלִיךְ כַּבְלֵי-הֶבֶל, יְרוֹמְמֶנּוּ בָּמֳתֵי-עָל; לֹא בָּרָעָב יָמוּת עֹבֵד, דְּרוֹר – לַנֶּפֶשׁ, פַּת – לַדָּל. שַׂחֲקִי כִּי גַּם בְּרֵעוּת אַאֲמִין, אַאֲמִין, כִּי עוֹד אֶמְצָא לֵב, לֵב תִּקְוֹתַי גַּם תִּקְוֹתָיו, יָחוּשׁ אֹשֶׁר, יָבִין כְּאֵב. אַאֲמִינָה גַּם בֶּעָתִיד, אַף אִם יִרְחַק זֶה הַיּוֹם, אַךְ בּוֹא יָבוֹא – יִשְּׂאוּ שָׁלוֹם אָז וּבְרָכָה לְאֹם מִלְאֹם. אָז שִׁיר חָדָשׁ יָשִׁיר מְשׁוֹרֵר, לְיֹפִי וְנִשְׂגָּב לִבּוֹ עֵר; לוֹ, לַצָּעִיר, מֵעַל קִבְרִי פְּרָחִים יִלְקְטוּ לַזֵּר. שַׂחֲקִי, שַׂחֲקִי עַל הַחֲלוֹמוֹת, זוּ אֲנִי הַחוֹלֵם שָֹח.

Dancing for no one Leaves of the trees are hiding me Walking to a place I long to be I hear the river flow to the sea I feel the waves come back to me My thoughts are clear, heart beats are slow Stones mark a path to the unknown My soul floats with the wind I stare at the sky, down soon l fall My body is free, I feel the sun l am dancing for no one My soul is free, I raise my gun

Room (Nizar Qabbani) // Adaptation by Raphaëlle Oskar Oh, room All it holds is harmony Dreaming, The walls tell of love As does the light… And the breezes. Disbanded and huddled are your womanly things. The perfume bottle weeping, And the somber scarf, The deserted necklace, Heavy with relentless urge, And that bracelet mourning our love… Just like the ring. The veil from the corner summoning me fine faint fragrance on its threads Unfolding And those nimble dresses Season into season Red blouse, Ravishing like fire Bright dress Dark dress The view inflames my hell Bound by blossoms You behind it Lashes on the silky face And a quiet smile Confused is the painter! As though you were here, A spirit… In a mellow voice. Is it you by my side? Or that delusive sight? Lure of dusk, oh, Samra What an unjust thirst return to me above the clouds meet me do not go away from me without you all would cease to be غرفه نزار قباني يا غرفةً .. جميع ما فيها نسيقٌ .. حالم تروي الهوى جدرانها والنور .. والنسائم أشياؤك الأنثى بها نثيرةٌ .. تزاحم فدورق العبير يبكي والوشاح واجم وعقدك التريك أشجاه الحنين الدائم وذلك السوار يبكي حبنا .. والخاتم في الركن منديلٌ .. يناديني شفيفٌ فاغم ما زال في خيوطه منك عبيرٌ هائم وتلك أثواب الهوى مواسمٌ .. مواسم هذا قميصٌ أحمرٌ كالنار لا يقاوم وثم ثوبٌ فاقعٌ وثم ثوبٌ قاتم تذكي جحيمي صورةٌ تلفها البراعم وأنت من ورائها هدبٌ .. ووجهٌ ناعم ومبسمٌ ململمٌ يحار فيه الراسم كأنما أنت هنا .. طيفٌ .. وصوتٌ ناغم أنت التي في جانبي أم الإطار الواهم *** سمراء .. يا سمراء .. بي إليك شوقٌ ظالم عودي ! على ضفائر الغيم اللقاء القادم .. لا تتركيني .. لم يكن لولاك هذا العالم ..

שביל הבריאה אור זוהר, סוד כמוס, בעיניה ליל כשפים, חום בוער, בידיה צל דרקון, שביל של אש, בצעדיה אורגת את האור בבגד רוחי נוטעת עץ תקווה בשדות לבי קולה זועק אמת למרחקים שוב היא תקום מכל נפילה איפה שביל הבריאה לאמת שבליבה לרוץ בשדות ולשרוף, את העשב השוטה, שלופת בידייה רוקדת לאור הירח עד השחר שגובר על החושך בדרך אור זוהר, סוד כמוס... גובר, סוגר, בוער ליל כשפים, חום בוער... גובר, סוגר, סוער צל דרקון, שביל של אש... סוער, גובר, סוגר תשוקה כאב, רעד גובר... סוער, סוגר, בוער קול קורא, מרחוק.... אומר,זועק, סותר  לב כואב, רעד גובר ....  אומר, זועק, סותר לא תצליחו לכבות, את הנר הדולק  שבתוך לבה זוהר, מאיר, בהיר, נדיר

من كلمات مرام المصري لك أنا وأنت للجميع يا حبيبي وحبيب أختي وصديقتي اضرب كيلتي بخنصرك غش بالميزان وانتقيني Translation: I am yours and you are everyone's My lover, my sister's lover And my friend's lover Smash my scale with your little finger Cheat And choose me.

Children 03:41
Children - Khalil Gibran Your children are not your children They are the sons and daughters of life's longing for itself They come through you but not from you And though they are with you yet they belong not to you You may give them your love but not your thoughts For they have their own thoughts You may house their bodies but not their souls For their souls dwell in the house of tomorrow Which you cannot visit, not even in your dreams You may strive to be like them But seek not to make them like you For life goes not backward, nor tarries with yesterday You are the bows from which your children As living arrows are sent forth The archer sees the mark upon the path of the infinite And he bends you with his might That his arrows may go swift and far Let your bending in the archer's hand be for gladness For even as he loves the arrow that flies So he loves also the bow that is stable

أيها الساقي (أبي بكر ابن زهر ) أيها الساقي اليك المشتكى ** قــد دعونـــاك وإن لــم تسمع ونديــم همــت في غرتــــه وبشرب الــراح مـــن راحته كلما استيقظ من سكرتـــه جـــذب الــزق اليه واتكـــى ** وسقاني اربعـــاً فــي اربــع *** ما لعيني عشيت بالنظــــر أنــــكرت بعــدك ضوء القمر وإذا ما شئت فاسمع خبري عشيت عيني من طول البكا ** وبكى بعضي على بعضي معي *** ليس لي صبر ولا لي جــــلــــدُ يـــا لقــومي عــذلــوا واجتهدوا أنـــكروا شكواي مما أجـــــدُ مثل حــالي حقـــها أن تشتكي ** كمـــد اليــأس وذل الطمعِ
