hmm..i so dont understand this..i'm sorry..but i figured since i read it, i might as well leave my mark of question upon it..maybe i'll get an explanation i can understand! it does seem more like a song..(i noticed the "musical interlude"....) maybe the repitition would make more sense to me that way.. i think i'll look for something else written by you--cause this one went right over my head...!  dg"Half of what i say is meaningless; but i say it so that the other half may reach you." -Kahlil Gibran |

Salma, this was breath-taking. And guess what? I UNDERSTOOD it ALL!!!  Though I do not know the native language of this song, I do recognize the lyrical style. It sings more like a dirge or lament, with the repetition of lines to emphasize the next step in the journey, kinda like, but not identical, to the sestina. I can also see some of the similarity you spoke of in reference to Mystic Woman. Thank you so very much for not only finding the song you mentioned, but for posting it as well...not to mention the email letting me know which forum it was located. Thank you again, my friend.

Alicat- I'm glad you liked it, the guy that sung this is a well known legand in Egyptian Art (Abdel Halim Hafz) and most of his songs are in this style with this sort of deep meaning, I love them all! If you'd like to read more of his lyrics you can at: http://www.romanysaad.com/abdelhalimhafez/index.html and click on lyrics where it'll give you a list of english lyrics, this one is called Kariat El Fingan. At that same site they have midis and music sheets so it's pretty nice....if you'd like to hear the song itself letme know...I think I can get it online Good luck, Salooma |
