Hiba Tawaji - Aarafta am la (Lyric video) / هبه طوجي - عرفت ام لا
Lyrics: Mansour Rahbani
Music & Orchestration: Oussama Rahbani
Produced by Oussama Rahbani
Taken from the album "Hiba Tawaji 30" produced by Oussama Rahbani (2017).
"This is a poem that was written in the 60's by Mansour Rahbani and appeared in his collection of poetry "Ana al-gharib al-akhar". Mohammad Abdul-Wahab wanted to put it to music for Oum Kalthoumbut this request was denied because they wanted to change one word in the poem. The powerfully emotional composition on this track is reminiscent of the great movie soundtracks. Hiba's performance relies on an inner monologue with dynamics that come so naturally to her. The song is also a salute to the great Rahbani brothers/Fairuz tradition".

Lyrics | كلمات
عَرَفْتَ أم لا
كلُّ شيءٍ زائلْ
عيناَكَ
والأطفالُ
والقوافلْ
الزهرُ لا يرجعُ مرتينْ
كذبتُ حينَ قلتُ
مرتينْ
وأنا ..
يا قمر الفِرارِ
يا آتياً من سَفَرِ العينينْ
خوفاً على أسمِكَ
كَتَبْتهُ على
كنيسةٍ قديمهْ
كَتَبْتُهُ على
سِفرِ النبوءات
على الإنجيلِ والأدعيةِ الحميمهْ
سافرتُ في تهدُّجِ الأصواتِ
في تضرّعِ العجائزْ
وفي صلاةِ البسطاءْ
كَتَبْتُه اسمَكَ
جاؤوا من الظهيرةْ
فدخلوا الكنيسهْ
وركعوا وصلّوا
وقدّموا نذورهمْ
وأحرقوا البخورْ
إلاّ أنا ...
لا فِضةً لا ذهباً
كانَ معي أسمكَ
وضعتُهُ في عُلبةِ النذورْ
