“Oh Bird” (Ya Tayr)

Performed by: Fairuz

"Oh bird.. You flying on the edge of the world
If you only could tell my love what I’m going trough.. Oh bird.. Oh bird..

Oh bird.. You flying on the edge of the world
If you only could tell my love what I’m going trough.. Oh bird.. Oh bird..
Oh bird.. Oh bird..
Oh bird.. If you only could tell my love what I’m going trough.. Oh bird.. Oh bird..

Oh bird.. Taking along the color of trees..
There’s no more but the wait and boredom.. (Repeat x2)
I wait beneath the sun’s eye on the cold rocks
Confused and the hand of separation breaks me.. Oh bird..

By your feathers and my passing days together
By the flowers of thorns and the blowing wind (Repeat x2)
If you were going in his direction and the wind blew hard
Take me along if only for a minute and bring me back.. Oh bird..

Oh bird.. Oh bird..

Oh pigeon of “Sannine” in the heavens
Oh pigeon of “Sannine” in the mountains
Explain to my lovely the state I’m in
Explain to my lovely.. Oh pigeon.. (Repeat x3)

Ohhh pigeon..

Oh pigeon above water while traveling
Visit that neighborhood and keep going
And bring back a stem of shade for the wounds
And meet me by the spring, oh pigeon

Oh pigeon of “Sannine” in the heavens
Oh pigeon of “Sannine” in the mountains
Explain to my lovely the state I’m in
Explain to my lovely.. Oh pigeon.. (Repeat x2)"

Why do I love this song so much?
Well, first if you listen to the words alongside the music you can sense the feel of the birds chirping and singing along. Then, close your eyes while the music smoothly evolves and you would feel soaring above the Lebanese mountains (Sannine, Ehden, Cedars..)
Ahh.. I just miss Lebanon so much..
If only she knew what I'm going trough being away from her.. What would I give to be with her right now in Lebanon on top of the highest mountains..

P.S: The link to the song is working now. Altaugh it's not the same version, which I like and which I translated, but check it out, it's as nice.
