What\u2019s happening to the world? News of violence, crime, and hatred are flooding internet websites, Facebook posts, political talk shows, TV stations, and many other social media outlets. Day in and day out, we wake up to devastating news from almost every Arab capital in the Middle East and North Africa and just recently from a European capital. Let\u2019s hope that this is the end of an awful nightmare for Arabs, Europeans, and people and societies in every corner of this world will someday wake up to news of peace, hope, and love. Speaking of hope and to cheer you all up, including myself, I am sharing a beautiful and positive song by Fairouz. The song is called \u2018Kan el-zaman w-Kan,\u2019 which roughly translates to \u2018Those were the days.\u2019 Similar to other musical posts, I have added the song in the form of a YouTube video and added the lyrics in Arabic so that you can follow and sing with Fairouz. I have also translated them to English so that you can learn what these beautiful lyrics mean.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"\u0643\u0627\u0646 \u0627\u0644\u0632\u0645\u0627\u0646 \u0648\u0643\u0627\u0646 - \u0641\u064a\u0631\u0648\u0632\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/eZBCGVAkZLI?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><strong><u>\u0641\u064a\u0631\u0648\u0632<\/u><\/strong><strong><u>&#8211; <\/u><\/strong><strong><u>\u0643\u0627\u0646 \u0627\u0644\u0632\u0645\u0627\u0646 \u0648 \u0643\u0627\u0646<br \/>\nFairouz- Kan el-zaman w-Kan<br \/>\n<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><strong>\u0643\u0627\u0646 \u0627\u0644\u0632\u0645\u0627\u0646 \u0648 \u0643\u0627\u0646 \u0641\u064a \u062f\u0643\u0627\u0646\u0629 \u0628\u0627\u0644\u0641\u064a<br \/>\n<\/strong>Those were the days, there was a small shop in the shade<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><strong>\u0648 \u0628\u0646\u064a\u0627\u062a \u0648 \u0635\u0628\u064a\u0627\u0646 \u0646\u064a\u062c\u064a \u0646\u0644\u0639\u0628 \u0639\u0627\u0644\u0645\u064a<br \/>\n<\/strong>and boys and girls would come and play by the water<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><strong>\u064a\u0628\u0642\u0649 \u062d\u0646\u0627 \u0627\u0644\u0633\u0643\u0631\u0627\u0646 \u0642\u0627\u0639\u062f \u062e\u0644\u0641 \u0627\u0644\u062f\u0643\u0627\u0646<br \/>\n<\/strong>and drunken Hanna would be sitting behind the shop<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><strong>\u0628\u063a\u0646\u064a \u0648 \u062a\u062d\u0632\u0646 \u0628\u0646\u062a \u0627\u0644\u062c\u064a\u0631\u0627\u0646<br \/>\n<\/strong>singing and making the girl next door sad,<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><strong>\u0623\u0648\u0639\u0649 \u062a\u0646\u0633\u064a\u0646\u064a \u0648 \u062a\u0630\u0643\u0631\u064a \u062d\u0646\u0627 \u0627\u0644\u0633\u0643\u0631\u0627\u0646<br \/>\n<\/strong>Don\u2019t ever forget me and remember drunken Hanna<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><strong>\u0646\u062d\u0646\u0627 \u0648 \u0627\u0644\u0639\u0635\u0627\u0641\u064a\u0631 \u0643\u0646\u0627 \u0628\u0627\u0644\u062d\u064a \u0646\u062f\u0648\u0631<br \/>\n<\/strong>A bunch of us and a bunch of birds would roam around the street,<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><strong>\u0635\u0648\u0628 \u0627\u0644\u062f\u0643\u0627\u0646 \u0646\u0637\u064a\u0631 \u062d\u0627\u0645\u0644\u064a\u0646 \u063a\u0645\u0627\u0631 \u0632\u0647\u0648\u0631<br \/>\n<\/strong>towards the shop we flew carrying batches of flowers,<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><strong>\u064a\u0628\u0642\u0649 \u062d\u0646\u0627 \u0627\u0644\u0633\u0643\u0631\u0627\u0646 \u0645\u0644\u0647\u064a \u0648 \u0639\u0644\u0649 \u0627\u0644\u062d\u064a\u0637\u0627\u0646<br \/>\n<\/strong>and drunken Hanna would be busy and on the walls,<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><strong>\u0639\u0645 \u0628\u064a\u0635\u0648\u0631 \u0628\u0646\u062a \u0627\u0644\u062c\u064a\u0631\u0627\u0646<br \/>\n<\/strong>drawing the girl next door<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><strong>\u062d\u0644\u0648\u0629 \u0628\u0628\u064a\u062a \u0627\u0644\u062c\u064a\u0631\u0627\u0646 \u0631\u0627\u062d\u062a \u0628\u0644\u064a\u0644\u0629 \u0639\u064a\u062f<br \/>\n<\/strong>The beauty in the next door\u2019s house went away in a feisty night,<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><strong>\u0648 \u0627\u0646\u0647\u062f\u062a \u0627\u0644\u062f\u0643\u0627\u0646 \u0648 \u0627\u062a\u0639\u0645\u0631 \u0628\u064a\u062a \u062c\u062f\u064a\u062f<br \/>\n<\/strong>and the shop was torn down, and a new house was built instead,<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><strong>\u0648 \u0628\u0639\u062f\u0648 \u062d\u0646\u0627 \u0627\u0644\u0633\u0643\u0631\u0627\u0646 \u0639\u0644\u0649 \u062d\u064a\u0637\u0627\u0646 \u0627\u0644\u0646\u0633\u064a\u0627\u0646<br \/>\n<\/strong>and drunken Hanna is still, on the walls of oblivion, drawing the girl next door<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><strong>For now take care and stay tuned for upcoming posts!<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>Happy Learning!<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>Have a nice day!!<br \/>\n\u0646\u0647\u0627\u0631\u0643\u0645<\/strong> <strong>\u0633\u0639\u064a\u062f<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Marhaba!
