Marhaba! We all just adore Fairouz\u2019s beautiful songs. Am I right? Many of you Arabic lovers always reach out to express your desire to learn more of her great songs. Well, you came to the right place! I am sure you know by now that Lady Fairouz<\/a> is one of my favorite Arab artists. She is one of the most admired and respected musicians in the Arab world and beyond. Today, I want to share with you yet another beautiful ballad by the great Fairouz! The song is called A’tini al-nay wa-ghanni\u00a0 (<\/strong>\u0623\u0639\u0637\u0646\u064a \u0627\u0644\u0646\u0627\u064a \u0648\u063a\u0646\u064a<\/strong>), which literally translates to Give me the Nay and Sing. The Nay is a type of flute which is used overwhelmingly in the Arab world, especially the Levant. The words of this beautiful ballad were taken from a poem written by Gibran Khalil Gibran<\/a>, one of the world’s most renowned poets. As always, I have added the song in the form of a YouTube video as well as the lyrics in Arabic. Similar to other musical posts, I have added the lyrics in Arabic so that you can follow and sing with Fairouz, and translated them to English so that you can learn what these beautiful lyrics mean.<\/p>\n
