ウンムクルスーム、以前にブログでご紹介しましたが、アラブを代表する歌手です。アラブ圏の人ならだれでも知っている、偉大なエジプト人女性歌手です。
ウンムクルスームを代表する曲の一つに、ファッカルーニーがあります。歌詞内容があったので、英語ですが載せておきます。
Fakarouni = they reminded me.
They told me again about you... they reminded me
They awoke the fire of love in my heart and in my eyes
The past returned to me with its sweetness, its richness, it's sweetness, its torture, its offense
And I remembered I was so happy with you
And I also remembered, my soul, why we are far from each other
After I believed that I could forget... after my heart could forget you and grieve
So much as a whisper and they changed me... why were they reminding me?
After I was returned to you farness was forced upon me
After I forgot the hope and wishes, and desires
Two words came... and my patience left me
They awoke in my eye nostalgia for your smile
They awoke my ears wanting to hear you say just one word
And my heart began melting me... melting me with its sighs
And the night began... began lasting longer than its hours
And I stay awake listening to the pulse of my heart calling me
My soul is in you no matter what happens... my soul is in you
What does the world equal when you are not with me...
It remains the world only with you
That which passed with you, my soul, I return to
And that which I lived with you I am reliving
They told me again about you
After all my depravation from you
今日のレストランで踊る曲も、この曲です！いい音源がエジプトで手に入ったので、楽しみです。
