تقول اهواك انا مانساك You say I love you I will not forget you - A song with a little scandal story

This song is an interesting song from the 80s, from Jordan. It was a very popular song during the mid/late eighties. Check out the headbands and women's hairdos.The music also reminds me of Cindy Lauper, early Madonna stuff, David Bowe, you know, pop music of the 80s, notice the base, the synth... so 80s . I loved this song , especially the part where she is walking with a bunch of her girlfriends friends wearing Bedouin clothes and 80s headbands and tights, so funny...

The band that sings this song is a Jordanian band called Mirage, was called Mirage, they  stopped singing unfortunately. They were a talented couple, a man and a woman , who are married. They got into a really bad scandal though, After which I heard they immigrated to Canada and left Jordan. So, this poor couple, who are married, it seems they enjoyed taping themselves having sex and watching themselves later, uhumm, so one day a thief came and stole their house and included in the stuff that was stolen was their VCR with guess whic tape in it?? Yes, you guessed right. Next the tape was all over the black market and with every pimple-faced teenager in Jordan and many arab countries ... the poor couple were shamed and destroyed. They had to run away to the land of the west..They say they immigrated to Canada.. masakeen..

Now isnt this is story?

I wonder what they are doing now.. I wonder if they are alive .. I hope they are .. I hope they are alive and making some very cool music ..

Here are the lyrics translated by your truly for your pleasure.

تقول اهواك
 You say I love you

انا مانساك
 I will not forget you

ليه
 Why

وتروح وما نرجع
and you leave and never come back?
تقول انتي القمر
 you say you are (like) the moon

بليل السهر
 In the long night

مثل السحر فلّيت
 like magic you went away

وليلي طويل
 and my night is long

اسأل نجوم الليل
 I ask the stars of the night

ما تيجيب
 They dont answer

صمت الحجر قاسي

 silence of the stone is cruel

واقول اخطيت
 I say I did wrong

يمكن أكون اخطيت

maybe i did wrong

ونسيت
 or I forgot

وقليبي مش ناسي
but my heart is not forgetting
تقول اهواك انا مانساك
 you say I love you I will never for get you

وتروح وما ترجع
and you leave and never come back

يركض بينا العمر
 Time runs fast

شاب الشعر
 my hair is getting grey

بتمنى طلتك
 I wish for you show up

وابعث مرسال ورا مرسال
 I send to you

time after time

الك

مادري تقول حسيت
 I wonder if you feel me

تقولي كلام
 you tell me words

احلى من الاحلام

that are sweeter than dreams

واجمل
 and more beautiful

ويضيع معانيه
 and then all the meanings are lost

تغيب سنين

you disappear for years!
وسنين تغيب  وما تسأل

 and years you disappear

and you never ask
والعشق لمّا زال
 but in love , I still am

الفراق
 being away from you

يا عمري طال
 has gone for too long

my precious

وصعب الحال
 My situation is hard

ما يهدا البال
my mind never eases
تقول اهواك
 you say I love you

انا مانساك
 I will never forget you

ليه
 why

وتروح وما نرجع

 and you leave and you never come back?

بيع الجمل يا علي sell the camel, Ali : Samira Twfiq- The Gypsy from Jordan

قلبي افطر نصين
My heart was broken into two halves
هون وهون
here and here
وشلون يا ويلي اداري
and oh dear how can i  hide it?
 شلون؟
how?

لون الفرح يا ناس
The color of happiness , Oh people,
مادري بيه
I dont know it,
ولونك يا غربة
and your colors, daispora,
الف لون ولون
are one and a thousand colors

بيع الجمل يا علي
sell the camel, Ali
واشتري مهر الي
and buy my dowry
كرمي لوح واستوى
my vine is swaying and has ripened
والعنب طاب وحلي
and the grapes are good and sweet
بيع
sell
بيع
sell
بيع
sell
بيع
sell
بيع  الجمل يا علي
sell the camel, Ali

يا علي بيع الجمال
Ali, sell the camels
قبل مايضيع الجمال
before the beauty is lost
واهدي بويا ذهب ومال
and gift my father gold and money
واشتريني يا علي
and buy me , Ali

ياعلي بويا طميع
Oh, Ali, My dad is gready,
شو عندك يا حبيبي بيع
whatever you have my beloved, sell it,
لو تتأخر انا رح ضيع
if you are late I will be lost
لا تضيعني يا علي
dont lose me , Oh Ali ..


انا وانت بيكفينا
me and you will be satisfied
بيت زغير يدفينا
with a small home that warms us
ويطعمينا ويسقينا
and God of the heavens
رب السما يا علي
will feed us and provide for us
