I just wanna share a story about this song we're I heard it from a taxi driver in turkey, he is nearly my age and doesn't know any Arabic words, but he said to me when he hear this song he feel something else. We became best friends since then, and this is our song.
It gives me back memories 😭
Hello from lebanon!!

[Arziil]

This song, only one stanza that repeats, tells the story of a lover who is bemoaning/singing the blues about his beloved being upset with him. In this song, he's pleading innocence as he entreats his beloved/companion to help him understand what happened...why she's is so upset with him...and that he has nothing to do with her upset.

"Tell me [dear] Khala i.e. slender, graceful companion, why is my sweet lover upset? I swear she's not upset with me; no, i'm sure it is her deep•seated melancholy. For I even [for her comfort] suspended [my love for her] a hammock swing between the roof of my house and hers. Oh let the naysayers go on accusing me of having stolen her heart, what they don't understand is that we are twin flame lovers of one and the same spirit." ~•

"a'llala w' lala w' lala, yaba leish e'za'al ya khala? yaba leish e' za'al ya khala?"
This is an ancient form of singing in the Aramaic/Canaanite cultures of the Middle East. It predates islam, christianity and even judaism in the region. It has survived and morphed into a present day genre known today as Qudud Halabiya, which means the Musical Measures of Aleppo.


Then right @ 2:00 minutes into the song, the singer/lover says: "el hilweh ma zi'lit minni, yaba hiyyeh zi'lit la hala, yaba hiyyeh zi'lit la7ala." Again, here he is entreating with the listener as his "juror", he's pleading to be exonerated from any blame, guilt or responsibility for the inexplicable and unbearable sadness that his twin flame lover feels. It is as if he's implying that perhaps to be a lover in love, is to experience sadness; a kind of existential romantic angst with a melancholic poignancy that comes from yearning for the beloved, specially when u know that this lover is ur twin flame, and he is with u in the flesh...This kind of knowing must be both: exhilarating and terrifying, no? For to be in the presence of ur twin fame lover is to realize ur own mortality...and that for sure evokes sadness. After all, u Gno because u love, u love because u die, u die because u canNOT die.

*** Now if i may gently suggest, for ur listen•nin pleasure, consider changing the speed setting of the song from the 'normal' tempo to .75 tempo. In my experience, the slower speed setting is way better for the playback of the song; for this genre of electro•remixing tends to unnecessarily speed up the original tempo of the piece, thus undermining the soul•full 'feel' of the song. u can find the icon for the speed setting on the lower right hand side corner of the video frame, right where the HD sign is. Enjoy.

This is honestly my favourite song to. Especially after a joint. Beautiful track and the voice is God sent.

Translating this song as a levantine Arab since this song is in levantine arabic.

Context:
This is a conversation between a father and his son who is in love with a girl and seems to have gotten in a small quarrel with her.

————————

Translation:

The father: why so upset my dear son? X2

The son: the pretty girl (his lover) wasn’t upset by something I’ve done, oh dad, she got upset on her own…. I swear I will cast a hammock from the rooftop of our house to the rooftop her house…

oh dad, let the neighbours say it’s a thief (for climbing across the hammock), but the reality is that my soul and hers are intertwined.x2

The father: and so my son, why are you upset again?

——————

Moral:

Its a problem with a simple solution that the son found after a heartfelt conversation with his father.

[burakcelik]
