Re-visiting two uplifting songs, one filled with hope in Egyptian Arabic and the other spiritual in French

This post will feature two songs Bambi finds inspiring.

The first one song by Ms. Jasmine Alis is entitled “Meeting people“. Here is a quick English translation of its lyrics:

“We meet new people, we leave other people.

Our life can change, or turn upside down, in one second. What can we do?

This one is harming another person, this one is being hurt. This one is living in the past.

And our life conditions are baffling. If we are satisfied, they will deteriorate. Yes, we will be upset.

 And whose life is always safe? No one can guarantee the future days.

The one who is satisfied with his life conditions and differentiates between “halal” (good or allowed in life) and “haram” (unlawful or prohibited).

A question and its answer, we know it, although one day we will forget it, and what do we take with us in the end?

As long as we leave the world and we will leave it, why will we be upset?

A piece of advice, just live and do not let anything disturb your peace of mind.

Take one minute only to look around you and you will see the sun shining brightly.

And then, at the height of the night, you will see the beautiful moon enlightening you.

Other than joy and laughter, do not leave in your features when you will go.

What are you arranging and calculating? What will happen will end up happening to you.

Hope is so close to those who want to see it. You will be optimistic, and life will laugh back to you, in the blink of an eye, and the world will be yours.

Our lives are hours that we paint and beautify with colours.

With one colour, we choose to end life and with another colour we can give our life safety.

Tomorrow your worries will pass; there is nothing that shall not pass.

A life that wants you to be strong; the more you feel empowered, the fullest you will live.

We meet new people, we leave other people.

Our life can change or turn upside down in one second, what can we do?“

As for the second song (video shown below), it is by two talented French-based artists, Mr. Kendji Girac and Mr. Claudio Capeo. Before sharing it with you, here is quick translation:

“We should be Gods

We should be strong

As if wet eyes

It’s for those who are wrong

We should dance

And hide our pain

Be the last to cry

Never show our fear

We should be kings

We should be proud

As if to give up

It’s for the one who loses

We should knock

And then bulge out the chest

Be the first to scream, louder

But may God forgive me

I did everything on instinct

I am just a man

Maybe a good-for-nothing

But may God forgive me

I have my heart on my hands

If sometimes I give up

It’s to do better tomorrow

And may God forgive me

May God forgive me

You would have to be a genius

Be an ode to joy

Every time we are told

And you, how are you doing

And we would have to push

All those around us

Be the first to scream

“Look at me!”

But may God forgive me

I did everything on instinct

I am just a man

Maybe a good-for-nothing

But may God forgive me

I have my heart on my hands

If sometimes I give up

It’s to do better tomorrow

May God forgive me

May God forgive me

In my eyes, in my eyes, everything amazes me

I have the heart, I have the heart that shines

What I have, what I have, I give

In my eyes, in my eyes, everything amazes me

I have the heart, I have the heart that shines

What I have, what I have, I give

But may God forgive me

I did everything on instinct

I am just a man

Maybe a good-for-nothing

But may God forgive me

I have my heart on my hands

If sometimes I give up

It’s to do better tomorrow

But may God forgive me

I did everything on instinct

I am just a man

Maybe a good-for-nothing

But may God forgive me

I have my heart on my hands

If sometimes I give up

It’s to do better tomorrow

May God forgive me

May God forgive me“.
