Bambi enjoyed this musical moment, and the lyrics of this Lebanese-Arabic song. If she may, she would like to share it with you in this post.
The translated lyrics are taken from the YouTube video below:
“Tell me, my daughter,
A bedtime story
Tell me, even if,
You haven’t yet learned your words
Speak to me, without speaking..
A smile on your lips would do it
I would hide it in my heart,
Maybe then, I’d forget about my sorrows
Your broken letters: I guess at them, and laugh
Your awkward words: they’re so sweet,
I understand them the way I want to!
I use them to make up a story,
And I tell it,
And every night I wait for it,
And I fall asleep,
before I get to its ending
I miss all the tales
Of princes and of fairies
Of treasures and of mermaids
On forgotten pages
Bring me all those coloured books
So I can travel back to the age of innocence
And tell me how beautiful this world is
So I can see its beauty
And if, tonight, you don’t feel like talking
At least sing me a lullaby,
with that sweet voice of yours
And let my eyes rest,
To a world of peace.“
