Ms. Aliènette and Ms. Barbara Pravi: Incredibly inspiring voices, performing “Voilà”, and an uplifting song, entitled “A Prayer to Heal” [“Prière pour guérir”]!

Bambi thanks her friend in Central Canada for sharing a musical performance, of a song called Voilà, that gave her goosebumps. Indeed, listening to the TALENTED singer, called Ms. Barbara Pravi, on her phone before closing her eyes to sleep last night put an instant smile on her face, along with a silent tear.

However, beyond this musical discovery, there is Bambi’s wonderful friend who warms her heart each time he inquires about her family in Beirut. Indeed, their enriching 26-year-long friendship is one of the most beautiful blessings of her life. The latter is true at all times, especially when life seems surreal yet sadly not surprising. Merci, cher ami❤️!

As for you dear readers, it is Bambi’s wish that you will enjoy this post with its two songs: Voilà as well as “A Prayer to Heal” [Une prière pour guérir, in French], also shared by her friend. Of note, following the second song, you can find an English translation of its lyrics, as provided by YouTube.

May the healing power of music comfort all the aching hearts. May this beautiful song give us all hope for brighter days for our deeply troubled world, especially (but not only) its Middle East. As for you, Aliènette and Ms. Pravi, thanks for existing. Please keep singing!

It’s nothing

That a pain that lasts and lasts,

It becomes armor or a brake

A beautiful morning

It’s nothing

Everything dies and fades and that’s good

Even the smell of a flower, of a perfume

It all goes away

Everything, we heal from everything

I don’t ask for anything

Even on my knees, I wait, I hold

Yes, I remember everything

We heal from everything

I don’t ask for anything

I hope in everything

It’s nothing,

Yes, it’s part of the way

Because everything passes and trains pass

Until the next one

It’s nothing,

On a world scale, no, nothing

Yes, cherish every second that comes

Cherish yours

Because after all

We heal from everything

I don’t ask for anything

Even on your knees,

I wait, I hold,

Yes, I remember everything

We heal from everything

I don’t ask for anything

I hope in everything

I’m waiting for tomorrow

I’m waiting for tomorrow

And nothing and no one will burn in the summer

Will not impose autumn, in our decided hearts

To not let anyone slow us down, hold us back

I swear I sing it, we’re going to enjoy growing old

We will smile again

We will dream again,

We will love each other again

And even stronger

We are going to grow our hearts until we go crazy and even if it’s scary!

We heal from everything

We heal from everything

I don’t ask for anything

Even on your knees,

I wait, I hold

Yes, I remember everything

We heal from everything

I don’t ask for anything,

I hope in everything

I’m waiting for tomorrow”.

  1. This is Bambi writing to correct herself (sorry for the mistake with names in the original title/version of this post) and thank Ora (or Dr. Itkin, pianist, professor, and… a friend) for sharing a link she discovered about Aliènette (the amazing singer of Voilà): https://youtu.be/uNLsg4_8XCk?si=SM7tXkhrDBCglLkH. Wow!!! So, if she understands well now, these are two different singers (she thought the same at first) filled with incredible talent. Bravo!!
