Bravo to Mr. Amine Hachem, the MOST HIGHLY talented Lebanese-American “operatic and crossover tenor” (https://tinyurl.com/yc4t52xu) for the grandiose performance of his new Arabic love song. Of note, the latter was filmed at the Casino du Liban Theatre.
Following the song (subtitled in English), if you are curious, you can read the copied and pasted YouTube text informing us about this performance’s creators, along with the song lyrics in both Arabic and English.
When Bambi listened to the song, she was captivated and instantly transported to a VERY pleasant state of mind (like euphoria). The unique harmony between the music and the lyrics, along with some surprising milestones of the musical story, kept transporting her as follows: from grandiose musical moments, to lighter ones, and back to more solemn moments. Indeed, she found herself too focused on the powerful words and the great music, then clapping hands to music, and even dancing in front of her computer screen in some “oriental” movements, along with a deep urge of Dabke dancing.
For those magical moments described above to the best of her capacity, many thanks to Mr. Hachem et al. for this masterpiece. Most significantly, many thanks for spreading beauty, talent, and love in our troubled world!

ARABIC | ENGLISH LYRICS
رماني قدري على ضفافِ العمر Fate cast me upon the shores of life,
زادني ألقهُ وهجاً وكِبَر its radiance awakened my light and ennobled my spirit.
أنا مَن أنا يا حبيبتي؟ Who am I, my love?
أنا الذي ناداني حبُّكِ I am the one your love has summoned,
أنا الذي ناداني حبُّكِ the one it chose,
وكان صاحبَ الأمر and I surrender to its will.
غنّاكِ القلبُ شداكِ الحب My heart sings to you, whispered by love,
يا مُنّةَ العينِ يا فرحةَ العمر desire of my eyes, joy of my life.
خَطَفْتُكِ أميرة على عرشِ قلبي I claimed you, ruler of my heart.
أنتِ فرحتي وبهجتي You are my joy, the song within me.
بحبِّكِ أُقسِم ألفَ ولاء By my love for you, I swear a thousand vows.
ستبقينَ أُنشودةَ عمري You will remain the anthem of my life (my eternal refrain).
غنّاكِ القلبُ شدّاكِ الحب My heart sings to you, whispered by love,
يا مُنّةَ العينِ يا فرحةَ العمر desire of my eyes, joy of my life.
أُنشودةَ قلبي O hymn of my heart,
لهيبَ شوقي fire of my yearning,
أميرةَ عرشي ruler of my being,
حبيبتي my beloved.
أُنشودةَ قلبي O hymn of my heart,
لهيبَ شوقي fire of my yearning,
أميرةَ عرشي ruler of my being,
حبيبتي my beloved.
