Yes, she kept humming it, of course singing it like a frog (poor spouse!). Well, this love song, by the Rahbani Brothers, is entitled <em>Kenna netlaka<\/em> min <em>ashiyi<\/em>&#8221; [<em>We used to meet in the evenings<\/em>] . Here is its original version by Lebanon&#8217;s pride, Fairouz, with English sub-titles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed-youtube wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe title=\"Fairouz - Kenna Netla2a (Lyrics EN) \u0641\u064a\u0631\u0648\u0632 - \u0643\u0646\u0627 \u0646\u062a\u0644\u0627\u0642\u064a\" width=\"840\" height=\"473\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/D58tDJfyvfQ?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Now here Ms. Ranya El Hage singing it at a concert in Bahrein with the late and great, Mr. Elias Rahbani. Yes, the latter was\/is the brother of the duo (Rahbani Brothers, Assi and Mansour) mentioned above (<a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Rahbani_brothers\">https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Rahbani_brothers<\/a>). Sadly, Lebanon and the world lost Mr. Elias Rahbani to the coronavirus (as per Bambi&#8217;s older post at the end of this one). May the memory of these three incredibly talented brothers be eternal. Thank Goodness their music will never die, especially when transmitted to us by skilled singers like Ms. El Hage.
