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. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The translated lyrics are taken from the YouTube<\/em> video below:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Tell me, my daughter,<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

A bedtime\nstory <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tell me,\neven if,<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

You haven\u2019t\nyet learned your words <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Speak to me,\nwithout speaking..<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

A smile on\nyour lips would do it<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I would hide\nit in my heart,<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Maybe then,\nI\u2019d forget about my sorrows <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Your broken\nletters: I guess at them, and laugh<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Your awkward\nwords: they\u2019re so sweet,<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I understand\nthem the way I want to!<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I use them\nto make up a story,<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

And I tell\nit,<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

And every\nnight I wait for it,<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

And I fall\nasleep, <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

before I get\nto its ending <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I miss all\nthe tales<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Of princes\nand of fairies <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Of treasures\nand of mermaids <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

On forgotten\npages <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bring me all those coloured books<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

So I can\ntravel back to the age of innocence <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

And tell me\nhow beautiful this world is<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

So I can see\nits beauty<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

And if,\ntonight, you don\u2019t feel like talking <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

At least\nsing me a lullaby, <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

with that\nsweet voice of yours <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

And let my\neyes rest,<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

To a world of peace.<\/em>“<\/p>\n\n\n\n
