From the English translation fully shown below (<a href=\"https:\/\/bit.ly\/3vWotf1\">https:\/\/bit.ly\/3vWotf1<\/a>), you can learn that her song is about love, precisely about longing to live on another planet&#8230; The song starts with these beautiful lyrics: &#8220;<em><strong>Let&#8217;s be you and I<\/strong><\/em><strong>, <\/strong><em><strong>like stars and clouds in the sky<\/strong><\/em><strong>, w<\/strong><em><strong>e travel to the top and never return back<\/strong><\/em><strong>. <\/strong><em><strong>We abandon this planet and its darkness<\/strong><\/em><strong>&#8230;<\/strong> and it continues like this: &#8221; <em><strong>We spend it with love and longing. We teach those people the meaning of love. We never mention parting, and we colour this world in happiness pink. The life we live without love doesn&#8217;t deserve to be lived<\/strong><\/em>&#8220;.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This being said, Ms. Riad&#8217;s first name is Rahma. It means &#8220;<em>Mercy<\/em>&#8221; in Arabic.  May her song  bring both mercy and love to our entire planet, which may have seemed at times like inhabited by humans with masks, not around their faces and noses to protect others, but around their hearts, blinding the latter to the point of being unable to love others. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On this serious note, Bambi cannot conclude this post without thinking of a deep yet funny chat with her childhood friend Hala who, about a year ago, expressed a similar wish like in this song, for both of them, as a solution to get away from the world&#8217;s problems :). <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Hope you will enjoy the song. Long live love! <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Oui, vive l&#8217;amour&#8230; et merci encore Roula!<\/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=\"Rahma Riad - Al Kawkab [Official Lyric Video] (2021) \/ \u0631\u062d\u0645\u0629 \u0631\u064a\u0627\u0636 - \u0627\u0644\u0643\u0648\u0643\u0628\" width=\"840\" height=\"473\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/vxXcPnqWVDc?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"text-align:center\"><strong><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><em>Planet<\/em><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"text-align:center\">&#8220;<em>Let&#8217;s be you and I<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"text-align:center\"><em>Like\nstars and clouds in the sky<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"text-align:center\"><em>We travel\nto the top and never return back<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"text-align:center\"><em>We\nabandon this planet and its darkness<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"text-align:center\"><em>Alone we\nfly and soar<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"text-align:center\"><em>We put a\nlittle star in the sky<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"text-align:center\"><em>And we\npaint our love in air<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"text-align:center\"><em>We spend\nit with love and longing<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"text-align:center\"><em>We teach\nthose people the meaning of love<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"text-align:center\"><em>We never\nmention parting<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"text-align:center\"><em>And we\ncolour this world in happiness pink<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"text-align:center\"><em>The life\nwe live without love<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"text-align:center\"><em>It doesn&#8217;t deserve to be live<\/em>d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"text-align:center\"><em>Let me\ntell you about my longing<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"text-align:center\"><em>To see\nwhat your love has done to me<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"text-align:center\"><em>The more\ntime extend between us<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"text-align:center\"><em>I feel\nlike it has just begun<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"text-align:center\"><em>Put your\nhand in mine until the day we die<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"text-align:center\"><em>You won&#8217;t\nlose and you know<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"text-align:center\"><em>You&#8217;re my\nmagnificent dream<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"text-align:center\"><em>You&#8217;re\nthe happiest coincidence in my life<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"text-align:center\"><em>You make\nme live the best days,<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"text-align:center\"><em>Make me\nforget all my sorrows,<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"text-align:center\"><em>Your name\nis the map of my life,<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"text-align:center\"><em>Your eyes\nare my address,<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"text-align:center\"><em>Without\nyou, my life has no taste,<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"text-align:center\"><em>Empty and has no meaning<\/em>&#8220;.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/bambisafkar.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/heart-14.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-23626\" width=\"187\" height=\"187\" srcset=\"https:\/\/bambisafkar.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/heart-14.jpg 300w, https:\/\/bambisafkar.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/heart-14-150x150.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 187px) 85vw, 187px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Bambi would like to thank her sister Roula for making her discover this talented Iraqi singer called Rahma Riad.
