Akendni Maak
Fadl Shaker Lyrics

The song "Akendni Maak" by Fadl Shaker is a romantic ballad that speaks of a desire to be with the person one loves. The opening lines, "Akendni Maak bel jaw el helo, khalleeni maak asrah ya helo," which translate to "Take me with you in this beautiful weather, let me fly with you, oh sweet one," express a longing to escape reality and be with the beloved. The lyrics continue to praise the beauty and words of the loved one, saying that they are extraordinary and not ordinary. The desire to be with the beloved is further emphasized in the lines, "Shu biddi dala'a ala sawt el dalaa', ghafini? Shu biddak gharam leil el gharam, ghanni li," which roughly translate to "What do I need to hear to be comforted by your voice? What do you want, love of the night of love? Sing to me." The lyrics also speak of promises of safety and meeting in a certain place to forget about time and sing.

Throughout the song, there is a sense of being under the spell of the beloved. The line "Meshi ma'i sahrani hal qalb, ismi 'amandaha hala," which translates to "Walk with me, enchant my heart, my name is Amandaha," suggests that the singer's heart is being enchanted by the person they love, to the point where they no longer recognize their own name. The repetition of the phrase "khayalak khayal, khayalak khayal" which translates to "Your imagination, your imagination, your imagination, your imagination," adds to the dreamy, spell-like quality of the song.

Overall, the song is a beautiful expression of love and desire to be with the beloved, set against a dreamy and enchanting backdrop.
