The lyrics to Fairuz's song Al Thaniah convey the message of a love that transcends seasons. The singer expresses her deep and enduring love for someone, professing that she loved them in the summer and the winter, and waited for them eagerly during both seasons. The repetition of the phrase "حبيتك" (I loved you) reinforces the intensity of her emotions, suggesting that this love is all-encompassing and all-consuming.
The use of the two seasons also adds a layer of metaphorical meaning to the lyrics. While summer is typically associated with warmth, brightness and light, winter is often seen as a time of darkness, cold and isolation. By declaring her love for the person in both seasons, the singer suggests that their love is strong enough to survive even the toughest of times. She also implies that her love has the power to illuminate the darkest of moments, providing a ray of hope and warmth in the coldness of winter.
Overall, Fairuz's Al Thaniah is a beautiful expression of enduring love that can withstand the test of time and seasons, and imbues the toughest moments with hope and light.
