Fairuz was born Nouhad Haddad in Jabal al Arz, Lebanon. She began her musical career as a teenager. From chorus girl at the Lebanese radio station in the late 1940s, to critical and popular acclaim from the 1950s to today, Fairuz is acknowledged not only for her musical talent and contribution, but also as a cultural and political icon. A symbol of a people, a heritage, a quest for peace, and of humanity. During most of her career, Fairuz reflected two other great artists, Assi and Mansour Rahbani. They wrote the lyrics and composed her tunes. Today, many of her songs reflect the composing talent of Ziad Rahbani who is Fairuz's son. Her songs testify to the Rahbani musical genius, as well as to Fairuz's broad musical background. Referred to as "The Soul of Lebanon" in the 1970s, Fairuz became a pre-eminent figure, a superstar of current music in the Arab world. Together, the Rahbani family is both a school of music and a cultural phenomenon.
Oumn
Fairuz Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
أؤمن انَ خلفَ الليل العاتي ألأمواجِ يعلو سراج
أؤمن أنَ القلبَ المُلقى في ألأحزان يلقى الحنان
كُلي أيمان ايمان أيمان
أؤمن أنَ خلفَ الريحِ الهوجاءِ شِفاهٌ تتلو الصلاة
أؤمن أن في صمتِ الكونِ المُقفلْ من يصغي لي
أني إذ ترنو عينايَ للسماء تصفوا ألأضواء تعلو ألألحان
كُلي أيمان أيمان أيمان
The song "Oumn" by Fairuz expresses the belief that there is beauty and goodness behind every darkness and every hardship. The lyrics speak of faith in the power of love, in the guidance of a higher power, and in the ability of the heart to find comfort in times of sorrow. The first line declares a belief in the existence of gardens that are blooming behind the somber-looking grains. The second line implies that even in the darkest of nights, the waves of the sea are illuminated by a lantern, and there is a way to find light amid the darkness. The third line talks about the idea that the heart that is enveloped in sadness can still find comfort and embrace when in need.
The chorus of the song, "Kulli Iman" - which roughly translates to "All faith" - reinforces the central theme of the song. "All faith" means that the person has faith in everything that surrounds them, and that they look for the good even in times of hardship. Finally, the last two lines talk about how the person believes that there are lips that recite prayers behind the wild winds, and that even in the silence of closed universe, there is someone out there listening to them. It communicates a sense of hope and reassurance that even when things seem bleak, there is something positive and redeeming in every situation.
