As an Arab musician/pianist trained in classical music, he constantly searches for new forms of expression to equally appeal to his "Eastern" and "Western" listeners. To date, Suleiman composed several albums which have placed the "Eastern" piano in the centre of the composition, ranging from solo piano compositions to quartets, quintets, arrangements for choir and full orchestras.
He released a number of albums and musical projects such as : "Login", "Three Steps", "Mud", "Opening of the Palestinian Museum", "Al-Bashiq", "Love in the Cloud", "Once Upon a City”, "Love Without a Story”, “Toy Box” and lately his first songs album “Second Verse”. He also composed music for theatre and film.
Volcanic Winter
Faraj Suleiman Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
من فتحة البركان
بعوّي البرد فيي
وبتطفي الألوان
بتسوَد غابات الفرح
بتتقطّع أقواس القزح
وبيطير نهري للبحر من فوق سدّك
ومن ما نِشِف دجلة بتنشف
لهفتي الأولى من الشامة ع خدّك
لما ينزل الثلج
من فتحة البركان
بعوّي البرد فيي
وبتطفي الألوان
بولد فيل من الضباب
بركض هارب من سراب
بِسمَع بصحراء الصمت صبّار ردك
كل م بيّنت قوارب
وطلّ السّفر يتمايل بِمدّك
فجأة بنزل الثلج
من فتحة البركان
بعوّي البرد فيي
وبتطفي الألوان
برجع رحّال الندم
حامل أفكار العدم
يسقيني زيت الخوف من راحات يدّك
يحكي قصص قبل النوم
تيغفى المحيط الهادي ع تختك
The lyrics to Faraj Suleiman's song "Volcanic Winter" describe the impact of snowfall from a volcanic eruption. The cold breeze that comes with the snow extinguishes the vibrant colors of nature, turning once vibrant forests into dark places of discomfort. The imagery reflects a sense of isolation and despair, with even the river drying up, leaving behind only memories. The song implies that the devastating effects of volcanic winter are all-encompassing.
The track further describes a surreal emotional journey, with the singer expressing their sense of despair and regret at the end of a journey that has perhaps made them feel lost. The final verse sees the singer somberly referencing the story by mentioning "returning travelers of regret, carrying the ashes of nothing." The melancholy of this phrase is compounded by the description of the singer drinking "fear oil" from the palms of someone's hands.
Overall, the song brings forth vivid yet poetic imagery that explores the impact of a volcanic winter from different perspectives, encompassing the external world and internal emotions.

لما بنزل الثلج
When the snow falls
من فتحة البركان
From the opening of the volcano
بعوّي البرد فيي
The cold howls inside me
وبتطفي الألوان
And extinguishes the colors
بتسوَد غابات الفرح
The forests of joy turn black
بتتقطّع أقواس القزح
The rainbows break apart
وبيطير نهري للبحر من فوق سدّك
And my river flows into the sea over your dam
ومن ما نِشِف دجلة بتنشف
And as soon as the Tigris dries up, it withers
لهفتي الأولى من الشامة ع خدّك
My first longing from the mole on your cheek
بولد فيل من الضباب
A lost elephant from the mist
بركض هارب من سراب
Runs away from the mirage
بِسمَع بصحراء الصمت صبّار ردك
I hear the cactus of your rejection in the desert of silence
كل م بيّنت قوارب
Every time boats appear
وطلّ السّفر يتمايل بِمدّك
And the prospect of travel sways with your tide
فجأة بنزل الثلج
Suddenly the snow falls
من فتحة البركان
From the opening of the volcano
بعوّي البرد فيي
The cold howls inside me
وبتطفي الألوان
And extinguishes the colors
برجع رحّال الندم
I return as a traveler of regret
حامل أفكار العدم
Carrying thoughts of nothingness
يسقيني زيت الخوف من راحات يدّك
You feed me the oil of fear from the palms of your hands
يحكي قصص قبل النوم
Tells bedtime stories
تيغفى المحيط الهادي ع تختك
And the Pacific Ocean falls asleep under your bed

when the snow falls down from the volcan top
chills bark inside of me
and shut down all color
blackened the forest of bliss
ripped apart every rainbow
my river flies to the sea above your dam
when the snow falls down from the volcan top
chills bark inside of me
and shut down all color
blackened the forest of bliss
ripped apart every rainbow
my river flies to the sea above your dam
as the Tigris ran dry
So will my craving, for the freckle upon your cheek
when the snow falls down from the volcan top
chills bark inside of me
and shut down all color
An elephant is born from the fog
Runs away, fleeing the mirage
in the desert of silence
listens for the thorns of your reply
Whenever boats appear
And the sail comes out swaying in your flow
Suddenly the snow falls down
from the volcano top
chills bark inside of me
and shut down all color
The traveler of regret returns
Carrying thoughts of nihilism
waters me with oil of fear from upon your palms
Telling bedtime stories
For the pacific ocean to fall asleep upon your bed
