The lyrics to Mashrou Leila's song "Habibi" are in Arabic, so I will provide a translation in English and then explain the meaning behind the lyrics. The song talks about love and longing, expressing the intense emotions experienced in a romantic relationship.
"Where should I begin with you, my darling?
I’ve kept the secrets for too long, my darling
There’s a lot to say, a lot to say
There’s a lot to say, a lot to say"
These lines convey the singer's struggle to express their feelings to their beloved. The use of the term "darling" or "habibi" signifies a deep love and affection. The repetition of the phrase "there's a lot to say" emphasizes the weight of what the singer wants to express.
"My lover, tell the sorrows, I’ve aged on them
And their long nights on the edges
And the people are burning, around the windows of your selfishness
And I don't care much about the results, just give me your hands"
In this verse, the singer addresses their lover, asking them to share their sorrows and burdens. The references to aged sorrows and long nights suggest a history of pain and longing. The mention of people burning around the windows of their lover's selfishness hints at the negative effects of egoism. The plea for their lover's hands illustrates the singer's desire for connection and emotional support.
Overall, the lyrics of "Habibi" portray the complexities and depth of love, expressing both the joys and challenges experienced within a relationship.

Ever since I discovered this band some five or six years ago, I have tried to get my friends to appreciate it, but they just don't get it. I don't see how anyone can listen to (and watch) Mashrou Leila and not fall in love with them. I saw them live in Detroit and it was one of the best shows I've ever experienced. I also hear their music in the soundtracks of just about any TV show or movie from Lebanon or Jordan.
Other Favorites of mine:
Tinariwen ⵜⵏⵔⵓⵏ - Tuaregs from Mali, great Rock with a Berber flair
Shahin Najafi - From Iran but lives in Germany. Very eclectic, ranging from rap to pop to classical. Magical voice.
Oum - From Morocco, has also gone through phases, i.e. hip-hop, but has settled on a beautiful style
The Wanton Bishops - From Lebanon, but they do songs in English with a Mississippi Blues flair
If anyone reading this does not know these groups, please check them out. My world has changed drastically since finding them.

Lyrics:
He never blames himself
Everything happens against his will
Nothing's wrong with him ..
What is wrong with him ?
X2
My lover speaks a foreign language
And lisps while speaking aghabic* (arabic)
Look at how the book crumbles under the bed
The smell of your hair on the sheets beside me
People roaming in their cars outside the window
And i'm sitting here like soil , lost between your hands
@sayaya1304

You have great taste ❤️
@BooLee01
@@saidakhaffou5595 Thank you. It's definitely not mainstream, at least not in the world where I live.
@zakariabijit4100
How it comes we have so much in common in music ? Also try Labess Algerian folklore mixed with gnawa and try Neta Elkayam Jewish Moroccan music, and if you like some indie/rock oriental try jadal and akher zaphire
@BooLee01
@@zakariabijit4100 Oh, I forgot to mention Neta Elkayam. I do love her music. I will check out the others you've mentioned. Thanks for the suggestions.

I really like Al Jamilat, Deny, and Hal. They are in my Mix Cd.
