Wa Habibi, Good Friday Hymn sung by Fairouz

[majnoun1111111]

wow Fairuz, your voice is from heaven.

peace to all the Lebanese people

[belvedere416]

This is the tune sung at 14 stations of the cross on Good Friday in Cebu, Philippines. I thought it's a Filipino tune. Now I know it is Arabic. Very spiritual.

[ahmadmawed]

I love it, everytime I hear it I immediately cry.

[jetsebutenpost]

how beautiful, how beautiful

[giacaman56]

Beautiful music indeed, but not a Fairuz original. The melody is borrowed from a piece called "Que ne suis-je une fougère", a French poem with the music attributed to either Pergolesi or Albanese.

Still, very appropriate for Eastern rite Good Friday.

[SwedenEurope]

Crying every time I listen to it. My brother died of cancer. The last day he told me.''Please, my brother, I want to listen to Fairouz Wa Habibi so I can fall asleep''And that was the last day I heard his voice: (. Thank you Jesus for taking him to you <3 Love you, my king!

[marlenebraun208]

Wonderful Fairuz is Orthodox Christian.

Beautiful Thank you, i used to have all these songs on a cassatte, but I cannot listen to it anymore.

[AgiosGiorgios]

@SIUIIRAQ Just google 'Fairuz Good Friday Eastern Sacred Songs' and you will find all the songs and where you can buy the CD.

[shunkahato]

@SIUIIRAQ Search for "Good Friday: Eastern Sacred Songs" by Fairuz on Amazon.com. From there you will have the option of purchasing either an imported CD for 14.95 or downloading songs from the MP3 album (.89 cents USD each or $5.99 USD for the entire album).

Enjoy!

[jimloveslord]

This is the same tune we have in our traditional Mar Thoma (St.Thomas Nazrani) christian churches in Kerala (west coast of South India). This song is sung during Good Friday and also during Holy Communion service.

See this video (a bit commercial adaptation, and not exactly like how we normally sing in churches)

[slop06]

O Christians until when will we be persecuted in our own lands? Jesus i come to you with broken heart after being hurt by my own people of Pakistan?

[parelhutahaean]

@slop06 I'm sorry to hear that. Keep praying, my friend.

[ILLVILLE]

@slop06 hang in there brothers & sister, we are all with you, and when its time we will come to liberate you from satan! our prayers go out to you and every persecuted christian all around the world!

[septolive]

@groundboy16 , it's Boutros.

@groundboy16

Botros =)

[Enigmatik691]

@groundboy16 Boutros

[nannygoatj]

Fairouz lets the words from her mouth like small birds emerging from a protected nest; they fly so tentatively and sweetly, like each word has been lovingly crafted in God's own hands and coated with gold and crystal.

[deltadeltakilo]

Lovely indeed.

[quebeckromeovictor]

Just beautiful! Thanks for sharing.

[konig82new]

Exchelent song of the orthodox arabs! You can find the Greek orthodox version here:

[Chichiri520]

The images used in this video were the same ones used for the procession of the stations of the cross at my church for Holy Friday. I always get goosebumps on this day and have a strong urge to cry when I see the images of Christ being carried to the calvary. I get that big knot in my throat and feel as if Im really there.

[SwedenEurope]

Thank you for everything you have done for me..Amen AND Amen!<3

fairuz is the best, long live the Syriac Aramean people

نحن الآراميين

يحيا الشعب الآرامي السرياني

[thedabick]

please, help me,, I am looking for catholic music in Arabic style,of any catholic church.

[AgiosGiorgios]

@thedabick personally I think the Melkite Catholic Church has the best music, because it is the Byzantine rite in arabic. Chaldean, Syriac, and Maronite churches are officially Aramaic speaking, but do have some Arabic hymns too. Check out my channel.

[chaldeanshaqlawa]

this song is so nice

[MrsVil]

This makes me miss my Situ.

[bleudancer]

Every time I listen to this hymn I feel the pain of every mother who lost a son or loved one. God bless all people on earth and peace to their hearts. God is love...

Jesus sacrifices himself to save us from our sins.

[ihsanhanna]

awsome................

[ggrean]

May God bless you all my brothers and sisters in Christ. May God bless our Christian brothers and sisters in the Middle East who suffer and who die for our religion.

[roger773277]

[TheAlexius2010]

AMEN!!!!!!!

[graceinmay]

amen, bro! God bless you. God's love has been poured out for us in Christ. we know God loves us, because God came and showed us His love, by giving us Himself. He wanted to. that kind of love, the mind can not comprehend.

[ABADANUS]

Through his weakness, he has showed us great strength

[NativeNewYorkGuy]

I have heard this song most of my life and it has always touched and moved me.

And I understand very little Arabic.

[anthonyflouty]

i love you jesus .... may u bless my familly and beloved and all the people around the world .... may ure peace and big heart hug the earth and fullfill it with love and hapiness ....

i repeat i love you jesus

amen

thanks fairuz for this ...

[Ura293]

Here in Russia we have a long tradition of Orthodox Christian music and there is not that much that can impress us beyond our tradition, but this song and especially the way Fairouz is singing it takes all national and cultural borders away - she is touching my heart in such a way that I do believe she is blessed by the God to remind us about His Love.

[graceinmay]

yes, thank you, Jesus. let us not forget to say this, everyday. thank you for posting this beautiful song, Fairoz is amazing and it's great to hear her use her beautiful voice to glorify Christ. it is such a sad tune, and it should be sad. but there is joy at the end of the story.

[FAROUJA1]

Thanks for sharing, pray for our brothers and sisters christians in Egypte.

[batarsehf]

Amazing Song....Thank You Jesus for you died for us on the cross...as the Bilble says 1Ti 2:5 For there is one God and one Mediator between God and men, the Man Christ Jesus, who gave Himself a ransom for all...Jesus Chris is Real and alive and when you pray He will hear you,,,

[SwedenEurope]

Thank you for your comment, feel relieved for my brother, of Jesus and the Cross force is my brother cured: (<3

[SwedenEurope]

Please Jesus do a miracle with my brother, he is suffering from cancer = (I beg you, BIG LOVE

[konig82]

Amazin song! You can find the Greek version under the title "mana mou mana" or "ΜΑΝΑ ΜΟΥ ΜΑΝΑ"

[anaalinsan]

I love Fairouz, she sings this song beautifully. My grandmother sang this song before she passed away and it is close to my heart.

[Eliemet1979]

pretty song in front of the show bread

[bchick1987]

this is truly beautiful

[kiwehtin]

Search for this text in YouTube and you will find the Arabic lyrics with English and Russian translations under the "more info" link in the grey box at the top right of the page:

Woe my Beloved. وا حبيبي. Wa Habibi. Горе моего Возлюбленного

The melody itself is an old Occitan melody sung for the song "Adieu paure carneval" (Goodbye poor Carnaval). You find the same rhythm in dozens of Occitan songs.

[prosepp]

absolutely great !

[gripei73]

its very sad that this tune is dying out in india because we keep on singing it in our native language, which is not so beautiful it being a hindu language...could you have the lyrics in arabic but readable in english? shlomo :)

[gripei73]

this is the holiest version ive heard....As said before we do have this same tune in India but it is dying out because we always sing it in our native language...its very sad because people never realize its true beauty in arabic/aramaic...could you have the lyrics in arabic but able to read in english? shlomo :)

[Francis1930]

This is a beautiful interpretation of a common Catholic hymn tune, sung during Lent, God of Mercy and Compasssion, Look with pity upon me; Father let me call Thee Father, 'Tis thy child returns to Thee. Jesus Lord I ask for mercy; Let me not implore in vain; All my sins I now detest them, Never will I sin again.

[AgiosGiorgios]

I honestly did not know that. Now we have a new "who came first?" argument.

[ritajafar]

Although I'm a Muslim. I still felt this. Very touching and so spiritual. One of my favorites

[cassioalves0904]

@ritajafar My beloved muslim friend, congratulations for your words.

Muslims, christians and jews are brothers.Brothers to seek peace for our beloved land.Israel, Lebanon and Palestine.

Greetings for a brazilian, grandson of lebanese people, who loves his two homelands.

Parabéns pelas suas palavras.Muçulmanos, cristãos e judeus são irmãos.Irmaõs na busca de paz pra nossa amada terra.Israel, Líbano e Palestina.

Abraços de um brasileiro neto de libaneses, que ama suas duas pátrias.

[shookoneskiller92]

@ritajafar if u felt it, that means theres a part of you that loves Jesus..if you can love Jesus then soon enough your eyes will be opened and you will see that he is equal to God. Peace :)

[SwedenEurope]

@ritajafar God Bless brother

[muffymyangel]

This is a very moving and emotional hymn

[FamilyPrisonerBlues]

What does "Ya Oum Allah" mean ?

 Do Arabic speaking Christians also call God by the name of "Allah" ?, so is Allah just the Arabic name for God no matter what religion you are ?, do you refer to God the Father as "Allah" in Arabic ? What about Jesus, do you ( Arabic speaking Christians ) also call Him "Allah" since He is God the son ? I am really curious about these questions and would really like to have them answered by an Arabic speaking Christian.

[AgiosGiorgios]

Alot of questions. Ya oum allah means O mother of God. Yes Christians call god Allah in Arabic. Allah just means God no matter what religion you are. Allah comes from the Aramaic word Alaha, and that is used by Aramaic speaking Christians. God the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit are each and collectively called Allah because in Christianity we believe each person of the Holy Trinity is God, and there is One God. Al-Ab, Al-Ibn, and Al Rohh Al Quddous, mean the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.

[FamilyPrisonerBlues]

Thank you for answering my questions.  Are there still Christians around these days who use Aramaic in their Liturgy or are you refering to the early Christians of the past who were the contemporaries of the Apostles ( the first Christians around the time of Christ and the Apostles ) ?

[AgiosGiorgios]

Chaldeans, Maronites, Assyrians, and Syriacs all speak classical Aramaic in their Divine Liturgies. These ethnically Aramaic groups speak a modern form of Aramaic/Syriac in daily life as well. The language never died out, it just became more modern and easier to use in daily life.

[FamilyPrisonerBlues]

What does Wa Habibi mean ?

[AgiosGiorgios]

The description on the right has the complete lyrics in Arabic and English.

[protopresvyter]

Alas, My Beloved!

[MounaConnectee]

Très belle chanson de Fairuz, je ne savais pas que c'était sur Jésus. Thanks for the lyrics.

Salam à nos frères chrétiens.

[nigeldoor876]

hey thanks alot! can you just clarify something for me, the 13th and the 14th stations are the same, do they actually differ, and if so, how?

[AgiosGiorgios]

sorry about the confusion, the fourteenth station is actually "jesus is laid into the tomb", it was a mistake i overlooked when making the video last year and it's too late to fix it because i can't find the file i saved to make it :(

[resuscitatorrijeka]

It is truly wonderful, I do not understand any word but it one of those unbelievably touching songs.

[petrusninos]

[warszawianka]

I am Orthodox Christian but I still find the Maronite hymns, especially this one by Fairuz, are beautiful testaments to the glory of God.

[yohanun]

I agree. Fairuz was Syriac Orthodox but then became Melkite Orthodox :)

[hounds2u]

Beautiful! Awesome and annointed...

Thank you for sharing.

[mireille4joe]

The Cedars of GOD swayed when they heard her voice. Then God was amused ! Her voice does come not from earth but Heaven. God bless all of you out there who do believe in peace and love one another.

يا يسوع المسيح...ايها الرب الهنا، يا ذبيحا رُفعت على الصليب، رفعت الخليقة نحو باريها العجيب، انت هو ملكنا القدير، عود الصليب عرشك، وتاجك الشوك، وصولجانك المسامير..ندعوك يا رب ان تنتهي الآم اللبنانيين، وتتوقف جلجلتهم.....انت صرخت على الصليب الهي الهي لماذا تركتني؟ نحن نصرخ اليك الهنا الهنا نحن تركناك اعدنا اليك.....يا يسوع... استجب لدعاءنا اليوم وغدا وبعده وفي كل الايام الى دهر الداهرين....

you are correct, i never said it was just us, it is also Lebanese, Coptic, Palestinan, Syriac, etc. Christians that are persecuted for our true faith since the times of Mohammed. I think i make it obvious who it is to blame for the persecution we have.
