Om Kalthoum Song on OUD أغنية أم كلثوم: بعيد عنك/على العود

I'm playing the intro of Om Kalthoum's lovely song, Ba3eed 3annak (i.e., Being away from you....is torture !), solo on Oud.
The composer is Baleegh Hamdi, poet is Ma'moon Shinnawi. The song was first declared to the public back in 1965, but is still fresh till today !
Hope you like it.

Thanks to ruhiaini for the following lyrics translation:

Beeid Annak by Om Kulthoum 11-8-07

I've forgotten what it's like to sleep and dream
And can't tell night from day
When you're far away from me, my life is torture
With no companion but my tears
Longing for you has won the battle & test of endurance
Nights alone without you have burned out life's candles
But no matter how sleepless & wasted I live without you
And no matter how arduous the nights become thinking of you
The fires of my love are dauntless and won't ever be extinguished
Nor will the days I spend without you ever
Keep me away from loving you

Without sleep and no tears left
As I shed them all longing for you
My passion and the pain
And the fears and delusions
I fear for you but fear that you'll forget me
And not having you with me keeps me awake without sleep
Oh the pain of missing you
Burns away nights' candles
But no matter how sleepless I am longing for you
And no matter how not having you agonizes me
The fires of my love are dauntless and won't be extinguished
Nor will the torture of missing you
Keep me away from loving you

Think of a precious moment of love we spent together
Remember a song that we listened to together
Take away all of my life
Except for the moments I spent with you
None of it counts or matters
But oh, what am I to do with the torture of missing you?
To heal it, I try to speak of to relieve the pain
And for another hour, I console myself for not having you
I have lost this battle of surviving being away from you
And night's candles are burnt out thinking of you
But no matter how great the agony
My passion will always burn for you
And the torture of missing you
Won't ever keep me away from wanting you

Thank you Very much for this. (Consider the source, but it's Brilliant.)...And for the English lyrics. Which are Excruciating; at 1st reading, I couldn't get past the 1st verse!

Recently, some oud playing on NPR reminded me of how, in the troubadour literature (/medieval European secular music), Arabic secular music was a little like what R & B has been to American popular music for the past half century and more. Which is to say, the foundation upon which everything was built.

Thank you again.
