Kazem el-Saher - Do You Love Me?

Do you still love me after what has been?
I still love you in spite of what has been...
I do not intend to talk about your past.
It suffices me that you are here now.
When you smile to me and hold my hands, my doubts turn into certainty.
Yesterday, don't you ever mention. Just do your hair and eyelids and be glamorous.
Your minor mistakes, I will get past them and turn the thorns into sweet basil
Without love in his being, man wouldn't be a man.
One year has passed, yet you are still precious to me.
I couldn't get past you or my love for you.
I love you, how could I burn up our history. It has got our temples, newspapers, cups of coffee and corners.
We were very childish in our behavior.
Our proud words are funny, how stupid they were and so were we.
You would leave feeling so upset and I would be hard on you sometimes.
Maybe we haven't been writing each other or giving each other gifts.
No matter how much we hated each other, love is greater than our mistakes.
Your eyes are like two Aprils. How possibly could I murder the April in your eyes?
We were destined to be together sweetheart, in spite of what has been.
The garden would have no choice if its branches sprouted leaves
This love was the light inside us. It would accompany us and our talks.
It has caused us sorrows. Yet, we still need it.
Even though it could cause us more sorrows and tears. Hold out your hands to me, you are my lily and my love, in spite of what has been….


كاظم الساهر - أتحبني

كلمات : نزار قباني
ألحان : كاظم الساهر

أتحبُني . بعد الذي كانا ؟
إني أحبُكِ رغم ما كانا

ماضيكِ . لا أنوي إثارتَهَ
حسبي بأنّكِ هاهنا الآنا

تبتسمينَ .. وتُمسكين يدي
فيعودُ شكّي فيكِ إيمانًا

عن أمسِ . لا تتكلمي أبدًا
وتألقي شَعرًا .. وأجفانًا

أخطاؤكِ الصُغرى .. أمرُّ بها
وأحولُ الأشواكَ ريحانًا

لولا المحبةُ في جوانحِهِ
ما أصبحَ الإنسانُ إنسانًا

عامٌ مضى . وبقيتِ غاليةً
لا هُنتِ أنتِ ولا الهوى هانا

إنّي أحبُكِ . كيف يمكنني ؟
أنْ أشعلَ التاريخَ نيرانًا

وبهِ معابدُنا ، جرادُنا
أقداحُ قهوتِنا ، زوايانا

طفلينِ كنّا .. في تصرُفنا
وغرورِنا ، وضلالِ دعوانا

كلماتُنا الرعناءُ .. مضحكةٌ
ما كانَ أغباها .. وأغبانا

فلكمْ ذهبتِ وأنتِ غاضبةٌ
ولكمْ قسوتُ عليكِ أحيانًا

ولربما انقطعتْ رسائلُنا
ولربما انقطعتْ هدايانا

مهما غَلَوْنا في عداوتِنا
فالحبُّ أكبرُ من خطايانا

عيناكِ نَيْسَانانِ .. كيفَ أنا
أغتالُ في عينيكِ نيْسَانا ؟

قدرٌ علينا أن نكونَ معًا
يا حلوتي . رغم الذي كانا

إنّ الحديقةَ لا خيارَ لها
إنْ أطلعَتْ ورقًا وأغصانًا

هذا الهوى ضوءٌ بداخلنا
ورفيقُنا .. ورفيقُ نجوانا

طفلٌ نداريهِ ونعبدُهُ
مهما بكى معنا .. وأبكان
ا
أحزاننا منهُ .. ونسألُهُ
لو زادنا دمعًا .. وأحزانًا

هاتي يديْكِ .. فأنتِ زنبقتي
وحبيبتي . رغم الذي كانا
