Hasna el-Becharia-Hakmet lakdar

One of my favorite songs from a long time ago…

 

 

Translation (rougher than usual):

 

 I am here by fate, my friend, by fate I am here, my cousin…
Where can I find you, poor you?
All my friends have betrayed me
God and my parents are all that I have
By fate I am here, and it’s God who wanted it, by fate I am here…
