A Sense of Doubt blog post #2951 - Yasmine Hamdan - "Hal" - Music Week 2023 #010

I did not know of Yasmine Hamdan until I saw her galvanic, seething, seering performance of "Hal" in Jim Jarmusch's Only Lovers Left Alive, which I have seen at least three times, I forget.

I was immediately a fan.

I did not know that she collaborated with CocoRosie, another favorite band.

Cool.

Thanks for tuning in.

حل (Hal)

أهواك ..

وإن مر يوم من غير رؤياك

أنساك ..

واشمعنى المرة دي رسماك

الشوق يحرك الحنين ومن القلب

الليل يطول والنهار يعدي بالقلب

 

يا هشة عَ قلبي

الفرقة تئلمني

أنا ما عندي حل ..

أنا ما عندي حل ..

لا قلبي يحب مرة

لا قلبي يحن مرة

Solution

Versions: #1#2

I love you1

And if a day passes without seeing you22

I forget you

And what does imagining you mean this time

Longing stirs the nostalgia in my heart

The night stretches on and the day passes backwards

 

You who left my heart fragile

This separation is paining me3

I don't have a solution

I don't have a solution

No, my heart loved once4

No, my heart softened once

1. This and the third line are taken from the opening lines of Ahwak by Abdel Halim Hafez which are "I love you / and I wish I could forget you"

2. In Awedt Einy by Umm Kulthum, she says "I accustomed my eyes to seeing you [...] and if a day passes without seeing you, it does not count as a day"

3. this & the previous line are based off the lyrics of Ya Jarha Galbi by Najah Salam (Galbi by soapkills - yasmine's old band - is a cover of this song): the original lyrics are "you who has wounded my heart, the wound is paining me"

4. this is from In Rah Minnak Ya 3en by Shadia; Shadia's full lyric is "the heart loves once, it doesn't love twice"

- Days ago = 2815 days ago

- New note - On 1807.06, I ceased daily transmission of my Hey Mom feature after three years of daily conversations. I plan to continue Hey Mom posts at least twice per week but will continue to post the days since ("Days Ago") count on my blog each day. The blog entry numbering in the title has changed to reflect total Sense of Doubt posts since I began the blog on 0705.04, which include Hey Mom posts, Daily Bowie posts, and Sense of Doubt posts. Hey Mom posts will still be numbered sequentially. New Hey Mom posts will use the same format as all the other Hey Mom posts; all other posts will feature this format seen here.
