Nizar Qabbani:

زيديني عِشقاً.. زيديني

يا أحلى نوباتِ جُنوني

Chorus:

More love ... More love
I want more love ...

Can you love me in the morning?
Love me in the afternoon?
Love me in the evening?
I need more love ... More love

Verse 1:

She is the bow ... I am the arrow
We are target bound together
Hardest times are never more
Than spring boards to a better
Place for us
See, nothing is a waste for us
As long as there is love
for Allah's sake
There's always ways for us
To learn from
Speed bumps & sharp turns
Weed slumps & heart burns
You're my teacher
You're my healer
You're my comforter, tranquility
سكينة ...
Felt in each embrace
No higher height is reached in faith
Than that which lovers find together
When committed to the race
Towards an ever better place
Than what we've found
on mother Earth's sur-
Face the map & trace her beauty back to you.
The love is true.

Nizar Qabbani:

جِسمُكِ خارطتي

ما عادت خارطةُ العالمِ تعنيني

أنا أقدمُ عاصمةٍ للحزن

وجُرحي نقشٌ فرعوني

وجعي .. يمتدُّ كبقعةِ زيتٍ

من بيروتَ .. إلى الصِّينِ

عصفورةَ قلبي، نيساني

يا رَمل البحرِ، ويا غاباتِ الزيتونِ

يا طعمَ الثلج، وطعمَ النار

ونكهةَ كفري ويقيني

أشعُرُ بالخوف فضُميني


Chorus:

More love ... More love
I want more love ...

Can you love me in the morning?
Love me in the afternoon?
Love me in the evening?
I need more love ... More love

Verse 2:

We're feeding from Her bountiful bosom
Creatures rarely asking why
Intergalactic insemination
Of heavenly vegetation
Remember & forget equations
But the spirits never die
Flagella flapping to the vibrations of
Gene mapping
Feet tapping
Speech rapping
Heat packing
Combustible
The life force
Adjustable
New tricks
Old dogs
Kubricks
Mozarts
When most art is a bunch a bull...
I put my trust in you
As one should do
For so far, I've learned the hard way
That no love is an odd way
But your love is the God way
So give me more love
زيديني عشقاً
as Nizar say

Chorus:

More love ... More love
I want more love ...

Can you love me in the morning?
Love me in the afternoon?
Love me in the evening?
I need more love ... More love

Nizar Qabbani:

يا أحلى نوباتِ جُنوني

يا سِفرَ الخَنجَرِ في خاطرتي

يا غَلغَلةَ السِّكِّينِ

زيديني غرقاً يا سيِّدتي

إن البحرَ يناديني

زيديني موتاً

علَّ الموت، إذا يقتلني، يحييني
