By Song by Umm Kulthum. Comment by Layla Anwar

An Arab Woman Blues (Music video)

Wednesday, Dec 24, 2008

I like that song by Umm Kulthum, played on the Oud solo with no lyrics.

I remember a few introductory lines so I hummed along as it was being played.

" What Love are you talking about. Do you know what Love means first...
Love and you are so far wide apart, worlds apart. A world you would not even reach in your imagination...You oppress Love so much, had you loved for even 2 days, Love would have metamophorsed you into an Angel...So before you come and pontificate about Love, tell me what Love are you talking about..."

So on and so forth...

- Layla Anwar
