(I would have liked)...by
Abdel Halim Hafez –
I would have liked to
build
you a
tall castle
And snatch up the night
stars to
make you a necklace
So to light up the most
beautiful
of all the girls
I would have liked
I would have liked for
the
moon
to be our canoe
And for the night to be a
sea that
obeys us
And for the breeze that
carried
us of to come back
carrying our
story
I would have liked for us
to enter
the books of fairy tales
And to fill your years
with
songs
While I play a doctor
carrying my
love, my healing potion
I would have liked
I would have liked to
draw your
image in my hand
On the passing breeze
On the rosy smile of the
dawn
On the years of my life
that have
passed
I would have liked
If the coming days
separate me
from you
The light of my eyes will
accompany you always
And if my eyelids were
to
get
heavy
My singing will awaken
in
your
night
I would have liked to
lose
my
ship in your eyes my
darling
It would have been
enough that
you had stayed with me
I would have liked that
But I'm all confused
I don't own anything
from
my
many dreams, my
princess
Except my tears and
weeping
I would have
liked
(who could my darling be)....by Abdel Halim Hafez -
Who
could my darling be?
My friends are confused,
thinking
My darling... who could
she be?
Thinking... asking
themselves
Things and more things
Asking themselves in
madness
Who could my darling
be?
Whispering to each
other,
imagining
Names and more names
And all this is a waste,
dust
Don't worry, be calm my
dear
I hide my love for you
from the eyes of others
Don't think that it's I, my
darling
For how could they
know
from me
Who my darling could
be?
My dear, I did not say a
thing
I'm as devoted to you as
I
am to myself
Don't worry about their
glances towards you
For you are in the depth
of
my being
So leave them, my life,
thinking
And I will never ever say
On my life, so that it may
go on
Their whispers can't
scare
you
The secret of the secrets
of
my life
