LOVE MELODY is one of Charbel Baini's books translated from Arabic into English

I will keep loving you


-1-

I will keep loving you forever, 

I will keep loving you 

Until my lamp runs out of oil,

And my hand, 

Can no longer reach a jasmine flower,

Nor fall in love with flutes. 

My recitation.

-2-

You were the meeting... 

When the sail tilted

You became the journey 

And your seas the exile

Your lips began to bleed melodies

And their melodies gathered in my heart.

-3-

In the picture where you were smiling 

At me during the day,

The smile faded and your tears flowed

I saw sorrow encamped on the memory

And the mirage's wave drowned your return.

-4-

I wish you were in me 

I wish I could steal you,

And close my eyes to happiness and sleep!

But "the wish" that couldn't build a house,

How can it fulfill my dreams?!
