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

The feast is far away


-1-

Don't tell me: The feast is far away,

I'll wait for your feast 

Until you find me in a new dress

And flowers in your hand

Perhaps our joy will increase

And the promises will blossom

And your wine will taste sweeter.

-2-

Don't tell me: My night is long

Every night I see you

A knight extending his hand to you, 

Unafraid of your swords

Oh, my fleeting dream

The poem I said, 

It can't be said,

If it weren't for your words!

-3-

My life and yours 

Are a fleeting breeze

In my forgotten world

Passing by... 

We didn't let it cry out

And go a little mad

Your vineyards need to be adorned

Your lips were created for praise

Don't be harsh on me...
