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

Your glory is greater


-1-

I won't speak... Your glory is greater

Than the words I want to say

Than a page that's aged in a notebook

And I forgot to even repeat chapters

And the past is the past, it doesn't return

No matter how much it drags on... 

And no matter how much it pushes

My life passing without you is faster

Than the days

When I sleep

Kneel on the eyelashes

-2-

Oh, my most beautiful love... 

Don’t passe by like a story

Hiding in her eyes 

To steal her future glory

And say: Embrace me so I may rejoice

Like the people who rejoiced in you

And cried when you cried before them

And wrapped you in the shawl 

Of their imagination

Perhaps the shawl will protect you

And you will become wider than the place

Where your people stand to meet you

And their hands are the wooden planks 

Of the stage!
