بكره وانت جاي - فيروز

بكرة انت وجاى
راح زين الريح
خلى الشمس مرايى
 والكنارى يصيح
 وجمع ناس ..
 وعالاقواس
 بكل شارع
 ضو حكايى
 بكرة انت وجاى
 انت وجاى يا حبيبى ---

وبكرة انت ومارق
 راح صور براج
ارسم البيارق
 عا روس
 الدراج
وصوت العيد ..
يدق بعيد
والشجر يبكى
عا المفارق
بكرة انت ومارق
 انت ومارق يا حبيبى ---

 رايتك منصوبى ..
والدهب ميزانك
اعملنى العوبى
و احملنى عا حصانك
وبالساحة لكبيرى اتمختر فيى
وعلق الغيرى على عينيى
على عينيى ---
بكرة انت وطالل
بركض بلاقيك
وسطوح المنازل
كلها شبابيك
وانت تدل
عليى تدل
وتمسحلى جبينى بالسنابل
بكرة انت وطالل
 انت وطالل يا حبيبى 

الفنانة السيدة فيروز

الفنانة السيدة فيروز

ولدت السيدة الفنانة فيروز في 21 نوفمبر 1935، ولدت في بلدة دبية في محافظة جبل لبنان، اشتهرت الفنانة فيروز من صغرها بالغناء في الحي وبين أفراد عائلتها، بدأت عملها الفني كمغنية كورس في الإذاعة اللبنانية، وكانت الانطلاقة الحقيقية للفنانة فيروز عام 1952 عندما بدأت بالغناء لعاصي الرحباني.

في 1955 تزوجت بعاصي وأنجبت معه أربعة أبناء وقد قدم الأخوين الرحباني مع فيروز المئات من الأغاني التي أحدثت ثورة في الأغنية العربية، وذلك لتميزها بقصر المدة وقوة المعنى على عكس الأغاني العربية السائدة في ذلك الحين والتي كانت تمتاز بالطول، كما إنها كانت بسيطة التعبير وفي عمق الفكرة الموسيقية وتنوع المواضيع، حيث غنت للحب والأطفال، وللقدس لتمسكها بالقضية الفلسطينية، وللحزن والفرح والوطن والأم، وقدم عدد كبير من هذه الأغاني ضمن مجموعة مسرحيات من تأليف وتلحين الأخوين رحباني وصل عددها إلى خمس عشرة مسرحية تنوعت مواضيعها بين نقد الحاكم والشعب وتمجيد البطولة والحب بشتى أنواعه.

لتظل الفنانة فيروز رغم مرور أكثر من نصف قرن منذ انطلاقة مسيرتها الفنية إحدى أساطير الغناء العربي التي سيبقى صوتها الملائكي رمزا للحب والنضال والحرية.

شام يا ذا السيف

شام يا ذا السيف

شام يا ذا السيف لم يغب
يا كلام المجد في الكتب
قبلك التاريخ في ظلمة
بعدك أستولى على الشهب
لي ربيع فيك خبأته
ملئ دنيا قلبي التعب
يوم عيناها بساط السما
و الرماح السود في الهدب
تلتوي خصراً فأومى
إلى نغمة الناي ألا إتنحبي
أنا في ظلك يا هدبها
أحسب الأنجم في لعبي
طابت الذكرى فمن راجع
بي كما العود إلى الطرب
شام أهلوك إذا هم على نوب
قلبي على نوب
أنا أحبابي شعري لهم
مثلما سيفي و سيف أبي
أنا صوتي منك يا بردى
مثلما نبعك من سحبي
ثلج حرمون غذانا معاً
شمخاً كالعز في القبب
و حد الدنيا غداّ
جبل لاعب بالريح و الحقب

The Concert

here is the whole concert in case the above video doesnt work http://v.youku.com/v_show/id_XODU1MDE4NzI=.html

 Alhayat says 16 thousand and Assafir says 12 thousand people attended the concert. Regardless of that, the concert was originally intended for 10 thousand fans. How can one explain this? Fairuz broke the record she set for herself in mere two days when the MGM Grand changed concert plans and expanded the arena to its full capacity. People came from all over the world to attend the concert. A lot have said they first heard about it from the Internet. That was one thing I liked very much because I hope this site has helped with it. The song titles and more information about the concert can be found in the articles which are now accessible from the special's general information section. But what's most notably great was the presence of Assy and Mansour through all the classics she performed, Ziad through the musical introduction and Kifk Inta and Nasri Shameseddine through Haddouni which the choir performed. That was not just a concert.
 On the back page of Assafir newspaper, there was an update of the concert. It's going to be a success! Not that I questioned it, but the ticket prices and the location ... Anyway MGM asked for Fairuz's permission to open the arena to it's maximum capcity because there's an enormous pressure on the ticket sales which I hope this site has helped in. Read the article in Arabic.
 Fairuz leaves tomorrow (Sunday) for Las Vegas on the Middle East airliner. Maestro Mike Haro, who conducted her recent concerts, will accompany Fairuz in her trip as well as 24 musicians, 10 choir singers, technicians and managers, all totaling 42 persons. She has made interviews with both the Los Angeles Times and the New York Times newspapers. She has been rehearsing for a week now. Please contact me if you have access to the interviews. You can also check the article in the general information and promotional material part of the special. Source: Assafir 5/8
 MGM fixed the seating capacity of the stage for a maximum audience of 10,000 seats not 16,000, by Fairouz's request.
 Ziad will not join Fairuz to Las Vegas.
 There will NOT be any tour. It's one concert like it's being advertised. If the technical issues are quickly settled in Las Vegas, It's being thought to produce, with MGM grand, some promotional items as commemorative memorabilia. Unfortunately, it seems already short on time for this to happen, so all you folks going to the concert, start praying.
 To all those still having second thoughts about attending the concert. What's wrong with you? If you are not 100% sure that you will attend other future concerts, can you tolerate forsaking seeing Fairuz in concert? It's not easy to make a concert every year in the States and it can be a long time before Fairuz returns there. The last time she was there was years and years ago and the next one can be years and years away, if it was even considered. It's not late to buy yourself a ticket but it can be very soon. If you've never been to Las Vegas, it can be an interesting experience. With all the colors and lights of the city and then attending the Fairuz concert, the experience can be too surreal that if not for the photos you're going to take, you may question if it was only a dream. One that will linger in your memories forever. Don't waste anymore time. Really.
 Just to clear something out, the news on the American tour is not confirmed. Add to that MGM is advertising the Las Vegas concert as a one historic performance. It seems logical that there will be more than one concert as it is cheaper to produce and guaranteed to succeed. However, to be on the safe side, anyone planning to see Fairuz should attend the Las Vegas concert. Again, no need to remind everyone that the tickets have been on sale for more than a week now and that the concert has been advertised about in major American newspapers, so it's wise to buy tickets now, if you plan to attend the concert. This week you can get to see the seating configuration as well as the press release of Fairuz's concert. There is also a scanned ad from Los Angeles Times of the concert.
 Fairuz's upcoming concert in Las Vegas is closing in. The May 15 will be marked as the greatest day of 99 by loyal Fairuz fans in North America and the concert as the greatest event to end this century. She will perform in the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada. The arena can hold up to 16000 seats. The tickets are on sale and they are going fast, after all it's only one concert (that I know is confirmed). The tickets prices are set at $50, $75, $150, $300. For ticket sales call toll free 1- 877- 984-7263 or 702- 891-7777. Information on Fairuz's concert at the MGM site. Information of the Arena, Concert Configuration of the arena and the Schedule of the upcoming concerts including Fairuz's. The promotion is starting up and as Ammar has posted on the message board, there was an ad in the New York Times of the concert. Thanks Ammar. Will post follow-ups when become available throughout the week.

Lyrics By The Rahbani Brothers

ضوي بليالي سعيدي

Shine your light

in happy nights

 يا نجمي بيتا قريب 

Oh, star

whose home is not far

جايي من دنيي بعيدي

She comes from a far away world

 تتلج عهالكون طيب 

That snows perfumes on this universe

يا سما

Oh... sky..

 و تتلج أشعار و سلام 

That is snowing poems and peace

يا سما

Oh... sky...

 و تتلج أشعار و سلام 

That is snowing poems and peace

حكيولي حكايي غريبي

they told me  strange story

 و الأرض عيونا دموع 

while the eyes of the earth were full of tears

قولي قولي يا حبيبي

Tell me tell me.. my beloved

 جايي لعنا يسوع 

Jesus is coming to us

يا سما

Oh... sky...

 و تتلج أشعار و سلام 

That is snowing poems and peace..

snow .. snow .. تلج تلج Fairuz فيروز

تلج تلج

snow .. snow ..
عم بتشتي الدنيي تلج
the world is raining snow ..
و النجمات حيرانين
and the stars are confused
و زهور الطرقات بردانيين
and the flowers of the streets are feeling cold
تلج تلج
snow .. snow..
عم بتشتي الدنيي تلج
it is falling down
و الغيمات تعبانين
and the clouds are tired
عالتلة خيمات مضويين
and on the hills some tents are lit
و مغارة سهرانه
and a cave is not sleeping
فيها طفل صغير
it has  a little child in it
بعيونو الحلياني
in his beautiful eyes
حب كتير كتير
plenty , plenty of love
تلج تلج
snow .. snow .

عم بتشتي الدنيي تلج
is falling down
كل قلب
in every heart
كل مرج
and in every meadow
زهر فيه الحب متل التلج
love has blossomed like snow
و جاي رعيان من بعيد
and shepherds come from far away
وينو الطفل الموعود
where is the promised child?
هون يا رعيان العيد
here , shepherds of joy
هون الليل االمنشود

this  is the  night you sought
تلج تلج
snow ... snow..
شتي خير
rain goodness
و حب
and love
و تلج
and snow
على كل قلب
on every heart
على كل مرج
on every meadow
ألفة و خير و حب
love and connection and goodness
متل التلج
just like snow..

تلج تلج
snow .. snow ..
