At the 7:53 mark, her reference to sitting under dangling clusters of grapes touches every Lebanese who knows all too well that most households in the villages have vineyards strung up on pergolas - this imagery is very evocative of our beautiful traditional Lebanon.
The words by the Lebanese philosopher, poet, writer, painter and thinker and reformist Gibran Khalil Gebran and the book "The Prophet" one of the biggest selling and most translated literary books . The music is by Lebanese comedian, TV personality and host Najib Hankash.
Very delighted. Jibran Khalil Jibran, a Lebanese thinker and philosopher, who wrote the book, The Procession. You find the lyrics there. Music by Najib Hankash, developed by Al Rahbani brothers.
I am not surprised you were surprised by the words, they are for the genius poet Gibran Khalil Gibran, an Arab poet from the region of Lebanon Most of the classic songs, such as Umm Kulthum, Fairuz and others, are poems
Fairouz voice is the voice of dream.. Let me explain. When you're listening to her angelic voice with the powerful emotionally portraying lyrics. You forget your surrounding and all your senses becomes focused on her song, like in a dream, and when her golden throat stops singing, it's like a slap you wake up from a dream and your senses comes back to life..
For those who could not get the point behind “ for what are people, but lined inscribed on water” basically the line is saying that our existence is like the existence of lines on water, extremely short and disappear with our effort. We are noting but a momentary existence in a place that does not mind our departure.
Close but the translation is wrong. following from the previous line, 'Kuttibat lakin bima'a' is more like the implication that our short existences (and therefore life the story of everything we were and had experienced and done), were transcribed, but as if not with ink, but with water. Meaning it's not trying to literally write ON water, rather WITH water or USING water instead of ink.
It's no suprise to witness a magical voice and deep lyrics both influence the audience!! I had read Halil Cibran with pleasure in early 2000's, and I still feel very lucky to have discovered the manificient Fairouz just a couple of years ago.
hey jay i just want to point out the real meaning of this part (( give me the flute and sing)) > it means give me your sadness and you remain happy flut's sound is so sad and singing is happieness
Gibran khalil gibran what could i want more in this life ...gibran u made my life so beautiful you made the person i am i have the fully collection finished it at 10 maybe 12 and i reread and reread like alcohol you could never get enough of gibran 😍🥰
I love the 50s, 60s and the 70s era of Fairuz, her voice was out of this world.. totally different from any other Arab singer.. For me Abdel Halim and Fairuz are the best..
@@musicreversed1113 And for me l like her voice from 1977 and forward. Her voice is like an old vintage wine. Wine tastes better with age and so does Fairouz voice.
@@raymollyraymolly722 From the singing style perspective I feel from this time onwards Fairuz real voice got deeper and struggled to sing in higher notes unlike how she used to sing in her youth, it all started when Fairuz sang Konna Netlaka in 1974 that a change in her voice got noticible especially when she sings in higher notes, and you can also notice this from other songs like El Bosta in 1979. And from a voice quality perspective I've always preferred her angelic younger voice, so it's just a subjective point of view
@@musicreversed1113 I agree with you and Un kulhoum the same her voice changed with time. For a reason, I like fairouz with that deep voice, especially with Ziad songs.
I understand that in the morning you need to listen to something pure and clean to revive your spirit but I do listen to Fairouz at any time even at my bedtime.
I'm from Syria and new to your channel. Your reactions are so meaningful and not superficail. Fairouz is our morning routine. you can hear her in every public transport vehicle, at homes, offices, shops and so on. This song is one of my favourites and the poet Jubran is so amazing even though I don't like poetry i read his.
Life is a perpetual song although existence comes to an end, the sound of flute remains. The sound of the flute is produced by blowing in to it and the flute is a musical instrument that produces a very sad and melancholic sound .
Jobran Khalil Jobran wrote this poem... Jobran is cobsidered to be the number one philosophic writer/poet/novelist throughout history... His poetry is very profound and it has this kind of existentialism / nihilism sense (the two opposites at the same time)...
Gibran is a legend and fairouz we often call her the mornings bird 🐦 cause its kind of a tradition in all over arabia to listen to fairouz in early morning while drinking your coffee or having your breakfast
It reminded me of my childhood in Morocco, camping in a holiday center in the summer in the majestic mountains of the Middle Atlas, in Ifrane, we were put the song of Abdel Halim "Rissala TahtaAl Maa-a" or that of Fairuz: "Aetini Ney wa Ghanni " every morning on the loudspeaker and reached us to our dormitories, I keep sublime memories, looking at the mountain through my window, the forests of the Atlas, the songs of birds and this melody which already spoke to us of the world of love and the sea in the distance of the Atlas opposite, the nostalgie of Atlantic Ocean where my family lived in Larache ...... what sublime memories of childhood and the good old days ....
My recommendation: "Eddaysh kan fi nas" قديش كان في ناس by fairouz.... Absolutely marvellous,such a piece of art...Talking about being lonely in this big world!❤
The part that said “For what are people but lines inscribed on water”. He was saying Humans are poems written by water. It’s my favorite line in the song.
If you understood the Arabic language well, I would have been more shocked, because the depth of speech and the vocabulary of the Arabic language opens the door to imagination and creativity. Our Arabic language is a source of pride for what it contains of meanings and interpretations of speech ❤❤❤.
My recommendation ✌️, it's written by one of the most famous and legendary writer, poet and visual artist in Lebanon and the world "Gibran khalil Gibran". Thank you Ijay for this incredible reaction for one the things that we as lebanese are most proud of. Wish you the best in your journey ❤️
I want to add that music for Gibran and the voice of flut- nay ( the sound of nay is very deep , sad and emotional not like regular flut, they use to make it from wooden canes) that s why for him the voice of flut stays even after the existence you can feel it after existence On the other side the people are lines written with water it means that everyone is passing and will be forgotten, no trace with water not like ink, but I think it s not the case of Gibran Khalil Gibran because he is still living through his writings ...
The english translation doesn't begin to give the words justice. Also the original poem so dense with meaning, the song takes parts of the original poem. I recommend finding the poem and reading it. Gibran is an amazing Lebanese American poet - means a lot to me.
Hi Jay, this is a poem by Gibran Khalil Gibran. The whole poem is amazing.. the song only includes a very small part. You can easily find it in English (most of his work is either translated or or originally in English).
The meaning of that line is "people are just written lines, but simply written with water" is a closer meaning to the poem actually, not written on water.
The lyrics of the divine song were written by the Lebanese Arab poet Gibran Khalil Gibran. He is one of the greatest Arab poets in history. I beg you to read some of his poetry or prose books or read his achievements online. This poet was called the Prophet.

I'm getting Goosebumps..
Oh Fairouz, the soul of Music.. the moon neighbor..
الله خلقها وكسر القالب
I am from Syria. You should know that all the Syrian people for decades only hear Fayrouz in the morning. It's one of the basics of our lives.
The whole Arab world wake up to Fairuz in the morning and enjoy the evening with Om Kulthoum intoxicating voice.
I went to Syria around 2010 and that is very true especially on Friday if I recall correctly.
?this is the case for all Arabian people, how can the day begin without Fayrouz?
What a way to wake up…. Voice like honey-i love this woman
Very delighted. Jibran Khalil Jibran, a Lebanese thinker and philosopher, who wrote the book, The Procession. You find the lyrics there. Music by Najib Hankash, developed by Al Rahbani brothers.
Gibran Khalil with his deep words with the angelic voice of Fairuz!
This is our beautiful miracle.💜
playing this song in your car for long road among the mountains and nature is A MUST DO THING ,totally worths experience
I am not surprised you were surprised by the words, they are for the genius poet Gibran Khalil Gibran, an Arab poet from the region of Lebanon Most of the classic songs, such as Umm Kulthum, Fairuz and others, are poems
One of her most sad and meaningful song is “ Ana wa Shady “ it brings tears to my eyes
طبيعه لبنان الخلابه اعطت شعراء لبنان غني في التعبير عن الجمال و عن الروحانيات و حتما اعطت اهم الاصوات العربية.
From Egypt I am totally agree with this point
Arabic is the most beautiful and emotional language on this planet!
The Arabic language is so strong it can portray all emotions
Fairouz voice is the voice of dream.. Let me explain. When you're listening to her angelic voice with the powerful emotionally portraying lyrics. You forget your surrounding and all your senses becomes focused on her song, like in a dream, and when her golden throat stops singing, it's like a slap you wake up from a dream and your senses comes back to life..
دايماً لما اسمع لفيروز ادمع بدون سبب ، الاغاني ماتمثلني ولا فحاجة لاحروب ولاحب ولافراق ولاشي لكن احس بمشاعر اني ابغا ابكي ما اعرف ليش 💔

The most beautiful voice. Tender, angelic, enchanting

The great Khalil Gibran with the voice of fairuz makes this song wonderful my lovely country has so much to give ❤ my Lebanon.
The writer of the poem is Gibran Khalil Gibran, a Lebanese-American poet
It is the beauty of the Arabic language
One word has many meanings
So few of them suffice to convey the meaning

Lyrics is amazing beautiful and music absolutely great and Fairouz did great performance like soft Flute
Finally, this song for Fairuz, I was waiting for your reaction to it
Best voice ever Fairuz. The legend.
I wonder if you ever came across Abeer Nehme, she's got such an angelic voice. Her song "Waynak" is one of her best.
This very incredible song I feel myself in forest and life is calm and quiet and nice peaceful. Fairouz very strong performance of her heart
الله كم صوتك جميل يا فيروز يابلبل الصباح
We didn’t get the time to stop on the beauty of the these magical words seriously i teared up ! thank you my friend all the way from Saudi Arabia

Fairuz is a lebanese icon, a cedar from lebanon .
Gebran Khalil Gebran...he was a Lebanese living in the USA...a special Writer..GOD bless his soul
Fairuz is not a singer. She is an incarnate angel living with us.
Gebran Khalil Gebran + Fairuz = the definition of Lebanon 🇱🇧
I love the 50s, 60s and the 70s era of Fairuz, her voice was out of this world.. totally different from any other Arab singer.. For me Abdel Halim and Fairuz are the best..

You know, we listen to Fairuz in mornings and Umm Kulthum in evenings
I understand that in the morning you need to listen to something pure and clean to revive your spirit but I do listen to Fairouz at any time even at my bedtime.
Fairuz with the Morning Coffee
Oum Kolthoum with the Afternoon Coffee
Abdul Halim Hafiz at night
@@Random131_yea I would be scared to sleep if I listen to om kalthoum at night😫
The line of people, we are made of water. We can be spilled, gone, very easily, while nature, trees, light, woods, singing last forever
Once you start listening to Fairouz DAILY you won't be able to stop... She is the Lebanese and Arabs ICON.

Hi Jay, this is a poem by Gibran Khalil Gibran. The whole poem is amazing.. the song only includes a very small part. You can easily find it in English (most of his work is either translated or or originally in English).
Gibran khalil Gibran and Fairuz , two lebanese icons
Kahlil Gibran
is He is the one who wrote the words and he is considered one of the greatest Arab philosophers
Wawwww we will ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
The meaning of that line is "people are just written lines, but simply written with water" is a closer meaning to the poem actually, not written on water.
قصه ملك ترك كل شىء خلفه من مطامع و تزيف ليعيش فى الطبيعه مكتشف ملكوت الله و لينعم بالصفاء
Kahlil Gibranwas was a Lebanese-American writer . This poem was written in 1918
So beautiful yes .u should see Gebran's museum . U directly understand the song

Just a correction: people are lines inscribed with water, not on water, alluding to transparency.
