Lena Chamamyan


One of my favourite Arabic singers! This song is an hymn which is thought to be sung by Mary after the crucifixion, two thousands years ago. A beautiful performance! 

دعوني أجود بالبكاء
على وحدي وحدي
فانهمري يادموع العين
و اذرفي كبدي
فؤادي انكوى على الحبيب
و خانني جلدي
وحيدي قضى، وحيدي الحبيب
فتفطري يا كبدي

***

Let me burst in tears
Lonely, I mourn my only son
Flow, O my tears!
And shed my pain
My heart is burnt for the Beloved
And my patience betrayed me
My only son died, my Beloved only son
So break, O my heart!
