Lyrics
أعطني الناي وغني
فالغنا سر الوجود
وأنين الناي يبقى
بعد أن يفنى الوجود
هل إتخذت الغاب مثلي
منـزلاً دون القصور
فتتبعت السواقي
وتسلقت الصخور
هل تحممت بعطره
وتنشفت بنور
وشربت الفجر خمراً
من كؤوس من أثير
هل جلست العصر مثلي
بين جفنات العنب
والعناقيد تدلت
كثريات الذهب
هل فرشت العشب ليلاً
وتلحفت الفضاء
زاهداً في ما سيأتي
ناسياً ما قد مضى
أعطني الناي وغني
وانسى داء ودواء
إنما الناس سطورٌ
كتبت لكن بماء
Lyrics translation
Give me the flute and sing.
We sing the secret of existence.
And the flute stays.
After it's gone.
Did you take the jungle like me?
Home without palaces.
I followed the drivers.
I climbed the rocks.
Did you take a bath in his perfume?
And it dries with light.
And I drank wine at dawn.
From glasses of Aether.
Have you sat this afternoon like me?
Between the eyelids of grapes.
And the clusters dangled.
Lots of gold.
Did you brush the grass at night?
And the space quilt.
So much for what's to come.
He forgot what was past.
Give me the flute and sing.
And forget about disease and medicine.
People are lines.
I wrote You in water.
