I love Fairuz. There is no other voice like hers.
The second song is obviously about the Mother of God. Aside from that, I don't know. Maybe some of our Arabic speakers could help us out.

I think this site has the lyrics to the first song: http://www.lyricsandsongs.com/song/698400.htmlKnowing the title of the second song would help in finding its lyrics. Would the title be "Ya Maryam el Bakr?" That is on a Christmas album she did. I can't find the lyrics, though. |

The first song is secular. It's a love song.

The second song, though, is what seems like a beautiful hymn to the Mother of God. I seem to think I've heard it before. If anyone could point us toward a translation and transliteration, that would be a wonderful thing.

Thank you, Salpy.
Yes, that is the one, "Ya Maryam el Bakr"
Thank you!

For some reason, the link to the second video doesn't connect to it anymore. I did, however, find another link to a different video with the same beautiful hymn to the Mother of God: http://youtube.com/watch?v=-shfVo2Z3wo |

Actually just a slight correction on what I said now that I've read the lyrics. It's not exactly a love song, but rather a sad song about unrequited love. Still though the point is is that it's not religious as you might expect from her other songs like "Ya Mariam el Bikr." God bless. |

It seems Fairouz has sung and recorded a number of hymns to the Mother of God. I think one of them was used by Mel Gibson in The Passion. Does anyone know if there is a CD with all or most of her hymns to the Holy Mother?
Another question: I've heard that one of her parents was Syriac Orthodox. Does anyone know if that is true?

Yes indeed. Mel Gibson used "Ana Alom ElHazinah" which you can get here: http://tasbeha.org/mp3/Songs/Arabic/Fairuz_Good_Friday,_Eastern_Sacred_Songs.htmlAnd yes. I've heard that one of her parents was Syriac Orthodox, but I can't verify this. |
