Loving you taught me how to be sad Ive been in need for ages for a woman to make me sad For a women for me to cry in her arms like a sparrow For a woman to gather my pieces like shards of broken crystal Loving you, milady, taught me my worst habits It taught me to open my cup at night a thousand times And try herbal medicine and knock on the doors of fortune-tellers It taught me to leave my house to comb the sidewalks And follow your face with the rains in the headlights of cars The light of your eyes is millions of stars Oh woman, you made the world spin Oh my pain! Loving you, milady, made me enter the cities of sadness Cities of sadness that I had not entered before you I didnt ever know that tears make you human That someone without sadness is a vestige of a human Loving you taught me to act like a child To draw your face with chalk on the walls Oh woman, you overturned my history Ive been cut up as sacrifice to you From artery to artery Loving you taught me how love can change the map of time It taught me how when you love the world stops turning Loving you taught me things that were never expected Ive read childrens stories and entered the castles of the kings of the Jinn And I dreamed that the sultans daughter (ie, her) would marry me Her eyes were clearer than the water of the gulfs Her lips were more crimson than pomegranate blossoms And I dreamed that I took her like a knight And I dreamed that I gave her bracelets of pearl and coral Loving you, milady, taught me about delirium It taught me how the years can pass without the sultans daughter coming Nizar qabbani.......m.youtube/watch?v=WcKGTRtJRSw.
