يطير الحمام

Марсель Халифа (مارسيل خليفة) - всемирно известный ливанский композитор и певец, прославившийся своей виртуозной игрой на уде. Многие песни Марселя Халифа, в том числе The Pigeons Fly, The Pigeons Come Down(يطير الحمام يحط الحمام), написаны на стихи палестинского поэта Махмуда Дервиша (محمود درويش). The Pigeons Fly Prepare a place for me to rest. I love you unto weariness, your morning is fruit for songs and this evening is precious gold the shadows are strong as marble. When I see myself, it is hanging upon a neck that embraces only the clouds, you are the air that undresses in front of me like tears of the grape, you are the beginning of the family of waves held by the shore. I love you, you are the beginning of my soul, and you are the end... the pigeons fly the pigeons come down... I am for my lover I am. And my lover is for his wandering star Sleep my love on you my hair braids, peace be with you... the pigeons fly the pigeons come down...
