Umm Kulthum - Wasafouli-s-Sabr (Egyptian Arabic) Lyrics + Translation - أم كلثوم - وصفولي الصبر

Details

Description

This is a part of the song "W-Daret El-Ayam"; composed by" Muhammad Abdul Wahab and lyrics by: Ma'moon Esh-Shennawi.

One of Umm Kulthum's many masterpieces, and one of my personal favorites.
We're adding songs we feel we should have included in our 100 initiatives list, but ultimately could not.

* 'Eini literally means "my eye". When we say "ya 'eini" in songs, it does not mean that we're speaking to our eye literally, rather that we're expressing intense feelings like that of surprise or sorrow.

*Patience requires patience itself
(Meaning that the idea of “enduring and bearing” is extremely improbable for the passionate lovers; hence, not even patience can manifest as it, the abstract concept, itself needs to witness patience)
