Indefinite/Definite information

I probably already talked about these songs before but recently I've been listening to them again and again so I thought to re-post.

They are two separated twin songs, the first one (Indefinite information) is about when a person break a part with someone but s/he not really sure if it's really the end.

The second one (Definite information) s/he is sure now that they don't want to be around anymore.

The first song was the first track in the album and the second one is the last track in the album (11th track in the Arab version and 13th track in the international version).

Both songs shares the exact composition except the arrangement is different, the first song is classic played with a piano mostly while the second one is played with a Guitar only except in the last part when she says: "Dear God help me get away of his love, he turned my life to air! (Air is a figure speech)....Dear God support me his love doesn't make me happy anymore, I beg you don't let us get back to each others".

Here is a the first song (Indefinite information - معلوما مش أكيدة):



And here is a montage of the second one (Definite information - معلومات أكيدة):



Here is the singer (Latifa) talking about the twin songs:

2000 views

Today I reached 2000 profile views in my blogs since I started blogging in the end of 2005 (December), Currently I have 5 blogs (they probably going to be more than that) since then but I think this is a tiny number compaired to my flickr account (you can see my flickr profile here) which I started it in July 2005, until now I have more than 230000 views in flickr and waaaay less in my blogs...I guess that's only a proof of how bad blogger I am.
I wish I can express my self with words :(

وصلت 2000 مشاهدة في بروفايلي من أول ما بديت تدوين في ديسمبر 2005، حالياً عندي 5 مدونات (العدد غالباً ما راح يزيد) و الرقم هذا ولا شي مقارنة بالرقم اللي وصلتله في فلكر اللي سويته في يوليو 2005، لغاية اليوم وصل عدد الزوار ملوتي في فلكر (تقدرون تشوفون بروفايلي في فلكر إهنيه) أكثر من 230 ألف زائر و هالعدد وايد كبير مقارنة بعدد زوار مدوناتي...أعتقد هذا إثبات على إني مدون فاشل.
كنت أتمنى لو أقدر أعبر نفسي بالكلمات :(

Movie review# 5

I just watched "Shutter" which is a horror movie, I hate cinemas in Kuwait because they just censor everything and ruin any good movie.

I am not going to write the story because some people didn't watch the movie yet, but I really like the ending it's funny and scary in the same time...And that's priceless LOL

On the other hand, I am still watching Malcolm in the middle; wish me luck :S

I've been walking for many years (Years are passing)

That was one of the hardest songs to translate :D
She talk in plural form, but in Arabic it could mean two things...She could be talking about many people such as friends or family. Also in Arabic we use plural form as a sign for respect for certain person such as prince, king, or maybe a lover.

The song is full of figure speeches, the title it self is a figure speech...She doesn't mean that she is walking for many years literally, it's a figure speech for years are passing.

I've been walking for many years...
While I was hiding my pain upon them...
For many years my soul was owned by them...
I've never longed to nobody except them...
And I never felt lonely while I was with them!

For my whole life I was trying to hide my agony upon them...
Because I didn't want them to suffer even by a breeze of air blowing on their eyes...
And now I regret it...
Because they betrayed our golden years together and forgot all about love in one second!

I and my heart are confused...
Although many years already passed yet we couldn't forget them...
I've hidden my tear because I didn't want them to see it...
I swallowed my sighs because I didn't want them to hear it!

I've been walking for many years...
While I was hiding my pain upon them...
For many years my soul was owned by them...
I've never longed to nobody except them...
And I never felt lonely while I was with them!

مشيت سنين...و أنا أداري عليهم
و بقيت سنين...و أنا روحي بإيديهم
و لا حنيت في يوم إلا لهواهم
و لا حسيت بالغربية في لحظة معاهم

و طول عمري بداري عليهم...
بخاف من النسمة لا تجرح عينيهم
و لكن يا ندم...
دول خانوا للعشرة و باعوا للحب و نسيوا في لحظة

أنا و قلبي يا روحي حيارة...
سنين و لا بننسى يا عيني خسارة
داريت في دمعتي خايفة لا يشوفوها...
كتمت الآه في قلبي عنهم لا يسمعوها
