Music and Poetry: The Pigeons Fly



A beautiful song, performed live by Marcel Khalife. The words are by Mahmoud Darwish, the famous Palestinian poet. I've posted a snippet of the lyrics both in Arabic and English, if any one wants, I can post the link for the full Arabic poem. (Please right click on image and open link/image in new window, to enlarge and listen to the music while reading).

I loved it! beautiful words. Really nice poem.

I wish I can steal it and say "Written by Lebeeya" ;)

Mahmoud Darwish is so eloquent, and Marcel sings it so well. I provide a link to both peoples web pages on the side of my blog. Enjoy!
