Umm Kulthoum: Amal Hayati




When you're with me it's hard for me
to blink an eye even for one second

It's hard for me to miss your beauty and coyness even a little bit

This is how much I miss you
This is how much I long for you

I wish to call you with a word that wasn't said to anyone else
A word as big as your love, as big as my longing and tenderness
a word like you
and who is like you
none like you was ever created.

Goddess I love Umm Kulthoum. Her songs are just so beautiful and expressive. I listen to them and it makes me so happy.
Hey Amal I haven't been on this blog in so long, how are you?

Hey Lara,

good to hear from you. I'm pretty good. You?

Yes,she's a goddess. I love watching her! The film about her life that you once saw is now out in DVD.

Eh, I am okay, thanks Amal. I am looking for a new job frankly. I am trying to get a position of some sort in a museum. Are you still holding classes at GMU?
And yes I think "goddess" is a good way to describe Um Kulthoum.
