Qissat Wardat Al-Hamra' (Легенда о Розе Альгамбры)

[Intro: mysterious, oriental melody, with elements of Spanish guitar and oud, creating an atmosphere and preparing listeners for musical storytelling] [Verse 1] [Narrative] Fi makan ba'eed jiddan, ba'eed jiddan, wara al-bahr, Jibalun 'aliyah bi-qimam shā'ibah, ka'annaha min dhahab. Qasr ahmar yaskunuha amirah mas'hurah, Qalbaha yakhfi sirran, la yafhamuhu ahad. [Chorus] [Emotionally] Ismuha Lindaraha, ya'ni "Al-Ajmal". La ahad ra'aha, illa fi nawa'ir Al-Hamra'. Sawtaha al-naqi yusma'u fi al-layl, Hal tastati'u an tafhamahu? Hal tastati'u an tafhamahu? [Instrumental break: very soft, tender, romantic guitar and flute solo that create the atmosphere of an oriental legend] [Verse 2] Min khalf al-sutur al-hamra', wa al-zukhruf al-qadeem, Takhfi wajhaha al-jamīl, ka'annahu qamarun kareem. Ashwaquha tatayyar ma'a riyah al-sahra', Tantaziru farisan, yaksiru la'nat al-qadar. [Chorus] Ismuha Lindaraha, ya'ni "Al-Ajmal". La ahad ra'aha, illa fi nawa'ir Al-Hamra'. Sawtaha al-naqi yusma'u fi al-layl, Hal tastati'u an tafhamahu? Hal tastati'u an tafhamahu? [Bridge] [The passion voice increases, the vocals become deeper and more intimate] Fi kulli qatrat ma' min nawa'ir Al-Hamra', Hekayatun min hubbin wa alam, wa amalun la yantahi. Sawtun yuhaddithu 'an al-hurriyah, 'an al-ghad, Hal tastati'u an tafhamahu? Hal tastati'u an tafhamahu? [Chorus] Ismuha Lindaraha, ya'ni "Al-Ajmal". La ahad ra'aha, illa fi nawa'ir Al-Hamra'. Sawtaha al-naqi yusma'u fi al-layl, Hal tastati'u an tafhamahu? Hal tastati'u an tafhamahu? [The oud and the flute continue the romantic sad melody] [Outro] Fi al-layl al-hadi', fi Al-Hamra'... Sawt Lindaraha... Hal tastati'u an tafhamahu?.. [Music fades away, leaving only the echoes]
