Wallah Wa Kadar El Hob (I Can't Give Up To Love)

------------------------------------------------



Throughout my life I have never shed tears at

night but have enjoyed calm sleep. Neither

wonder nor anxiety troubled my heart nor offered

defeat. But fate and destiny do not allow a

continued peace of mind and within a day and a

night I find my life has changed and love faces me

with defeat.



Love troubles me, manipulates me. A rose, melted

with a tablet of love, was I made to drink, leaving

my heart exposed. Why, I asked my heart, is this

what we had agreed upon? It replied, what shall

be done? I feel happy with him.



Watching others, I enquire as to who they are.

Comes the reply, they are embarrassed lovers and

I ask my hear how this could be so. It is love, I am

told, which has knocked at their doors and brought

them good fortune and, however great the torture,

they'll never repent.



Come let us look into the future. Let's leave them

behind. If there are still dreams let us make them

come true. Let's walk, run, get lost, forget all

those around us and think only of ourselves. That

way love will live within us and remain part of us.

Let's say you are a part of the past. the gaiety of

the past...
