 ABDEL HALIM HAFEZ

tawny nightingale,  
King of romance  
You depart…  
You depart to eternity  
We stay in this chaotic misery…  
  
O tawny nightingale  
The voice of humanity  
Voice of mutiny  
Voice of dreams  
Voice of love and freedom  
Voice of god on earth  
You depart  
You depart to eternity  
We stay in this chaotic misery…  
 
O tawny nightingale  
King of romance  
You depart…  
Songs were dull before you  
And now they are dead after you.  
 
O tawny nightingale,  
You depart…  
The Nile nymphs commit suicide..  
Habi is insane, breaking the water harps…  
Shepherds abandon the sheep  
Roses wither away  
Lost their delicate scents…  
Robins, starlings, canaries depart..  
Weeping,  
Mourning the departure of their king …  
 
O tawny nightingale,  
King of romance  
You depart…  
O tawny nightingale,  
Will it be life without songs…?!
