7 weeks ago today, @tuvergen_band played at @oldtownschool for their “World Music Wednesday” music series. We had a special guest with us that evening: @recklessdarlingmusic on guitar and vocals. Here is an edited clip of “Hoohi Gutal” (Mongolian Boots) we performed that night. Hope you enjoy. #tuvergenband #oldtownschooloffolkmusic #mongolianmusic #folkfusion #liveconcert taken in Old Town School of Folk Music by @recklessdarlingmusic

حُلم

Humble live performance:
🎸 @recklessdarlingmusic
🎹 @remlevin
🎤 @shamabyad

Composer: Anoushiravan Rouhani
Lyrics: Emel Mathlouthi

English translation:
If I could close my eyes and the dreams take me by the hand, I would rise and fly in a new sky and I will forget my sorrows.

If I could travel in my imagination, I would build palaces and nights where love and my hopes can grow and we will erase the pain ..

A world in which you see people whose features,
are clouded by oppression, misery and suffering
from a bitter reality that destroys everything we build.

A world where you see rising walls of tyranny that crushes in us dreams and dreams
and reign darkness and greed in all hearts.

Arabic Lyrics:
لو كنت نغمّض عينيّا
و تاخذني الأحلام من يديّا
و نعلى و نحلّق في سماء جديدة
و ننسى الوجايع ،
لو كنت نسافر في خيالي
نزرع و نبني قصور ليالي
يكبر فيها الحب و آمالي و نمحي الآلام ..

دنيا ترى فيها ملامح ناس
قوسها الضلم و البؤس و القهر
من واقع عاسر يعبث بكلّ ما نبنيه ،
دنيا علت فيها أسوارُ طغيان
سحق فينا أحلاما أحلامْ
و عمّ الظّلام و الأنانيّة في كل القلوب ..
