Without nothing!



Without nothing!


Without nothing

I love you

Without nothing

In this love

There is no money

No dollars

No territories

No jewelers

Come… we sit

In the shade

None owns this shade

Love me and think a little at that

Without nothing

Only you

Without nothing

Without all kind of your clothes

Without makeup

Without all your friend’s friends

The Nasty and the nice ones

Come… we sit

In the shade

None owns this shade

Love me and think a little at that

Without your mommy and daddy group (choir)

without eyelid and mascara

without that women weave (chat)

without all this ridiculous masquerade

Come… we sit

In the shade

None owns this shade

Love me and think a little at that


Ziad Rahbani

Ziad Rahbani (also Ziyad al-Rahbany born 1956)
Is a Lebanese composer and writer for radio shows and theater, very famous in his native country as well as in many other regions of the Arab world.
Ziad Rahbani is the son of the Lebanese famous composer Assi Rahbani and Nuhad Haddad, the famous Lebanese female singer known as Fairouz.
He composed many songs for his mother Fairouz, as well as other singers, and he has released music albums of his own. Many of his musicals satirized the political situation in Lebanon during and after the civil war, often strongly critical of the traditional political establishment; others addressed more philosophical questions. He played the lead role in all his plays, and has generally been reluctant to allow the filming of his plays.
Ziad was married to Dalal Karam and had a son named "Assi Jr" with her. But his marriage was doomed to fail, and they got divorced. That led Dalal to write her life with Ziad in the gossip magazine "Ashabaka". Ziad composed some songs about their relationship like "Marba el Dalal" and "Bisaraha", amongst others.
After the divorce, Ziad had a well-publicized relationship with actress Carmen Lubbos that went on for 15 years before they agreed to separate.
Politically, Ziad Rahbani has a long standing relationship with Lebanese leftist movements, and is a self-declared communist. Being a Christian, his politics have meant that he has been at odds with some of his co-religionists. During the Lebanese civil war, Ziad resided in mainly Muslim West Beirut.
