Ghanili Shway Shway - Sing For Me a Little - Sharifah Khasif (Malaysia)

Sing For Me a Little Sing for me a little, a little Sing for me, take my eyes Make me sing a tune That the audience sways for And the branches flutter for The narcissus with the jasmine And travels with the caravans and traverses the deserts A little, a little The singer is the life of the soul The sick man hears him and gets better And he treats the wounded liver (livers are more important in Arabic than in English) The doctors are perplexed by it And he clears the away the darkness of night Letting light into the eyes of the lovers A little, a little I promise you by God ('lord of the house' ie the Kaaba) Oh you who believes in God I'll exchant you if I sing And make the girls of the village dance A little, a little
