Al Madini المدينة
Al Madini المدينة, sung by Rasha Nahas (@rasha_nahas) is a Palestinian love song, released in January 2023. This acoustic lullaby will lull you to sleep, as you dream of the possibilities of love. Likening love to the space between faceless city buildings, the lyrics remind us that love is often lost and found in the obscure empty spaces.
A musician hailing from Palestine, Rasha Nahas soothes our soul whether finding or losing love. Sometimes we feel lost in the vastness, but the sky reminds us that we all have the same roof over our heads.
While listening to this song, it’s easy to believe in those fateful moments of love where everything just falls into place. At the same time, we’re reminded that sometimes loving is a lesson, a moment of transition into new awareness.
Have you ever been lost and found, all in the same city?
Palestinian Love Song | Al Madini المدينة
المدينه
بثلث مدن التقينا
قبل ما اعرف اسمك
لقيتك عشي سطح بالمدينه
ما اكبر المدينه علي
طلعت ساكنه عنا بالحاره
حد محطه الترين
سالتك لوين
تعالي تعشي عنا بالبيت
قريب عبيتك
شارع هادي بين الشجر
اشتقت لهدوء الشجر بالمدينه
ما اكبر المدينه علي
بين السطوح عرفتك
وغروب المدينه
ما اكبر المدينه علي
وبين النجوم غنيتك بسماي
تحت سما المدينه
ما اكبر المدينه علي
وعرفتك لشي سنه
قبل ما اعرف حالي
ومرق الوقت
وتغيرت المدينه
ما اصغرها المدينه
مرات
بين السطوح نسيتك
وغروب المدينه
ما اكبر المدينه علي
وبين النجوم غنيتك بسماي
تحت سما المدينه
ما اكبر المدينه علي
بين السطوح نسيتك
وغروب المدينه
ما اكبر المدينه علي
وبين النجوم غنيتك بسماي
تحت سما المدينه
ما اكبر المدينه علي
Al Madini المدينة Lyrics Translation
In three cities we met
Before I knew your name
I found you on some rooftop
In the city
The city is big on me
It turned out you lived in our neighborhood
Close to the train station
I asked you ‘where to?’
Come have dinner at our place
It’s close to yours
A quiet street between the trees
I miss the silence of the trees
In the city
The city is big on me
Between the rooftops I knew you
The sunset of the city
The city is big on me
Between the stars
I sang you in my skies
Under the skies of the city
The city is big on me
And I knew you for a year
Before I knew myself
And the time passed
And the city changed
How small the city can feel
Sometimes
Between the rooftops I forgot you
The sunset of the city
The city is big on me
Between the stars
I sang you in my skies
Under the skies of the city
The city is big on me
