Lyrics and music by Gaida

Take me to a far dream
To a world full of merriment
To a world full of flowers
Its neighbors without borders
Oh pedigreed
Beautiful mount
Kohled eyes
The moon of the night

Take me with you
My love
My friend
My dearest remedy
Jump over fences
Smuggle secrets,
A star, a bay leaf,
…and a pearl in the dark night

You and I will soon fly
The legends we will beautify
Take me by hand
Tall neck and determined
Your steps are fire
…and your wind is scent and cardamom

Lyrics and music by Gaida

This song was a surprise present for my youngest brother, Ammar, on his wedding.
My other brother Adel produced, arranged, and recorded the song.
Ammar and his bride walked to the song on their wedding night, as tears and ululations filled the room…

(Tell You Something)

Lyrics by Samer Ghazal
Music by Gaida

I want to tell you something
I want to say it to your eyes
And I don’t know how to begin
I see you and I forget
Then I remember that I wanted to tell you something

Every time I see you I try to tell you something
And I don’t know how to say it

Love in you is an art
What could you be?
Either I don’t know how to speak
Or you're crazy

(How can I love you?)

Lyrics by Lana Aoude
Music by Gaida and Amir ElSaffar

How can I love you?
My child, yet I never bore you
My man, yet you never possessed me
My lover, yet you never loved me
My brother, yet my mother did not have you
You are all that is beautiful to me
And nothing of yours is mine
You’ve captivated me, yet never imprisoned me
You have surrounded me, yet never laid siege over me
You came from the remnants of my dreams
And lived in the core of my heart
And stayed and grew
You came to me as a shadow
A fog, a question
And you left as rain and a vision
How do I love a vision?
I named you the son of the moon
My travel companion
My sad little bird
Who inhabits the cities of memories
I protect you inside my sight
And hide within your gentle shadow
How do I love you?
Like a rare summer breeze
Like the new buds of spring
Like a full moon on a cloudy night
Like an illusion…

(Greetings from Damascus)

Lyrics and music by gaida

Greetings from Damascus…
Greetings from a loving heart…
I send it to you with the waves of the ocean
Greetings to the people of peace, love, and mercy
Greetings to the ones climbed Qasiyun Mountain
And rested on the banks of Baradā River
Greetings to my neighbors in Beirut
To my friends in the South
To my children in Jerusalem
To the loved ones in Baghdad, Mussel, and Khartoum.
Greetings to every innocent child who cried and still crying from pain or deprivation.
Greetings to every one who speaks the letter Dhad and smiled light in spite of the accumulation darkness.
Greetings to my mother and father.
I huge you
I huge you with my body and I for you I scarify to my soul and existence
I love you I love you I love you.
Here I’m
Between your hands I’m
So take me to you…take me...

Translation coming soon

Lyrics by Maroon Karam
Music by Gaida and Jeruis Basir

How hard it is for us to be together after being separated
Oh! , what separation has done to us.
When we were young friends
Our happiness filled the house...

We were raised to love one another
Oh! , what separation has done to us.
When you were leaving as we stood by the door
And I was saying my goodbyes
I promised you that anywhere you go…

You will be my love forever
Oh! , what separation has done to us.
How hard it is for us to be together after being separated
Oh! , what separation has done to us.

(The Country Girl)

Music and lyrics by Gaida

Oh country girl!
Beautiful
Tender Hearted
Full of energy
And she is crazy about you boy

I’m your lover and near you will stay
My heart takes over my brain
Oh County girl
She is a pleasing breeze
With good morning her day begins
In bad times she does not complain
A whisper-a touch- and a long night
You are in my heart and my heart is right
Your wishes are orders
My heart and my thoughts are yours
Oh County girl
She is a pleasing breeze

Come with me my love
And forget the past
And see how life is beautiful with me
I will never betray you
My eyes I will give you
I will never neglect you
With my soul I will protect you

Oh country girl!
Beautiful
Tender Hearted
Full of energy
And she is crazy about you boy
