Hello out there, dear people of the blogosphere. How are you doing? I very much hope that life is treating you well and if not rest assured that my thoughts and prayers go out to you!

Today’s prompt might or might not be a sad one. Jim gave it to us and it is:

A love that hurts, a breakup or heartbreak. Thanks Jim!

Please head over to Jim’s blog A Unique Title For Me to stay and enjoy informative music posts.

Again I made my musical way outside the Western world music arena and stumbled over an artist who those who watched the Special Olympics in Abu Dabhi in 2019 might recognise. Her name is Assala Nasri. She was born in Syria but gained much success in Egypt, Bahrain her new home and all over the Middle East.

She was criticised on her stance over the Syrian Civil war: From the beginning, she was against Bashar Al Assad even though his father authorized her treatment for polio. She, however, is a humanitarian and wants the war ended to stop the suffering of the people of Syria.

The song I chose fits the prompt for heartbreak (I think…) as it tells the story of a woman who has fallen for an egotistic man even though she is a “classy” girl. I loved the video from the beginning even though it is not a particularly sad one, I find. But what’s better against heartache than to move your hips?????

Have fun with this beautiful video 🙂

As always, please follow the link underneath the video if it doesn’t play here on the blog.

A classy girl

Lyrics via LyricsTranslate

he is being egoist and he brags about himself ,

continues with being stubborn and impatient

and I am from a classy family

and I am a classy girl,

and one of the most beautiful girls among my people

Oh God he is so handsome,

everyone talks about him

like a flower that grew up

before the season without watering and planting 

oh father, his beauty is a long story ,

like a sweet grape drink quenches the thirst

and I was thirsty ,

I followed my heart with my eyes closed

and went to him even though we are not the same,

but he is my destiny and my karma

and because he didn’t leave me alone,

I complained to his people and they don’t care

 he is egoist and that is making it so hard for me

apparently he doesn’t know who I am

and my family is like one hundred family all together

everyone here calls me the classy girl ,

very famous in the society

but I am tired now and because of him

I carry all this sorrow

like a hundred family all together
