about

Charles Mingus' song " Self Portait in Three Colors" adapted to Arabic. A song that was exclusively instrumental.

lyrics

Self portait in Three Colors:
أوتو بورتريه

لما كون لحالي و عم روح، لبعيد، لقريب
برسم رسماتي، وبرسم حالي فيك
و بصير أحلى شوي،
لما كون، وحدي أنا،
بزعل بفرح انك هون
و ما عاد يسرقني منك اللون


لما كون لحالي و عم طير لبعيد، لقريب
و بقول لحالي
انو الموج الي عم يحملني الك
هو اللّون عالورق
أحمر، أزرق، انت اللّون
(و ما عاد يسرقني منك اللّون (الكون

---------

When I'm alone and I go
Near and far
I make my drawings
And I draw myself in you
And I become more beautiful

When I'm alone
It saddens me, it makes me happy
That you are here
And that no color
Will steal you
From me (again)*

When I'm alone
And I fly
Near and far
I say to myself
That the waves that carry me towards you
Are those colors in this drawing
Blue, red, you are all the colors
And none of them in this universe
Will take you
from me (again)
