Beethoven: Symphony No. 9 in D minor Op. 125 'Ode an die Freude

The Vanity of Compassion, 1934.

بعدَ موتي وتعفّن جَسدي
ستستمر الحدائق بالإزهار،
البَّحر بالجريان والسمَاء باللمعان،
و ستستمر رقصتُهم،
تماماً كما اليوم،
ويستمر الشتاء والربيع،
والصيف والخريف بالقّدوم على أعتاب بابي.
سوف يسير الآخرون في شهر أبريل
بِمُحاذاة البستان،
حيثُ سرتُ هناك في أوقاتٍ عديدة.
سيكون ثمّة الكثير من غروب الشمس 
البطيء على المُّحيط،
وسيحبُ الآخرون الأمور التي هويتُها،
سيكون الضّيَاء ذاتهُ،
المَرح ذاتهُ،
والحديقة ذاتها التي تَقبعُ قُربَ سريريّ.
وبعض الخُّصل الذهبية التي تَنسلُ مِن الغّابة،
تماماً كما كانت قبلَ أنّ أموت.

-صوفيا دي ميللو

You Walk On Corpses, Beauty Undismayed.

Item title: Youahidouni la khanani
Contributor: Pasha, Sett Salima
Matrix number: OZ 69  30-11989
Performance note: Pesta song. The Jewish Iraqi singer Sett Salima Pasha (later: Salima Murad; ‘Sett’ being used for honorific for ‘Lady’; ‘Pasha‘ an honorific title) lived from 1900 to 1972 and was the best-known singer in Iraq. Indicating on the label ('Koweiti Female Song with acc.')  the musical piece is originally from Kuwait. There is a high possibility that the two Kuwaiti musicians Dawud al-Kuweiti (singer, composer and ‘ūd player, 1910-1976 ) and Salih al-Kuweiti (lyricist, violin player, 1908-1986) supported Salima and/or wrote the song. Both were born in Kuwait into an Iraqi family from Basra and got known in the Iraqi music scene from end of 1920s and 1930s onwards. Musical instruments are: violin, qānūn box zither (or the santūr, a hammered dulcimer) and drums (daff or darbūkka?). With her husband, the famous singer Nazim Al-Ghazali, Salima became renowed as an expert pesta singer.
