For the best audio quality, capturing the warmth of the harp, listen with headphones!

***

This absolutely mesmerizing Arabic love song was specially commissioned by an upcoming bride for her wedding reception!

This arrangement was originally mostly inspired by Tamar Torokian's piano arrangement (   • Min Awel Dekika-Elissa Saad Lamjarrad...  ). It fit so well on harp that I only made a few stylistic changes!

"Min Awel Dekika" translates as: "Since the First Minute". The translated lyrics are below.

****

I get jealous of my eye when I see you
And this is what I have become
If I hear my name exit your mouth
I tell you to repeat it
And I will never in my life be able to explain
How much I love you

Draw me in your night as a star
It's light glitters in the eye
Write me in your life as a word
That people will say after
I just wish to live more than my life
Maybe two lives just with you

If you ask for my eyes
Even if you ask for my life
I will give you the remaining years
And I will be happy and joyous
You, when you are near me
I finally feel like I am a human

Since the first minute
To your love, my heart leaned
I learned in a hundred way
That change ways by ways
I get dizzy in reality
You are my life and my fantasy

Since the first minute
To your love, my heart leaned
I learned in a hundred way
That change ways by ways
I get dizzy in reality
You are my life and my fantasy

I need you to stay with me
My help and the love of my dreams
My heart, when its near you, it is comfortable
Stay in front of me, always
Before I even finish a word
You finish it for me

Your presence completes me
You made my life worth living
My feeling in your love took me
And I will continue following
Your hug, my love, I can never
For a second live outside of it

There is someone always at your back
And in your weakness she will strengthen you
Demand her, my love, and your demand
She will say tell me your wishes
Near you, till the end of your life
She will live just to please you

Since the first minute
To your love, my heart leaned
I learned in a hundred way
That change ways by ways
I get dizzy in reality
You are my life and my fantasy

Since the first minute
To your love, my heart leaned
I learned in a hundred way
That change ways by ways
I get dizzy in reality
You are my life and my fantasy
