Hallo! I invite you to listen to my version of the popular british song "Greensleeves" with a "touch" of spanish guitar. Bye! Have a nice day! Amparo García-Otero. Singer and songwriter. Spain.
EID AL ADHA The radiant sun I see through my window smiling as it does, it gladdens my heart - a welcome harbinger, it lets me know that it's Eid ul Adha, subhanallah!
At once I see, in the vista of my eye this brotherhood of man, from near and far every colour and creed, I hear them cry - for this gift of Allah, - al hamdulillah!
I see hujjaj, resplendent in white arriving for Haj, a da'eem of Islam - one of the seven, and so it is writ, at the haram of Allah, al Baitullah!
A magnificent jewel, all gilted and in black swirling and swaying in the sea of white The Ka'bah, I see, for goodness sake - Allaho Akber, ma'shallah!
The tawaf of Ka'bah, round and round tiptoeing Safa and Marwah too, to Musdhalifah and beyond on top of Arafa', before Allah!
I see them stoning the Satan, in fact united in purpose and doing their farz For muslimeen, a symbolic act in the name of Allah, bismillah!
Blessed are those who are gifted with zabihat 'Eid Mubarak' n' tehniyaat to one and all
