Saudi Arabia: What Does the Music Really Say?

 

Arab musician Zahed Sultan continues to build upon his unique mix of culture, heritage and art to express himself (and perhaps many of today’s young Arab youth) through his songs.

 

Here is one of his latest releases.  Watching the video and reading the lyrics does make me wonder though what is the TRUE message and meaning of his song?

 

 

LYRICS TRANSLATION

What Do I Do For You
Nothing Satisfies You
(Obnoxious Laugh)

The World Revolves, And People Evolve
And I Want Her, I Just Want Her

I Observed Her Persona When Out And About
And I’m Not Leaving Her
I Think About Her, I Just Want Her
I’m Not Leaving Her

Days Go By, And Days Will Come
And I Want Her
Summer Goes And Winter Comes
I Won’t Leave Her

Days Go By, And Days Will Come
And I Want Her
Summer Goes And Winter Comes
I Won’t Leave Her

The World Revolves, And People Evolve
And I Want Her, I Just Want Her
I Observed Her Persona When Out And About
And I’m Not Leaving Her
I Think About Her

That’s It, I’m Tired Of Thinking About And Wanting Her
Chasing After Her
I’m Going To Leave Her, That’s It I Don’t Want Her
I Don’t Think About Her

The World Revolves, And People Evolve
I Don’t Know If I Want Her, Or If I Should Just Leave Her

I Observed Her Persona When Out And About
I Think About Her, That’s It I Don’t Want Her
I’m Going To Leave Her, I’m Not Going To Leave Her,
I Think About Her, That’s It I Don’t Want Her
I Observed Her Persona When Out And About
I’m Going To Leave Her, I’m Not Going To Leave Her,
I Think About Her, And That’s It I Don’t Want Her
And That’s It I Don’t Want Her

I Observed Her Persona When Out And About

She Thinks About Me
She Just Wants Me
She Can Forget About It

 

Is it easier today for the Arab youth and especially the majority of Saudi youth to express themselves and their society better through art?  I’d like to hear from Saudi youth with their poems or music on how they express themselves, their lives and their society.
