I Fell In Love With The Arabian Boy, Poem by Liza Sud

I Fell In Love With The Arabian Boy,

Rating: 3.5

To a Syrian boy-singer from Voice Kids.

I fell in love with the Arabian boy,
he sang a song 'I'd rather be'.
And Laitman's Сongress was at home,
but I didn't attend because of him.

I fell in love with the Arabian boy,
His singing better was than of the author,
I fell in love with other boys and girls,
with their singing, eyes and deep bell voices!

I fell in love with the Arabian boy,
although the jews always seem more spiritual,
my life is oxymoron, paradox!
I start to love God's Light in every creature!

**
Я влюбилась в арабского мальчика,
он пел песню 'I'd rather be',
и хотя к нам приехал Лайтман -
не пошла его посетить.

Я влюбилась в арабского мальчика,
он пел лучше, чем автор песни,
и в других девчонок влюблялась я -
в их глаза, звонкий голос, песни.

Я влюбилась в арабского мальчика,
хоть духовней казались евреи,
жизнь - оксюморон, парадоксальная, -
Свет от Бога - во всех твореньях.

You call this poem a paradox and that is so true: paradox is the sudden arrival of something totally unexpected, disrupting routines of behavior and injecting something N-E-W. You declare I fell in love with the Arabian boy three times which shows the impact of his performance goes really deep. You can't resist it. But the last two lines are stunning: You succeed in integrating this impact in your religious outlook, so that it joins your regular orthodox path rather than disrupting it. The very last line is so beautiful, the stress of the experience of the Arabian boy is eased and it becomes one with other benign experiences. In that closing line you rescue yourself.
