مر بي

About the song

لحّن محمد عبد الوهاب «مُرّ بي»، وهي قصيدة لسعيد عقل، في أثناء إقامته في لبنان بين مايو وسبتمبر 1967، وكانت واحدة من خمسة ألحان وضعها في تلك الإقامة. غنّتها فيروز أول مرة في معرض دمشق الدولي سنة 1967، وصدرت الأسطوانة في السنة نفسها. وهي آخر لحن لعبد الوهاب غنّته فيروز، بتوزيع الأخوين رحباني.

Muḥammad ʻAbd al-Wahhāb composed «Murra bī», a poem by Saʻīd ʻAql, during his stay in Lebanon between May and September 1967; it was one of five melodies from that stay. Fayrūz sang it for the first time at the Damascus International Fair in 1967, and the record came out the same year. It was the last melody by ʻAbd al-Wahhāb that Fayrūz sang, in an arrangement by al-Akhawān Raḥbānī.
