في مرات، صايرة كتير، بسأل حالي انا مين و بعرف لما انسى اسأل حالي شي في اوقات مدري كيف، بيكمش قلبي عالخفيف و بيرجع بيفتح، بعدا دايما برجع بفرح و في ايام، بين التنين، ببطل اعرف انا وين و ازا اجى حدا ليسألني مين بكون كيف بقول مين سألوني انا مين انا مين، سألوني انا مين انو كيف بدي ضلني عيدها هي زاتها نفس اللعبة مش قليلة اعمل من حياتي كلّا قصة وحدة انا مني دايماً زاتها و كلما طلع عبالي بصير ... حدا تاني ... حدا تاني بصير، حدا تاني كل ما طلع عبالي فيي صير عبطير عمبسرح بهل أعالي و ما في شي على بالي غير صوت العصافير هَي انا لما بكون عمبطير أو فيي اوووولع بلحظة اقلب حالي نار لشعلة جايي تنوِّر دار انا هون و هونيك انا هيدي و هيديك سألوني انا مين انا حالي و الملايين انا هيدي و هيديك انا هون و هونيك ما كل ما قلت عن حالي شيَ بلاقي حالي علقت فيه English translation “Ana Min” There are times, oftentimes, where I ask myself who I am And I get my answer when I forget to ask myself anything At other times, how to say, my heart contracts ever so slightly, but then it always reopens, and I go back to feeling the joy all over again And there are some in between days, where I don’t even know where I am anymore So if someone comes and asks me who I am, what can I say? and they ask me who I am Who am I? They ask me who I am Tell me how I am supposed to choose being stuck in the same loop It is a lot to ask of me to reduce my whole life to a single story whereas I am never the same And every time I feel like it, I become … someone else I become someone else, someone else… I can be wandering in the higher realms, with nothing on my mind but love and all the birds That's me when I'm flying around Or I can burst into flames in an instant, transform into fire for a torch coming to light up a home I am this, and the other I am here and I am there I am the carrier of time I am the heart of the volcano and I get what it says and why it sometimes chooses to sleep I am the pulse of the universe And get myself known as I drown in my own being I am the tender love And I am the secret of silence And I stop talking so I can hear I am the echo of the valleys I am the echo of all those who want to say They ask me who I am And how am I supposed to answer when I know beyond a doubt that every time I say something about myself, I find myself trapped in it every time I say something about me, I am trapped They ask me who I am; I am myself and… They ask me who I am; I am myself and… They ask me who I am; I am myself and the millions They ask me who I am; I am myself and the millions

Je n'ai aucune envie d'être ailleurs Nulle autre fortune ne me tente Je suis bien là où je suis... Tellement bien... L' autre bout de la Terre est mirage De ce que je vis ici même Quitte a faire, faire en sorte que l'on s'aime La ou on est Se mettre à danser Dire avec le corps de belles choses Se laisser caresser Par le plaisir... d'être... Et le temps ce petit chenapan Lui s'amuse à nous faire croire Qu'il se doit de courir pour écrire notre histoire Avant l'heure c'est pas l'heure, faut s'y faire Ne pas chercher à se prendre au cou d'un moment tendre qui ne faisait que passer Et Puis Se mettre à danser Dire avec le corps de belles choses S'élancer s'enlacer S'y perdre pour mieux se retrouver Se mettre à danser Dire je t'aime à la vie avec les hanches Se laisser envahir Par le plaisir... D' Être. On est ce que l'on est Faut pas trop chercher Pas besoin d'un dessin pour reconnaître cet être qu'on est Dès qu'on naît on est quelqu'un Déjà quelqu'un de bien Pas bénin pas anodin, Comme pas un, Ha Faut pas se leurrer Y'a pas de règles qu'on connaisse, Qui s'appliquent à tout le monde A tout va, à la ronde Aux autres comme aux uns Aux amants aux voisins Et puis à toi aussi Ne reconnais tu pas, unique exemplaire La recette de ta joie, c' est que toi qui l'as Mmmm Personne d' autre que toi Mmmm Et pour avancer Se mettre à danser Dire avec le corps de belles choses S'élancer s'enlacer S'y perdre pour mieux se retrouver Se mettre à danser Dire je t'aime à la vie avec les hanches Se laisser envahir Par le plaisir... D' Être.

Follow me, I've got some time to be In the middle of the sea somewhere You must know, this particular glow, It is calling See that shine, see that glistening line Where the sun and the sea come to dance You can say what you way When they do it's a heavenly romance Rock my boat would you do that for me Seems I like you, more than just a bit You can tell just by looking at me how it matters to me... that you're coming I'm gonna be a sailor I'm gonna be a sailor Can you see what I see when I say what I'm saying I'm gonna go sailin' I'm gonna be a sailor I'm gonna be a sailor It's a dream that I seem to have seen in a mirror I'm gonna, gonna go sailing

about

"انا مين Ana Min" is Frida's third album. It weaves together all the different elements of the musical universe particular to her: messages of Love and Liberation, melodies born from and for the heart, rhythms that seem to come simultaneously from everywhere and nowhere in particular, her deeply resonant voice of course, and "her favorite playmates on the planet" as she likes to call her musicians.

“انا مين - Ana Min“ is also the Lebanese half of Here&There Vol 1 - Switzerland edition (which was documented in a short documentary movie in 2022): a thought experiment on what would happen in a world where musicians are the new diplomats, the ones building bridges between countries and therefore creating real, tangible harmony.
