	Arrozana is about the pain of lost love. Like a breeze through the window, love is seen as a brief, passing experience. The opening of the work features two taqasim (improvisations) in the Arabic Rast maqam (mode or scale): the first on the nay (end-blown flute) andf the second a vocal improvisation (mawwal).

	Story Behind the Song Arrozana is a song that has been sung by generations of Palestinian Arabs, but which has been overshadowed by the music and poetry of a people living under occupation. For Palestinians in particular, Arrozana will bring back memories of a time long gone.n Lyrics 1) Arrozana, Arrozana, koolil hawa feeha, Through the window, through the window the breeze flows, Weish Imlat ir-rozana, Allah yijazeeha Why has the window imposed on me? 2) Ya rayhin 'a-Halab, hubbi ma'akum rah, Hey you going to Aleppo, my love goes with you, Ya mhamlinl-'inab fo' il-'inab tuffah Carrying grapes and apples on top. 3) Kull min 'indu mahbuba w'ana hubbi rah Everybody has somebody and mine has left. Ya Rabbi nasmit hawa traj'-'il-wilfi liyya Oh spring breeze bring my love back. 4) Haji truh w-tiji, idak 'ala khaddak, Don’t come again and again with your hands on your cheek, in vain. Ti'sha banatil-l-'arab, wiflus ma 'indak. And don’t love Arab girls if you have no money. ˇ
