Silent beauty: A heartwarming-sounding tv commercial
Not all television commercials are annoying. Some are beautifully-crafted like this Zain mobile commercial.
It's entitled Silent Beauty, a Zain tv commercial running in most MBC programs.The boy's sweet voice, even if I can't understand the language, is simply angelic. The simple melody is lulling. And of course, the artistically-painted hands depicting various objects are simply amazing.
The music's English translation is as below. Hmmm...profound! I hardly understood what it meant, but I really liked the full concept.
Did you see the sun lighting up the sky?
Nourishing life with its radiance and rising above?
I called out ot it with the songs of my voice...
But it wouldn't speak.
Did you see the flowers bloom in spring?
Their beauty captivates the heart,
and quenches its thirst.
I reporached them for being away too long...
But they wouldn't speak.
And then in the distance I see
A beautiful girl playing with her dolls.
I asked her why she plays alone,
But she couldn't speak
Then I realized after all of this...
That we've become blind to the truth.
So much beauty is around us
But it cannot speak.
Natural beauty reminds me the beauty of beautiful lilies in the fields, in compare to the glory of a King, King Solomon.
No hard work, but the beauty of nature is simple and refreshing.
People never stops enjoying the sea, but they get fed up looking to new buildings being built.
Who can beat God's wisdom to create wonderful things kasi? And we see it but we do not appreciate it.
Wow, that was a beautiful commecial. Although I do not understand Arabic, I really find it amazing, especially the flowers, the sun, the bird and that tree with fans as its leaves.
And one more thing, the commercial gives me the feeling that everything is happening inside a space ship. It's like an alien abduction.
Yes, I was always drawn to this commercial everytime it is played. Simply captivating and mesmerizing but dont care much of the howling.
Btw, how did you get the translation in english? That one is pretty amazing too. Or the poet in Nebz did all the magic?
I also couldn't understand Arabic, so thanks for the translation. Indeed, beautiful. The voice is angelic and the tune is nice. Did you know that I love listening to foreign songs like Indian, Arabic, Korean and Chinese? even if I didn't understand them, the sounds and voice alone make me appreciate them ;)
Kuya, I've seen that Ad but I don't pay much attention to it kasi napakatinis ng boses ng bata, sakit sa tengga. I prefer the moulin rouge - bollywood commercial JOOMLAY.
