غنوة حلوة وغنوتين حلوة يا بلدي
أملي دايما كان يا بلدي إني أرجع لك يا بلدي
وأفضل دايما جنبك على طول
وذكريات كل اللي فات فاكرة يا بلدي
قلبي مليان بحكايات فاكرة يا بلدي
أول حب كان في بلدي مش ممكن أنساه يا بلدي
كنا بنقول إن الفراق ده مستحيل
وكل دمعة على الخدين كانت بتسيل
مليانة بأمل إن إحنا نبقى موجودين
في بحر الحب على الشطين
كلمة حلوة وكلمتين حلوة يا بلدي
غنوة حلوة وغنوتين حلوة يا بلدي
فين حبيب القلب يا بلدي كان بعيد عني يا بلدي
وكل ما بغني بفكر فيه
قول يا حبيبي إنت سايبني ورايح فين
أجمل لحن ده حنغنيه إحنا الاِثنين
يا محلى كلمة بلدي في غنوة بين سطرين
يا ليل يا عين، يا عين يا ليل
يا ليلي، يا ليلي كلمة
حلوة يا بلدي
غنوة حلوة وغنوتين حلوة يا بلدي
أملي دايما كان يا بلدي إني أرجع لك يا بلدي
وأفضل دايما جنبك على طول
أملي دايما كان يا بلدي إني أرجع لك يا بلدي
وأفضل دايما جنبك على طول
كنا بنقول إن الفراق ده مستحيل
وكل دمعة على الخدين كانت بتسيل
مليانة بأمل إن إحنا نبقى موجودين
في بحر الحب على الشطين
كلمة حلوة وكلمتين حلوة يا بلدي
غنوة حلوة وغنوتين قمر يا بلدي
آه، آه، آه، آه
