Najwa Karam Lyrics

ابوس عينك قلي من وين جايب رقتك
ابوس عينك قلي من وين جايب طيبتك
اسكتك فى العين والجفن والاهداب
وحطك بقلي واقفل عليك الباب
تتنفس انفاسى وتحس باحساسى
وتتاكد بنفسك يالغالى كم تساوي قيمتك

غيرتنى وغيرت رايي بالهوى

لينتلي راسى العنيد .
ذبحتنى وما عاد ينفعني دوى
ذبحتنى حتى الوريد .
ويلي ويلي . ويلي ويلي . ويلي ويلي . ويلي ويلي

اسكتك فى العين والجفن والاهداب
وحطك بقلي واقفل عليك الباب

تتنفس انفاسى وتحس باحساسى
وتتاكد بنفسك يالغالى كم تساوي قيمتك
