Najwa Karam Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

بتعمل راى
لو بطلت تلاقينى
بتعمل راى
لو بطلت تحاكينى
أنا مليت الحكى والوعد
ماعاد فيى أنطر بعد
لو كان حبك كلو سعد
بطل حبك يعنينى

غلطان لو كنت مفكر
رح أزعل عليك
بتروح مابعود بفكر
لاقيك ولابعينيك
بما أنو للصبر حدود
ماعاد بدى حكى ووعود
لو هالكون بتعطينى

ياريت بتريح قلبى
بتتركنى بأمان
وماتعود تحلم بحبى
وتنسى يللى كان
أنا قدرانه كون بلاك

ريحنى ونسينى هواك
حتى أسمك نسينى
