Najwa Karam Lyrics

وع هجرو انا قلبى داب
كلن نسيونى ياليل
غيرك مش باقيلى صحاب
ياما عشنا بالاحلام
وعدنى قال بيسعدنى
والهوى تارى اوهام
ياريتو ماوعدنى
قلبى من بعدو مجروح
كلن نسيونى ياليل
غيرك مش باقيلى صحاب
للفرقه ماحسبت حساب
شو صاير لك ياقلبى
دايب من كتر العذاب
وعليى عم تخبى
لاكنت تحن ولاتوب
قبلك ياما دابو قلوب
كلن نسيونى ياليل
غيرك مش باقيلى صحاب
The lyrics of "Habibi Ghab" by Najwa Karam are about heartbreak and longing for a lost love. The singer is addressing her absent lover, who she still loves despite his desertion. She laments the fact that everyone else has forgotten about her, but her heart still belongs solely to him. The singer remembers how they used to dream together, how he promised to make her happy, and how she was deceived by their love, wishing he hadn't made her any promises. She questions where her soul should go now that he's gone, as it's been left wounded and unable to move on.
The singer then reflects on how she never thought she would be in this predicament, and wonders what happened to her heart. She's drowning in her emotions, feeling alive only when she thinks of him. She believes that she's paid a dear price for the happiness they shared, as she never took into account how it would feel to lose him. In the final verses, she expresses her despair at being alone, longing for his return and the way things were before he left. She realizes how much she underestimated the pain of separation, how her love still burns for him, and how she's unable to find anyone else to share her company within his absence.
