من اول يوم تلاقينا سواء
صرنا يا حبيبي بامر الهوى
من اول يوم عشقنا بالهنى
عرفتك يا حبيبي حبيبي انا

وكبرالحب وبنار الحب تدفينا
صرنا نحب ندفي بعض بعينينا
ونعشق يا حبيبي اكثر ونشوف الدنيا اكبر

ومن الحب الي بعينينا طول العمر راح ابقى معك

بقلبي وعيني وحساسي الك سرقني الحب بغياب القدر
خلاني حب احلى من القمر
كبر الحب وبنار الحب تدفينا
صرنا نحب ندفي بعض بعينينا

ونعشق يا حبيبي اكثر ونشوف الدنيا اكبر
من الحب الي بعينينا
