سحرني وغلغل فيي سحرني، إجاني بالحنية وغيرني
سحرني وغلغل فيي سحرني، إجاني بالحنية وغيرني
عامللي طنة ورنة وآخد عقلاتي مني وهيدا ياللي مجنني، سحرني
(سحرني وغلغل فيي سحرني، إجاني بالحنية وغيرني)
(عامللي طنة ورنة وآخد عقلاتي مني وهيدا ياللي مجنني، سحرني)

علقني كيف ما بعرف كيف وما في غيره بيخطر ع بالي
خلاني بحال ما بعده حال، رايح جايي أحكي مع حالي

(علقني كيف ما بعرف كيف) وما في غيره بيخطر ع بالي
(خلاني بحال ما بعده حال) رايح جايي أحكي مع حالي
جبلى القمر لعندي وغفى النجمة ع زندي، عيشني بحلم الوردة، سحرني

سحرني وغلغل فيي سحرني، إجاني بالحنية وغيرني
عامللي طنة ورنة وآخد عقلاتي مني وهيدا ياللي مجنني، سحرني

خطفلى الروح، وين بدي روح، غير عقلي وقلبي بغمضة عين
كل الأحلام وكل الغرام وعيوا فيي وكبروا بيومين
(خطفلي الروح، وين بدي روح) غير عقلي وقلبي بغمضة عين
(كل الأحلام وكل الغرام) وعيوا فيي وكبروا بيومين
واليوم اللي قابلته لا حكيته ولا سألته عشقاني هيدا القلته، سحرني

(سحرني وغلغل فيي سحرني، إجاني بالحنية وغيرني)
سحرني وغلغل فيي سحرني، إجاني بالحنية وغيرني
عامللي طنة ورنة وآخد عقلاتي مني وهيدا ياللي مجنني، سحرني

سحرني

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Najwa Karam's song "Saherni" express the feeling of being enchanted and spellbound by someone's love. The repetition of the phrase "Saherni" emphasizes this feeling of being mesmerized and bewitched. The songwriter describes how the person's love has taken control of their mind and heart, causing them to lose their senses and behave irrationally.

Moreover, the lyrics also mention the idea of being lost in one's thoughts and daydreaming about the person they are in love with. The songwriter creates an image of being in a surreal world where the moon and stars are within reach and the dream of being in love is a reality. The phrase "jabali al-qamar li'indi" (bring me the moon) and "ghafat al-najma 'ala zindi" (the star fell on me) reinforce this dreamlike atmosphere.

Overall, the lyrics of "Saherni" capture the essence of being hopelessly in love, entranced by someone's love, and lost in a world of daydreams and fantasies.
