Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

مشتاق كتير ارجع شوفك يا عمري
هالعمر زغير بتكفيني منك كلمة
مشتاق كتير ارجع شوفك يا عمري
هالعمر زغير بتكفيني منك كلمة
سهرت عينيي و بئيت خبرية
و شمعة مضوية بحبك و بطير
مشتاق كتير ارجع شوفك يا عمري
هالعمر زغير بتكفيني منك كلمة

سهرت عينيي و بئيت خبرية
و شمعة مضوية بحبك و بطير

عيوني دابت بعيونك
و قلبي صاير مجنونك
و جفوني نسياني النوم
شتئتلك يا غرامي
كنت محلي ايامي
و عمشوفك كل يوم بيوم
قلبي بيسألني عنك
دخلك طمني وينك
يا حلم ساكن هالليل
أحلى حلم بحياتي
أيامي و زكرياتي
و بغيابك عمدوء الويل

مشتاق كتير احكيلك عللي بقلبي
خدني مشاوير وحدي حسيت بغربي
مشتاق كتير احكيلك عللي بقلبي
خدني مشاوير وحدي حسيت بغربي
سهرت عينيي و بئيت خبرية
و شمعة مضوية بحبك و بطير

عيوني دابت بعيونك
و قلبي صاير مجنونك
و جفوني نسياني النوم
شتئتلك يا غرامي
كنت محلي ايامي
و عمشوفك كل يوم بيوم
قلبي بيسألني عنك
دخلك طمني وينك
يا حلم
أغلى حلم بحياتي

بأيامي و زكرياتي
بغيابك عمدوء الويل
