حبيبي, I love you

I need you, حبيبي

Sunt vorbe de jar de simt

Yeah

حبيبي, I love you

I need you, حبيبي

Arată-mi ce simți, nu e greu

...

أول مرة شفتك اتغير حالي

احساس غريب ما عرفت مالي

بغيتك حبيتك تكوني ديالي

An sezz vieviel

Nu am uitat cum mi-ai schimbat starea

Când totul era gri, mi-ai adus culoarea

Avem nevoie doar de noi să ne iubim

să ne iubim

Ohhh!

Ohh, ya حبيبي la la

Regresame

Ando yo sin rumbo

mi corazón camina hacia ti

حبيبي, I love you

I need you, حبيبي

Sunt vorbe de jar de simt

Yeah

حبيبي, I love you

I need you, حبيبي

Arată-mi ce simți, nu e greu

...

I play this game closely

For the bread and butter, huh!

Yeah, they try to toast me

I'm married to the game

But the game don't love me

Hey, don't leave me in a heartbeat

That's why I'm cold-blooded

When I say I love you, I mean it deeply

I can't see life without you living with me

And if you love someone I know you feel me

When I say before they take you they want to kill me

even when you're gone I'mma hunt you like a Chris Webber

time out, final four!

So 'til the sky comes crashing down

World falls apart

'til death do us part

You're my heart for sure!

حبيبي, I love you

I need you, حبيبي

Sunt vorbe de jar de simt

Yeah

حبيبي, I love you

I need you, حبيبي

Arată-mi ce simți, nu e greu

...

Yo quiero nacer de nuevo a tu lado

Loco por las calles busco tu mano

Avem nevoie doar de noi să ne iubim

să ne iubim

Ohh, ya حبيبي la la

Haram alik tkhallini wa7di fi youm

Yamchi min 3ayni n-noum min khoufi 3alik

حبيبي, I love you

I need you, حبيبي

Sunt vorbe de jar de simt

Yeah

حبيبي, I love you

I need you, حبيبي

Arată-mi ce simți, nu e greu
