Lyrics & Translation

[English]

حبيبي, I love you

I need you, حبيبي

غنيلي و خليني معاك

حبيبي, I love you

I need you, حبيبي

دوبني في نار هواك

أول مرة شفتك اتغير حالي

احساس غريب ما عرفت مالي

بغيتك حبيتك تكوني ديالي

نعيش حياتي معك

حلوة بزاف يحسن عواني

ملكتي روحي سلبتي كياني

كلمة حبيبي خلت لساني

يغني بكل اللغات

Ohhh!

يا حبيبي لا لا

حرام عليك تخليني وحدي في يوم

يمشي من عيني النوم من خوفي عليك

حبيبي, I love you

I need you, حبيبي

غنيلي و خليني معاك

حبيبي, I love you

I need you, حبيبي

دوبني في نار هواك

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 don't I'mma hunt you like a Chris Webber

time out, final four!

So 'til the sky comes crushing down

World falls apart

'til death do us part

You're my heart for sure!

حبيبي, I love you

I need you, حبيبي

غنيلي و خليني معاك

حبيبي, I love you

I need you, حبيبي

دوبني في نار هواك

مكاين لاش نغير من حالي

ولا نحاول نكون مثالي

بركة غير جنوني وهبالي عليك

يخلوني حداك

يا حبيبي لا لا

حرام عليك تخليني وحدي في يوم

يمشي من عيني النوم من خوفي عليك

حبيبي, I love you

I need you, حبيبي

غنيلي و خليني معاك

حبيبي, I love you

I need you, حبيبي

دوبني في نار هواك
