English translation

This is the first time in my life I see someone
Her eyes are safety
And take me, far away
In her embrace I found paradise and saw things
And lived atmospheres
And new feelings

What’s the secret of this being, I don’t know
She took my life
Without permission
Made me surrender, my heart and soul here
And I love her so much
What a person

And by the way, I went crazy
Became addicted to her breath
And in her eyes I died
I’d sacrifice myself for her

A being unlike any other, someone whose face is angelic
Like an angel
But her embrace is destruction
I love her to the point of leaving my soul with her
Love with madness
I’m so jealous

I wish someone among you, would explain to me
What’s happening to me
I can’t sleep anymore
I don’t love life except with her
And hate it without her
What is this love
And I will sing with my voice to her
Hello my soul Hamza… hello
With blood I will pledge to her
To stay all my life with her

Arabic lyrics

هاي اول مره ابعمري اشوف انسان
عيونه امان
وياخذني … بعيد
لكيت بأحضانه الجنه وشفت اشياء
وعشت اجواء
واحساس اجديد
….
شنو سر هالكائن ……….. ما ادري
اخذ عمري
بلا استأذان
خلاني اسلم …. كلبي وروحي هاي
واحبه اهواي
شهالانسان
….
وعلى فكره . اتجننت
مدمن انفاسه صرت
وبعيونه … اني متت
اروح فدوه … للسواه
…
كائن مايشبه … واحد وجهه هلاك
چنه ملاك
وحضنه دمار
احبه الحد تارك روحي ويمه البال
حب بخبال
اهوايه اغار
….
فدوه احد منكم ………. يشرحلي
شصايرلي
ماجاي انام
صاير ماحب ……… الدنيا الا وياه
واكرها بلاه
شهذا الغرام
وراح اغني . بصوتي اله
هلا وروحى الحمزه … هلا
بالدم … راح ابصم اله
ابقى كل .. عمري وياه
