Translation
A gaze that captivates, a magic of many kinds,
And my heart—oh, it needs protection, my dear.
A rose lifted high, its color deadly,
It keeps me busy, wiping away the past.
The way those eyes are drawn—may God help
Everyone who falls under their spell.
Diamonds on rubies—I could die for them,
From the sweetness of her voice, oh how it melts me.
Ah… ah… ah…
From the sweetness of her voice, oh how it melts me.
Her presence shines like diamonds,
She needs guards to protect her.
Her black eyes tied my heart,
Sweet as sugar, like a bunch of grapes.
Her charm speaks in her smile like a melody,
Her beauty steals hearts away.
Diamonds on rubies—I could die for them,
From the sweetness of her voice, oh how it melts me.
Ah… ah… ah…
From the sweetness of her voice, oh how it melts me.
Arabic Lyrics
رمش خطاف والسحر أصناف
وانا قلبي يتخاف عليه يا بابا
ورد يتشال ولونه قتال
شغلني وأزال مافات يا بابا
رسمه العين دي ربنا يعين
كل اللي والعين منهم يا بابا
ماس على ياقوت هموت عليها موت
من رقة الصوت آهين يا بابا
آهي آهي آهي آهي آهي آه
من رقة الصوت آهين يا بابا
آهي آهي آهي آهي آهي آه
من رقة الصوت آهين يا بابا
خد وناس وضيُّه كالماس
عايزله حراس عليه يا بابا
العيون سود وقلبي معقود
سكر وعنقود عنب يا بابا
الدلال قال في الضحكه موال
وحسنها اغتال قلوب يا بابا
ماس على ياقوت هموت عليها موت
من رقة الصوت آهين يا بابا
آهي آهي آهي آهي آهي آه
من رقة الصوت آهين يا بابا
آهي آهي آهي آهي آهي آه
من رقة الصوت آهين يا بابا
آهي آهي آهي آهي آهي آه
من رقة الصوت آهين يا بابا
آهي آهي آهي آهي آهي آه
من رقة الصوت آهين يا بابا
