Arabic Lyrics to "Tahwak" by Sophia Marikh




في أعماقي أبحث
كيف الزمان والوقت يقاس

من ساعة ما عيناك آتت قلبي
ايقظت فيها الإحساس

كل شيء تبدل
وجوه الناس
أحبتها عيناي

اختزلت المسافات 
رسمت الحكايات
وأحببت الحياة

أنا إمرأة تهواك
وأعشق من قلبي
ولو أحببت من قبلي
لن تهوى بعدي

أهوااااك
قلبي يسكنه هواك

كيف انساك؟

وتراني أرحل 
أنا بالخيال
في دفء الأشعار

وبحنان انت تأخذ يدي
وتسقط كل الأسرار

لن اسمح لغيري
بالإقتراب
منك مستحيل

لغيري لا مكان
فليقف الزمان
يا حبيبي الآن
أنا إمرأة تهواك
وأعشق من قلبي
ولو أحببت من قبلي
لن تهوى بعدي

أهوااااك
قلبي يسكنه هواك

كيف انساك؟
