가사
[Verse 1]
I walked the old stone road
With dust on my shoes
The bakery door was open
And the air knew you
Your name stayed on my tongue
Like cardamom and rain
I turned the corner slowly
And felt it all again
[Pre-Chorus]
Ya qalbi, hold me here
Don’t let the miles win
The moon above Sanaa
Pulls the past back in
[Chorus]
Ya Sanaa, call me back
Call me back tonight
My heart still knows your steps
My heart still turns right
Ya Sanaa, call me back
Dance me through the ache
I left with your shadow
Now I move, I break
[Verse 2]
The kettle on the roof
The laugh from next door
The silver cups were shining
Like they had before
Your mother’s hands were busy
With tea and with bread
Every little thing you touched
Still wakes inside my head
[Pre-Chorus]
Ya qalbi, hold me here
Let the old songs stay
The marwas in my chest
Won’t let the night away
[Chorus]
Ya Sanaa, call me back
Call me back tonight
My heart still knows your steps
My heart still turns right
Ya Sanaa, call me back
Dance me through the ache
I left with your shadow
Now I move, I break
[Bridge]
If I hear one drum
I’m yours again
If I see one door
I’m there again
Tell the wind my name
Tell it soft and low
I was not the same
Since I had to go
[Final Chorus]
Ya Sanaa, call me back
Call me back tonight
My heart still knows your steps
My heart still turns right
Ya Sanaa, call me back
Dance me through the ache
I left with your shadow
Now I move, I break
Ya Sanaa, call me back
Call me back tonight
I walked the old stone road
With dust on my shoes
The bakery door was open
And the air knew you
Your name stayed on my tongue
Like cardamom and rain
I turned the corner slowly
And felt it all again
[Pre-Chorus]
Ya qalbi, hold me here
Don’t let the miles win
The moon above Sanaa
Pulls the past back in
[Chorus]
Ya Sanaa, call me back
Call me back tonight
My heart still knows your steps
My heart still turns right
Ya Sanaa, call me back
Dance me through the ache
I left with your shadow
Now I move, I break
[Verse 2]
The kettle on the roof
The laugh from next door
The silver cups were shining
Like they had before
Your mother’s hands were busy
With tea and with bread
Every little thing you touched
Still wakes inside my head
[Pre-Chorus]
Ya qalbi, hold me here
Let the old songs stay
The marwas in my chest
Won’t let the night away
[Chorus]
Ya Sanaa, call me back
Call me back tonight
My heart still knows your steps
My heart still turns right
Ya Sanaa, call me back
Dance me through the ache
I left with your shadow
Now I move, I break
[Bridge]
If I hear one drum
I’m yours again
If I see one door
I’m there again
Tell the wind my name
Tell it soft and low
I was not the same
Since I had to go
[Final Chorus]
Ya Sanaa, call me back
Call me back tonight
My heart still knows your steps
My heart still turns right
Ya Sanaa, call me back
Dance me through the ache
I left with your shadow
Now I move, I break
Ya Sanaa, call me back
Call me back tonight
