Lyrics
Verse 1
Woke up with the desert breeze,
Golden light dancing through the trees,
You whisper softly, ya leil, ya leil,
Night fades slow, your love prevails.
Pre-Chorus
In the rhythm of the waves we find our song,
Between the sands and skies where hearts belong.
Chorus
Habibi, take me where the sun don’t hide,
Under palm trees, where the stars collide,
We’ll sing yalla, to the morning sky,
Ma‘ak ya habibi, you and I.
Verse 2
Got your laughter in the ocean sound,
Every heartbeat’s a sacred ground,
The oud plays softly in my chest,
Your love’s a fire, I can’t rest.
Bridge
Layali Masr calling me home,
The world feels wide but we’re not alone,
Avicii lights and a Cairo moon,
We dance till the night’s in tune.
Final Chorus
Habibi, take me where the sun don’t hide,
Under palm trees, where the stars collide,
We’ll sing yalla, to the morning sky,
Ma‘ak ya habibi, till the day we die.
