[Intro]
Ya leil, ya leil
Come closer, habibi
[Verse 1]
Your silver bracelet catches the morning sun
You laugh, and suddenly the night has just begun
From Oran to the coast, we let the worries slide
Your hand finds mine; the whole room turns with us tonight
[Pre-Chorus]
Say my name, then say it once again
Let the old heart open like a window in the wind
[Chorus]
Ya rouhi, stay beside me
Turn around and let the whole world find me
Ya rouhi, don't let go
When the drums call, let your bright heart show
Ya rouhi, stay beside me
Every little step keeps pulling you toward me
[Verse 2]
A paper cup of mint tea cooling by the door
Your cousin calls, but we are asking for one song more
The taxis roll past, carrying the dawn away
You tilt your head and make the last hour want to stay
[Pre-Chorus]
Say my name, then say it once again
Let the old heart open like a window in the wind
[Chorus]
Ya rouhi, stay beside me
Turn around and let the whole world find me
Ya rouhi, don't let go
When the drums call, let your bright heart show
Ya rouhi, stay beside me
Every little step keeps pulling you toward me
[Instrumental Break]
[Bridge]
If tomorrow takes us down a different road
Keep this little promise where the warm days go
One more turn, one more smile, one more hour to spend
When the morning finds us, let it find us hand in hand
[Final Chorus]
Ya rouhi, stay beside me
Turn around and let the whole world find me
Ya rouhi, don't let go
When the drums call, let your bright heart show
Ya rouhi, stay beside me
Every little step keeps pulling you toward me
[Outro]
Ya leil, ya leil
Stay beside me
Ya leil, ya leil
Come closer, habibi
[Verse 1]
Your silver bracelet catches the morning sun
You laugh, and suddenly the night has just begun
From Oran to the coast, we let the worries slide
Your hand finds mine; the whole room turns with us tonight
[Pre-Chorus]
Say my name, then say it once again
Let the old heart open like a window in the wind
[Chorus]
Ya rouhi, stay beside me
Turn around and let the whole world find me
Ya rouhi, don't let go
When the drums call, let your bright heart show
Ya rouhi, stay beside me
Every little step keeps pulling you toward me
[Verse 2]
A paper cup of mint tea cooling by the door
Your cousin calls, but we are asking for one song more
The taxis roll past, carrying the dawn away
You tilt your head and make the last hour want to stay
[Pre-Chorus]
Say my name, then say it once again
Let the old heart open like a window in the wind
[Chorus]
Ya rouhi, stay beside me
Turn around and let the whole world find me
Ya rouhi, don't let go
When the drums call, let your bright heart show
Ya rouhi, stay beside me
Every little step keeps pulling you toward me
[Instrumental Break]
[Bridge]
If tomorrow takes us down a different road
Keep this little promise where the warm days go
One more turn, one more smile, one more hour to spend

[Final Chorus]
Ya rouhi, stay beside me
Turn around and let the whole world find me
Ya rouhi, don't let go
When the drums call, let your bright heart show
Ya rouhi, stay beside me
Every little step keeps pulling you toward me
[Outro]
Ya leil, ya leil
Stay beside me
Stijl van muziek
Deep house fused with Algerian Raï and pop rhythms, 122 BPM four-on-the-floor kick, elastic syncopated bass, crisp handclaps and darbuka accents, bright plucked synth motif alongside ornamented electric guitar and raï keyboard flourishes. Build from a spare percussive intro into a buoyant verse, lift with rising melodic fills, then hit a wide, hook-forward chorus with layered call-and-response vocals; add a short instrumental break before the final chorus. Expressive male lead with agile melismatic turns, warm backing responses, polished modern club mix with punchy low end and clear percussion.
