Lyrics
Verse 1
Is our love is gone forever
Pain and sorrow live close together
I never knew things would turn out this way
As far as my eyes could see it was heaven all the way
Verse 2
That shower of rain begins to flood my door
A house once filled with history I’ll have to store
StillI after all this time together
I never thought we would break our shelter
Chorus
A’lam hunaak awqāt bewahda (I know there will be times on my own)
Idha tashraq ashams marra okhrā (When the sun will shine again)
Wa mā-zaltoʾawmen (And I still believe)
Hunak reja lee wa lak! (There’s hope for you and me)
Wa an amsek beqalbi (Gotta hold on my heart)
Gotta hold on my heart
Verse 3
Days go by memories grow stronger
That’s all I have now instead of forever
I tried to keep us from falling apart
Will you show up to play your part
Chorus
A’lam hunaak awqāt bewahda (I know there will be times on my own)
Idha tashraq ashams marra okhrā (When the sun will shine again)
Wa mā-zaltoʾawmen (And I still believe)
Hunak reja lee wa lak! (There’s hope for you and me)
Wa an amsek beqalbi (Gotta hold on my heart)
Gotta hold on my heart
Bridge
Al’ān, l’ajed arrāha fee jismī (Time to find comfort in my skin)
Mā bi a’ref kam min-al-waqt, madha (I can barely remember how long it’s been)
La orid, khalli-na-al'an (I don't wanna give up just yet)
La orīd, yamtalā qalbī bin-nadām (I don't wanna have my heart filled with regret)
Instrumental
Chorus
A’lam hunaak awqāt bewahda (I know there will be times on my own)
Idha tashraq ashams marra okhrā (When the sun will shine again)
Wa mā-zaltoʾawmen (And I still believe)
Hunak reja lee wa lak! (There’s hope for you and me)
Wa an amsek beqalbi (Gotta hold on my heart)
Gotta hold on my heart
Wa an amsek beqalbi (Gotta hold on my heart)
Gotta hold on my heart
