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؟
