Lyrics
To mesle atishi, tooye ghalb-e man
She walks in, everybody turns
Dark eyes, and the whole room burns
Golden skin, midnight hair
Something dangerous in the air
From Beirut to the sea
She's got a hold on me
One look, I'm hypnotized
Lost inside those Lebanese eyes
Ya habibi, come closer
Put your body on mine
She's a little bit of heaven
With a dangerous side
Oh, mysterious woman
You got that fire in your soul
Oh, Lebanese woman
Make me lose all control
Dance for me, dance for me
Underneath the moon
Move for me, move for me
I'm addicted to you
Oh, enchanting woman
You're my sweetest sin
One night in Beirut
And I'm falling again
Red lips, black dress
One touch, I'm obsessed
She moves like a melody
Got the whole night chasing me
Sweet perfume in the air
Running fingers through her hair
She's a queen, she's a flame
And I'll never be the same
Ya habibi, come closer
Let the music decide
Put your hands on my shoulders
Let me love you tonight
Oh, mysterious woman
You got that fire in your soul
Oh, Lebanese woman
Make me lose all control
Dance for me, dance for me
Underneath the moon
Move for me, move for me
I'm addicted to you
Oh, enchanting woman
You're my sweetest sin
One night in Beirut
And I'm falling again
Dokhtar-e Lobnani, zibaye man
Ba to mikham ta sobh beraghsam
Oh, mysterious woman
Set my body on fire
Oh, Lebanese woman
You're my only desire
Dance for me, dance for me
Till the morning light
Move for me, move for me
Be my love tonight
Oh, enchanting woman
You got me hypnotized
I'll never forget
Those Lebanese eyes
To eshgh-e mani
To royaye mani
Habibi… Beirut nights
