TRANSLATION: Alby (My Heart)
Amr Diab · Other Songs - Amr Diab
I stay up at night
Calling out for you
Why you have left me alone
You're the only one in my lonely heart
You melt it away
By day and night
Here is my loving heart
Look into it
You will find your soul
It only beats for you
Life is meaningless without your love
It is too short to waste
