TRANSLATION: El Allem Allah (God Knows)
Amr Diab · Other Songs - Amr Diab
My heart and soul melted
The moment I looked into her beautiful eyes
I swear I melted and drowned in her eyes
And gave her my heart away
Without asking how or why
Love is nothing but a glance of her eyes
A touch of her hands and a heart you care for
