Rim Banna - Oh Night How Long You Are
ريم بنا - يا ليل ما أطولك
Ya Leil Ma Atwalak



Rim Banna - Oh Night How Long You Are

Oh night how long you are...
You walked me, barefoot...
A scale, how heavy you are
You crushed my shoulders...
The grass of my heart melted away for your (yall's) sake...
It melted away...
And the black hairs oh my...
They turned gray on our heads

ريم بنا - يا ليل ما أطولك

يا ليل ما أطولك .. مشيتني حافية
ميزان ما أتقلك .. هديت لي كتافي
دابت حشيشة قلبي لأجلكم.. دابت
والشعرتين السود يا يما.. بروؤسنا شابوا

I know i'm not sure of the meaning or inspiration i tried to find online. most of her songs are taken from her mother's poetry. but yeah the lyrics are a bit esoteric as far as i can see
