lyrics

ooh I wish it was easy
but that won't change any time soon
I wanna talk to someone
but I am still chatting up the moon

I figure it out on my own
cause that's the way it's always been
but I'm still staring at the phone
hoping someone will be ringing

and so, it goes
better the devil I know
it shall be this way
til' the sun kisses my sky

ooh I wish it were simple
but the odds aren't in my favour yet
it takes time forgiving 
who I am trying to forget

ooh but i've gotten better
at things such as bearing out my soul
sometimes to people 
often to echoing of these wallls

and so, it goes
better the devil I know
it shall be this way
until it's time to go
and so, here it is
it's just the simple thing i miss
but it's okay, i guess
til' the sun kisses my sky

i wanna talk to someone
but I am still chatting up the moon
I wanna talk to someone
but I am still chatting up the moon
I wanna talk to someone
(til' the sun kisses my sky)
I wanna talk to someone
(til' the sun kisses my sky)
I wanna talk to someone

Sun Kisses My Sky

كلمات محمد خير، ألحان زياد سحاب، غناء زياد سحّاب ورولا عازر..

اللي بيرضيك ... Illi byirdik

إسمعوا أغنية تابوو ماشية بكيفها.

الكلمات:
متغركش الدنيا يا صاحبي 
ماتصدقش كلام الناس 
ناس بتداري وناس بتخبي
وناس عايشين علي ظلم الناس

ناس بتفرق مش بتجمع
ناس عايشين في زواق متلمع 
ناس تانيين تسجد وتدمع
تلقي في نور المولي خلاص

دنيا غروره وماشيه بكيفها 
خيرها يروح للي مكتفها
جمد قلبك قوم وناكفها 
وانت تعيش مرفوع الراس 

اسمها دنيا عشان كدابه
ظلمها عدل في شرع الغابة
ساعة الشده تلاقي طيابة
وإيد للقطع وإيد تتباس 

كلمات : ميسرة صلاح الدين
ألحان : أدهم عبد المجيد
غناء و توزيع : تابوو

Taboo - Mashya Bkefha I تابوو - ماشية بكيفها

For every sky I see when I look into your eyes.

والسما في عيونك
