Asmahan - When Will You Realize? When will you realize? When will you realize I love you When will you realize that I love you When, when, when When will you realize

(Hear that, she's talkin to you kid)
(You talkin to me?)
(Huh? no, uh, I made a mistake sir, I'm confused, talking to myself...)

I confide in your specter, and I hope to see you
You've never felt sorry for me or check up on me
How long are you going to keep confusing me and adding to my troubles
You whose lose is in my imagination and my soul and my blood

(hear that? this is like a love letter to you) he said this with a Lebanese accent
(I don't understand what you're saying)
(You don't understand anything)

I kept on hiding my love for you
My love for you in my heart
I kept on hiding my love for you in my heart
And told myself to be patient and consoled myself as the fire inside me grew
And I figure to tell you how I feel and divulge my love to you
Could your heart not be aware as my heart suffers?
You whose lose is in my imagination and my soul and my blood

You made me love you and I hope to be close to you
Grace me one day with your presence and have mercy on me
And you'll taste my passion that is wounded by you
I'm singing for you!
You whose lose is in my imagination and my soul and my blood

أسمهان - امتى حتعرف

إمتى حتعرف إمتى إنّي بحبّك إمتى
إمتى حتعرف إمتى إمتى إمتى
إمتى حتعرف

(سامع؟.. الكلام إلك يا جارة)
(إنتّ بتكلمني؟)
(نعم؟.. لأ!.. غلطان يا بيي.. عمقروِش.. بحكي مع حالي)

بناجي طيفك واتمنى أشوفك
لا يوم عطفتِ عليّ ولا انتَ سائل فيَّ
وِلإمتى حَتحيّر بالي وتزوّد همّي
يللي غرامك في خيالي وبروحي ودمي
إمتى حتعرف إمتى إنّي بحبّك إمتى..

(سامع؟.. هيّ رسالة غرام إلك..)
(مالي فاهم عليك..)
(إنت مالك فهمان شي..)

فضلت اخبّي حبك، حبك بقلبي حبّك
فضلت أخبّي
وصبّره وواسيه والنار بترعى فيه
وخفت أقللك على حالي واشرح لك حبي
ليكون فؤادك مش داري وتعذّب قلبي
يللي غرامك في خيالي وبروحي ودمي
إمتى حتعرف إمتى إنّي بحبّك إمتى..

خلتني أحبك واتمنى قربك
اسعدني يوم بلقاك ترحمني فيه برضاك
وتدوق غرامي اللي جرحته
أنا لك بغنّي
ليكون فؤادك مش داري وتعذّب قلبي
يللي غرامك في خيالي وبروحي ودمي
إمتى حتعرف إمتى إنّي بحبّك إمتى
