[Verse 1]
Morning on my skin
Shams btṣaḥṣiḥ kil ḥasseh
Golden on my chin
You draw a line
I draw a breath
’aynayki ʿa-l-afaq
You turn the sky a deeper red
[Chorus]
You are the sun
You burn
You bless
You run
Over my face
Over this empty heart you chase
Ya shamsy
Stay
Don’t disappear at the end of the day
You are the sun
You are the sun
[Verse 2]
ʿala shurfa ṣghireh
Coffee
Clouds
Your fire above
You write on the buildings
Small secret stories about love
Kul yawm btʿallimni
How to rise when I’ve had enough
[Chorus]
You are the sun
You burn
You bless
You run
Over my face
Over this empty heart you chase
Ya shamsy
Stay
Don’t disappear at the end of the day
You are the sun
You are the sun
[Bridge]
[Beat drops to hand percussion and low synth drone]
Lamma tghibi
Bḫaf
Darkness talks a little too loud
Bas lama trjʿi
Ana
Dance in the middle of the crowd (hey!)
Light me up
Light me up
Light me now
[Chorus]
You are the sun
You burn
You bless
You run
Over my face
Over this empty heart you chase
Ya shamsy
Stay
Ḥalli ḍawʾek ʿomri kello yebqa
You are the sun
You are the sun
