Aleppo (feat. Ashkur)

If there’s one thing I know

It’s how to make you feel right at home

Just take the bed and eat up

Can’t you tell it’s overwhelming

Oh the love inside my nana’s eyes

She stayed up when I was sick all night

It’s taking time to realize she’s gone

But the peace has followed her beyond

 

Have no fear - time goes slow

Oh these summer nights, and the smell of rose

Create a new beginning when the world it keeps on spinning

We’re in danger now where we’ve always been

But they’re lighting up the city

When they should be taking pity

On the people seeking peace and a place to call home

 

You know - to the oldest city Aleppo

Didn’t you know that it’s the oldest city Aleppo

It’s faded, Aleppo

Outdated, Aleppo

It’s the oldest city, Aleppo

We’re running out of time

 

Save my plate I’m coming back for more

You’re gonna have to roll me back out through that door

Just shuffle the cards and deal ‘em

And pass the argila ’til we float into the clouds

The citadel’s a party now

Where Saladin was hanging out

Oh the sun’s out over our heads

So we sleep it off, then we do it again

 

Prayers fill the sky with the sunlight

Baked bread is gone by the time I get home

I want to see it with my own two eyes

Like the memories, the good times

But they’re lighting up the city

When they should be taking pity

On the people seeking peace and a place to call home

 

You know - to the oldest city Aleppo

Didn’t you know that it’s the oldest city Aleppo

It’s faded, Aleppo

Outdated, Aleppo

It’s the oldest city, Aleppo

We’re running out of time

قلبي بريدك يا حلب

‏ ‏بحلم في حلب

روحي تريد حلب

خليلي حلب

‏ ‏مدينة حلب

‏تسلملي حلب

‏خليلي حلب

‏روحي تريد حلب

لو تسمعو دقات قلبي لو تسألو هالقلب

رح تسمعوه عم بنادي يا حلب

شو ماغنوا شو ما حكيوا وشو مانكتب

رح تبقى أنت الأحلى يا حلب
