Lyrics
[Chorus]
Nouri
I lost my ground when I think about you passing
Umi
How have you have found my lungs without me asking?
[Verse 1]
We're in the hometown that you abandoned
Halfa ya Hilwa you only imagined
A life where a love was more than this sand, and
Your mother keeps asking where you have gone
Where you have gone to stay
Why you have gone away
[Refrain]
Nouri
Are you wearing thin?
[Verse 2]
Any room you're in is where God is remembered
Any door you open, the angels will enter
And if I ever bleed, you pray through the night so that God intercedes
So that God intercedes
But I wanna know who you were in your mother's home
I wanna know, what did you ever do alone?
What colors did you love before the black, before the thobes?
[Chorus]
Nouri
I lost my ground when I think about you passing
Umi
How have you have found my lungs without me asking?
[Outro]
Did you leave her back there?
Did you leave her back there?
Did you leave your dreams there?
Did you leave your dreams there?
Did you leave her back there?
Did you leave her back there?
Did you leave your dreams there?
Did you leave your dreams there?
