1st verse
My grandma Ata had a beautiful smile
A strong, talented woman of style
Even when my cousin couldn’t say her name
She adopted Ata as her claim to fame
2nd verse
A Lebanese girl living in Mexico
She married and built a family of her own
Deeply in love until their lives fell apart
They took a boat to Lebanon and made a new start
Pre Chorus
I remember her love especially
When she used to say to me
Chorus
Ya eyooneh (your eyes)
Ya eyooneh shu helwa shu hatra ya habibti (your eyes, how beautiful, how smart you are my darling)
Ya habibti
Ya eyooneh, shu helwa ya habibti (your eyes, how beautiful my darling)
Shu helwa shu shatra ya habibti, ya habibti (so beautiful, so smart my darling)
Taa, taa la hone ya habibti (come to me my darling)
3rd verse
I love to watch Ata’s paintbrush swirl
During summers in Daraoun as a little girl
With every stroke I peeked my head around
And smiled happily without making a sound
4Th verse
I loved her paintings and wish I had more
Years ago they were destroyed in the war
I have memories of Ata on my wall
She continues to be inspiration to us all
Pre Chorus
I remember her love especially
When she used to say to me
Chorus
Ya eyooneh (your eyes)
Ya eyooneh shu helwa shu hatra ya habibti (your eyes, how beautiful, how smart you are my darling)
Ya habibti
Ya eyooneh, shu helwa ya habibti (your eyes, how beautiful my darling)
Shu helwa shu shatra ya habibti, ya habibti (so beautiful, so smart my darling)
Taa, taa la hone ya habibti (come to me my darling)
Bridge
When she said this to me
I felt loved
It was her way of telling me
How proud she was
Instrumental
Chorus
Ya eyooneh (your eyes)
Ya eyooneh shu helwa shu hatra ya habibti (your eyes, how beautiful, how smart you are my darling)
Ya habibti
Ya eyooneh, shu helwa ya habibti (your eyes, how beautiful my darling)
Shu helwa shu shatra ya habibti, ya habibti (so beautiful, so smart my darling)
Taa, taa la hone ya habibti (come to me my darling)
Taa, taa la hone ya habibti

V1
When forgiveness feels unfamiliar and so overdue
I follow my heart even when black and blue
It leads me back to you

Behobbok ‘ana qawiyya (With your love I am strong)

Ma’hobbok ‘ata’qalik (With your love I belong)
Bas tohibbony kama ‘ahdar (Cause you love me the way I am)

Sweet memories give me a rush for you
And I lose track of time with your arms around me too

No need to search or stray
I made a promise to be true
And I wouldn’t be who I am today
If that hadn’t been with you
CH 2X
Behobbok ‘ana qawiyya (With your love I am strong)
Taqumha kull jamil (You make it all ok)
Ma’hobbok ‘ata’qalik (With your love I belong)

Verse 1
If I had a magic wand
I’d feed the people by the sea
Turn them into beautiful people
With beautiful places to be

Everything’s in disarray
Thousands of people trying to make it on the street

A'ood heeth kuntu tifla (I go back to when I was a child)

I’m from a small country by the sea
Will you come with me to visit my family?

Take me on a boat across the ocean
Where clear blue water meets the land
