Khatfoony Lyrics Translation Amr Diab | Ebtadena
The poet describes love as a kidnapping by the eyes, a metaphor for how attraction can feel inescapable. Lines like ‘His eyes have kidnapped me, they’ve stolen me away’ highlight the intensity of the emotions. The performer’s delivery makes every word feel like a confession.
Khatfouni eneh khatfouniHis eyes have kidnapped me, they’ve stolen me away
I’m like a movie, his eyes will never leave meI’m like a movie, his eyes will never leave me
I need attention, but you’re too preciousI need attention, but you’re too precious
Oh, I should leave you, but I find it hard to goOh, I should leave you, but I find it hard to go
Khatfouni eneh khatfouniHis eyes have kidnapped me, they’ve stolen me away
You’re so annoying, you know just how to talk to meYou’re so annoying, you know just how to talk to me
I need attention, but you’re too preciousI need attention, but you’re too precious
I know I should leave you, but I find it hard to goI know I should leave you, but I find it hard to go
