verse

كلن عم بيرقصوا فوق القزاز عالأرض
Everyone dancing on the glass covered floors
كلن عم بيضحكوا بالأسود و الأبيض
Everyone laughing in black and white
بتشقشق بسمتي أسود و أبيض
My smile cracks in black and white
نحنا بعدنا شي متعرفين عبعض
We are far away but know each other well
لدقيقة بالحمام كنا أقرب الأصحاب
But for a moment in the bathroom we were the best of friends
زيّفلي الإهتمام قلي إني بَنحب
He faked his attention to me, and he said I was a loved one.

chorus

ابن الليل
(Son of the night)
ابن الليل
(Son of the night)
ابن الليل
(Son of the night)
ابن الليل
(Son of the night)

verse

كل الاسبوع تسعة للخمسة عم نموت
Every week 9 to 5 we are dying
نسّيني حالي بدي كون مثل بيروت
Make me forget myself,i wanna be like Beirut
شو حلوة الليلة كل شي بنتمناه موجود
How good this night is, we have everything we wished for
وبأذي نفسي بس لبرر الوجود
I hurt myself just to justify my existence.

chorus

ابن الليل
(Son of the night)
ابن الليل
(Son of the night)
ابن الليل
(Son of the night)
ابن الليل
(Son of the night)

chorus

ابن الليل
(Son of the night)
ابن الليل
(Son of the night)
ابن الليل
(Son of the night)
ابن الليل
(Son of the night)

verse

تذكر كيف كانت الموسيقى تأثر فينا؟
Remember when the music used to move us ?
صرنا نخشى العتمة اللي كنا نلعب فيها
Now we're afraid of the darkness we used to play in
عشنا و شوفنا و ما بقي ولا شي يدهشنا
We lived and learned and now nothing surprises us anymore
عالية الموسيقى مش معقول حدا يسمعنا
Relax, The music is so loud, no one can hear this

verse

ولّعتا إمبارح حاسس حالي شوي تعبان
I turned it up last night, I feel a little tired
كأني دايماً عم بغرق بعدني عطشان
As if I'm always drowning, I'm still thirsty
دعسة عشمال و عاليمين حط دعستين
Put a step on the left and two on the right
لا مش عم ببكي دمّعت من الدخان
No I'm not crying, smoke just got into my eyes

verse

وبصب الكاس لاتنين وبشربه لوحدي
I pour a glass for two and drink them myself
مين قولك من هالناس راح يجي يزورلي قبري؟
Which one of these people do you think would visit my grave?
ليك عندك قداحة؟ تعا ولعلي سيجارتي
Do you have a lighter? Come light up my cigarette
ليك شو في حولي ناس مش ممكن كون لوحدي
Look how many people around me there's no way I'm alone.
Writer(s): Ibrahim Badr, Firas Abou Fakher, Carl Gerges, Haig Papazian, Hamed Khalil Sinno
