lyrics

قبل الخطيئة الأولية
بعد ما تفكري مرتين
وديان وحمم بركانية
بتتحرك تحت الإجرين

بتسحبني ع غور كتير غميق
بتسبح معاي بتسبح معاي

عشتار، بتوخدني وبتوديني
عشتار، نظرتها بتكفيني
عشتار، بتيجي بس بالليل
وبالنهار، بتتركني لحالي

متل الثلجة ع النار
هيي بتطفي وانا بتبخّر
بتخلّي نبيذ بآخر الكاس
بتخلص سيجارة بثلاث أنفاس

بتسحبني ع غور كتير غميق
بتسبح معاي بتسبح معاي

عشتار، بتوخدني وبتوديني
عشتار، نظرتها بتكفيني
عشتار، بتيجي بس بالليل
وبالنهار، بتتركني لحالي

عشتار مش الك عشتار مش الي
واحنا كلنا فراشات
عالقين بشبكتها
عشتار بتحبك ومرات بتحبني
بس بالأساس عشتار بتحب حريّتها

عشتار مش الك عشتار مش الي
واحنا كلنا فراشات
عالقين بشبكتها
عشتار بتحبك ومرات بتحبني
وحريّتها نور، كل ما نقرّب بتحرقنا

Before the first sin
After you think twice
Valleys of lava flowing
Underneath the feet
Pulling me into the depth
She swims with me
Pulling me into the depth
She swims with me

Ishtar, drags me around
Ishtar, her gaze is enough
Ishtar, comes only at night
When the morning comes, she leaves me behind

Like ice on coal
She burns out and I evaporate
She leaves wine at the bottom of the glass
Finishes a cigarette in 3 drags
Pulling me into the depth
She swims with me
Pulling me into the depth
She swims with me

Ishtar, drags me around
Ishtar, her gaze is enough
Ishtar, comes only at night
When the morning comes, she leaves me behind

Ishtar is not yours, Ishtar is not mine
We are all butterflies, stuck in her net
Ishtar loves you, and she sometimes loves me
But not as much as she loves her freedom
Ishtar is not yours, Ishtar is not mine
We are all butterflies, stuck in her net
Ishtar loves you, and she sometimes loves me
And her freedom is light
When we get close
It burns us.
