Yassir Al-Nour - Midnight Henna Lyrics

[Intro]
Habibi, let me paint you a picture tonight
Where traditions fade in neon lights
Medina walls can't hold us down
4 AM, no one else around

[Verse 1]
Henna on your hands, symbols of restraint
But tonight we're breaking free from the saints
Leila in the shadows, eyes like dark gold
Breaking every rule that we've been told
Sneaking through these streets like we own the night
Your perfume's got me feeling so damn right
Parents sleeping, phones on silent mode
Living for the secrets that we hold

[Chorus]
Midnight henna, dripping down your skin
Forbidden touches, where do we begin?
Can't fight this feeling, baby let's just ride
Through these ancient streets where lovers hide
Midnight henna, marking what is mine
Breaking all the rules, crossing every line
In this riad where no one else can see
Just the moon above for you and me

[Verse 2]
Bass is bumping through these marble halls
Ancient wisdom written on these walls
But we're writing stories of our own
Modern love in this timeless zone
Your family thinks you're fast asleep
While we're making memories we'll keep
Street vendors packing up their stands
While I'm touching more than just your hands

[Bridge]
Between the old world and the new
Caught between what's fake and true
But baby when you're here with me
There's nowhere else I'd rather be

[Chorus]
Midnight henna, dripping down your skin
Forbidden touches, where do we begin?
Can't fight this feeling, baby let's just ride
Through these ancient streets where lovers hide
Midnight henna, marking what is mine
Breaking all the rules, crossing every line
In this riad where no one else can see
Just the moon above for you and me

[Outro]
Dawn is breaking, time to say goodbye
But these marks will stay until they dry
Every pattern tells our secret tale
Of one night when love had to prevail
