V 01 - Long Nights - طالت الليالي
Tarja Signature – Hypnotic Khaliji–Anatolian Fusion, 96 BPM (Rising Energy). A fusion of Anatolian Rock, Egyptian Arabesque, Mezdeke rhythms, and Traditional Shamisen blended with Romantic Khaliji–Egyptian style. Crystal-clear studio male vocal, ultra-clean recording, intimate close-mic presence, smooth compression, controlled low-end, silky highs, wide polished stereo field. Upbeat oud with emotional slides and soft taqasim intertwines with expressive Anatolian electric guitar. Shamisen adds sharp percussive texture. Acoustic arpeggios and warm pads enrich harmony. Rhythm starts minimal (mirwas + tabla khaliji + soft claps) then gradually rises with Mezdeke accents, Egyptian tabla baladi rolls, syncopated bassline, open hi-hats, and a light 2-step bounce. Background airy female ad-libs: soft “ahh” echoes, playful, warm, breathy textures layered subtly for sensual atmosphere. Intimate verses → expanding, uplifting choruses with emotional drive and hypnotic crescendo.

Lyrics
V 01 - Long Nights - طالت الليالي
Intro
آه يا لِيل… آه يا لِيل…
Oh night… Oh night…
تِعبت أَداري شُوأي…
I’m tired of hiding my longing…
Verse 1
مِن يوم ما غِبت وأنا تايه
Since the day you left, I’ve been lost
وَسط الناس بِطُولي
Alone amidst the crowd
بَضحَك أُصاد الناس
I laugh in front of people
والهَمّ ساكِن بَالِي
While sorrow inhabits my mind
كُل الشَوارِع عَرْفاني
All the streets know me
وفاكرَة الضِحكَة في المَطَر
Remembering our laughter in the rain
كُنت بَأُول الدُنيا جَنَّة
I used to say the world is paradise
دِلْوَأتي حاسِس بِالخَطَر
Now I feel the danger
Pre-Chorus
أَلبي يِؤُولي ارجَع لُه
My heart tells me to go back to him
وعَألي يِؤُولي انساه
And my mind tells me to forget him
ما بين أَمَل وفُراق
Between hope and separation
ضَاع العُمر وِيّاه
A lifetime was lost with him
Chorus
تُهت أنا في بُعادَك… تُهت أنا في بُعادَك…
I am lost in your absence… I am lost in your absence…
فينَك حَبيبي تَعالى
Where are you, my love? Come back
أَلبي مِن غيرَك اتْحَيَّر
My heart is confused without you
ليلي مِن غيرَك طَويل
My night without you is so long
والنار في أَلبي بْتِكبَر
And the fire in my heart keeps growing
لَو تِرجَع لَحظَة بَس
If you return for just a moment
أَدِّيك حَياتي هِدِيَّة
I would give you my life as a gift
أنتَ الهَوى وأنتَ الدَوا
You are the air I breathe, and you are the cure
وأنتَ اللي لِيَّا
And you are the one for me
Hook
فينَك يا غالي ... طالِت اللَيالي
Where are you, my precious one… The nights have grown long
ارجَع يا عُمري ... رَيَّحْلي بَالي
Come back, my life… Set my mind at ease
(x2)
مِش أَدِر أَنْسى ... ولا أَدِر أَقْسى
I can’t forget… nor can I be harsh
أَلبي اللي حَبَّك ... لِسّه بَيْمَسِّي
My heart that loved you… still sends its love
Verse 2
صُوتَك ما بِيْغِبْش عَنِّي
Your voice never leaves me
حَتى السُكوت بِيْنَادِيك
Even the silence calls out to you
صُورْتَك في بَالي دايماً
Your image is always in my mind
وكُل يوم عايِش ليك
And every day I live for you
أَالُوا الزَمَن بِيْنَسِّي
They said time helps you forget
طِلِع الزَمَن كَدَّاب
But time turned out to be a liar
جُرْحي مَعَاك لِسّه
My wound because of you is still here
زَي المُوج أَلَّاب
Volatile like the waves
Pre-Chorus
أَلبي يِؤُولي ارجَع لُه
My heart tells me to go back to him
وعَألي يِؤُولي انساه
And my mind tells me to forget him
ما بين أَمَل وفُراق
Between hope and separation
ضَاع العُمر وِيّاه
A lifetime was lost with him
Chorus
تُهت أنا في بُعادَك… تُهت أنا في بُعادَك…
I am lost in your absence… I am lost in your absence…
فينَك حَبيبي تَعالى
Where are you, my love? Come back
أَلبي مِن غيرَك اتْحَيَّر
My heart is confused without you
ليلي مِن غيرَك طَويل
My night without you is so long
والنار في أَلبي بْتِكبَر
And the fire in my heart keeps growing
Bridge
بَصْحى وبَنَام ... عَلى نَفس الحَال
I wake up and sleep… in the same state
دايماً في سِيرْتَك ... ودايماً ع البَال
Always speaking of you… always on my mind
نِفْسي اللي بينا ... يِرْجَع يا رِيت
I wish what was between us… would return, I wish
مِن غير وُجُودَك ... ضَلْمَة البيت
Without your presence… the house is dark
Hook - Final
فينَك يا غالي ... طالِت اللَيالي
Where are you, my precious one… The nights have grown long
ارجَع يا عُمري ... رَيَّحْلي بَالي
Come back, my life… Set my mind at ease
(x2)
مِش أَدِر أَنْسى ... ولا أَدِر أَقْسى
I can’t forget… nor can I be harsh
أَلبي اللي حَبَّك ... لِسّه بَيْمَسِّي
My heart that loved you… still sends its love
Outro
تِعبت أَداري شُوأي…
I’m tired of hiding my longing…
ارجَع… أَلبي مِسْتَنِّي…
Come back… My heart is waiting…
