لآخر دقة (la akher dakka)

Wael Kfoury's song 'لآخر دقة (la akher dakka)' is a heartfelt ode to enduring love. The lyrics express a deep, unwavering affection that transcends time and space. Kfoury sings about forgetting all other names and places, but the name of his beloved remains etched in his heart. This sentiment is beautifully captured in the lines, 'الا اسمك بقلبي بيضلو / جوا محفوظ ومكتوب' (Only your name stays in my heart / Preserved and written inside). The repetition of this idea emphasizes the permanence and significance of this love.

The chorus, 'ومكتوب على كل دقة / من قلبي بحبك لآخر دقة' (And written on every beat / I love you with every beat), uses the metaphor of a heartbeat to symbolize the constancy and life-giving force of his love. This imagery suggests that his love is as essential and natural as the beating of his heart, continuing until his last breath. The song also highlights the intimate connection between the lovers, as Kfoury describes seeing a world within his beloved's eyes, a place where he feels he truly belongs.

In the second verse, Kfoury deepens this connection by describing how he opens his eyes for his beloved and falls asleep to their image. This daily ritual signifies the central role his beloved plays in his life, with every moment shared becoming a cherished memory. The lyrics, 'كل لحظة عنا ذكرى لبكرا / انت انا والايام' (Every moment we have is a memory for tomorrow / You, me, and the days), underscore the timeless nature of their bond, suggesting that their love will continue to grow and evolve with time.
