Al -Shennawi continued : “Departing from the model imposed by this loud sector is the only way to escape from the influence of this trend that has penetrated even the artistic unions. Do not surrender to this disgraceful voice. The union objects to the words, and there is not a single word that is outdated, but they are racing to ban and confiscate any word.” A feeling of joy.”

Lyrics of the song 3 Hours Straight by Robbie The lyrics of Ruby's song say : Don't come, let's hide from people, from the blackness that has spread from the isolation that has plagued us, and someday we're stuck in our affairs. Don't come, let us rest from the trouble, extinguish the fire of longing. When the evening comes, I miss your light, oh moon. Come, let's separate for 3 continuous hours. The first hour. I'll leave you for the second hour, I'll leave you, the next hour, I'll hug you and the world will fall for you, and on my eyes, oh, but I'm covered, on my eyes, oh, I'm worried about you. A year doesn't come, and a year comes, we line up the problems. They disappear. Every night in the candlestick of life, a candle goes out. Let's get rid of narrow worries. Why are we trapped in a cocoon? What's wrong with the air of Alexandria? What's wrong with the sea of Hurghada? Let's separate with a comma. 3 continuous hours. The first hour is your loss. The second is the hour of your longing. The third is the hour of your affection. How does my heart adore you?
