Oh, you know I have seen

A sky without sun

A man with no nation

Saints captive in chains

A song with no name

For lack of imagination

Ya he ya he ya la he

And I have seen

Darker than ebony

Ya he ya he ya la he

You know it seems that I

Without your eyes

Could never be



My one desire

All I aspire

Is in your eyes

Forever to live

Traveled all over

Crossed lands and oceans

There's nothing

That I wouldn't give



Came from Bahrein

Got to Beirut

Looking for someone

Comparing to you

Tearing down

Windows and doors

And I could not

Find eyes like yours



Rabboussamai fikarrajaii

Fi ainaiha aralhayati

Ati ilaika min haza lkaaouni

Arjouka labbi labbi nidai



Came from bahrein

Got to beirut

Looking for someone

Comparing to you

Tearing down

Windows and doors

And I could not

Find eyes like yours



Oh, you know I have seen

A woman of means and rags

And begging for pleasure

Crossed a river of salt

The specter I rode

The ship that sank

In the desert



Ya he ya he ya la he

And I have seen

Darker than ebony

Ya he ya he ya la he

You know it seems that I

Without your eyes

Could never be



My one desire

All I aspire

Is in your eyes

Forever to live

Traveled all over

Crossed lands and oceans

There's nothing

That I wouldn't give



Rabboussamai fikarrajaii

Fi ainaiha aralhayati

Ati ilaika min haza lkaaouni

Arjouka labbi labbi nidai
