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
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
Looking for someone
Comparing to you
Tearing down
Windows and doors
And I could not
Find eyes like yours
