Oh, you know I have seen
A sky without sun
A men 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
Travelled 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

[Repeat ***]

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 sunk
In the desert

[Repeat * , ** , 
****]

[Repeat *** , ****]

Looking for someone comparing to 
you
Tearing down windows and doors
And I could not find eyes like yours
