~Eyes Like Yours~

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
And now it seems that i
With out your eyes could never be

My one desire
All I aspire is in your eyes
Forever to live
Traveled all over the seven oceans
There is nothing that I wouldn’t give
Came from Bahrein
Got to Beriut
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 in rags
And begging for pleasure
Cross the river of salt
Just after I rode a ship that
Sunk in the desert

Ya he ya he ya la he
And I have seen darker than ebony
Ya he ya he ya la he
And now 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
The seven oceans
There is nothing that I wouldn’t give
Came from Bahrein got to Beirut
Looking for some one 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 ikaaouni
Arjouka labbi labbi nidai

Came from Bahrein got to Beirut
Looking for some one comparing to you
Tearing down windows and doors
And I could not find eyes like yours
