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

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 someone comparing to you

Tearing down windows and doors

And I could not find eyes like yours

رَبُّ السَّماءِ، فيك الرجاءِ

في عينيها أرى الحياةِ

آتِي إِلَيْكَ مِنْ هَذا الكَوْنِ

أرجوك، رَبِّي، لَبِّي نِدائي

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 in rags and begging for pleasure

Crossed a river of salt

Just after I rode a ship that's 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 someone comparing to you

Tearing down windows and doors

And I could not find eyes like yours

رَبُّ السَّماءِ، فيك الرجاءِ

في عينيها أرى الحياةِ

آتِي إِلَيْكَ مِنْ هَذا الكَوْنِ

أرجوك، رَبِّي، لَبِّي نِدائي

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

رَبُّ السَّماءِ، فيك الرجاءِ

في عينيها أرى الحياةِ

آتِي إِلَيْكَ مِنْ هَذا الكَوْنِ

أرجوك، رَبِّي، لَبِّي نِدائي

من البحرين إلى بيروت

Looking for someone comparing to you

Tearing down windows and doors

And I could not find eyes like yours

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

Looking for someone comparing to you

Tearing down windows and doors

And I could not find eyes like yours
