[English]
Yesterday I met a sky without sun and a man without ground
A saint in prison and a sad song without an owner
Yeah, hey, yeah-hey, yeah-yeah, hey
And I saw your black eyes
Yeah, hey, yeah-hey, yeah-yeah, hey
And now I really can't live without them
I ask the sky for just one wish
That in your eyes I can live
I've already traveled the whole world
And there's one thing I want to tell you
I traveled from Bahrain to Beirut
I went from the north to the South Pole
And I didn't find eyes like these
Like the ones you have
Lord of the heavens, in you I find hope
In her eyes, I see life
I come to you from this universe
Please, my Lord, answer my call
I traveled from Bahrain to Beirut
I went from the north to the South Pole
And I didn't find eyes like these
Like the ones you have
...
Yesterday I saw a woman pass under her camel
A river of salt and an abandoned ship in the desert
Yeah, hey, yeah-hey, yeah-yeah, hey
And I saw your black eyes pass by
Yeah, hey, yeah-hey, yeah-yeah, hey
And now I really can't live without them
I ask the sky for just one wish
That in your eyes I can live
I've already traveled the whole world
And there's one thing I want to tell you
I traveled from Bahrain to Beirut
I went from the north to the South Pole
And I didn't find eyes like these
Like the ones you have
Lord of the heavens, in you I find hope
In her eyes, I see life
I come to you from this universe
Please, my Lord, answer my call
I traveled from Bahrain to Beirut
I went from the north to the South Pole
And I didn't find eyes like these
Like the ones you have
...
Lord of the heavens, in you I find hope
In her eyes, I see life
I come to you from this universe
Please, my Lord, answer my call
From Bahrain to Beirut
I went from the north to the South Pole
And I didn't find eyes like these
Like the ones you have
I ask the sky for just one wish
That in your eyes I can live
I've already traveled the whole world
And there's one thing I want to tell you
I traveled from Bahrain to Beirut
I went from the north to the South Pole
And I didn't find eyes like these
Like the ones you have
