Eyes Like Yours

(album: Laundry Service - 2001)

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 la he ya la 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 Bahrain, got to Beirut
Looking for someone comparing to you
Tearing down windows and doors
And I could not find eyes like yours

يابو السماء فيك رجائي في عينيها ارى الحياة آتي اليك من هذا الكون ارجوك لبي لبي النداء

[English transcription:
"Rab al sammaai, fika al rajaii
Fi ainaiha arah hyati
Aateey alyka meen hath al koon
Arjooka rabi labbii nadaai"

English translation:
"Lord of heavens, help me
In his eyes I see my life
I come to you from all of the universe
I plead thee heed my call"]

Came from Bahrain, 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 la he ya la 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 Bahrain, got to Beirut
Looking for someone comparing to you
Tearing down windows and doors
And I could not find eyes like yours

يابو السماء فيك رجائي في عينيها ارى الحياة آتي اليك من هذا الكون ارجوك لبي لبي النداء

[English transcription:
"Rab al sammaai, fika al rajaii
Fi ainaiha arah hyati
Aateey alyka meen hath al koon
Arjooka rabi labbii nadaai"

English translation:
"Lord of heavens, help me
In his eyes I see my life
I come to you from all of the universe
I plead thee heed my call"]
