Oh, you know I have seen
A sky with no sun
A man with no nation
Saints captive in chains
A song with no name 
For lack of imagination
 
Ya la he, ya he, ya la he
And I have seen
Darker than ebony
Ya la 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
Traveled all overthe seven 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 fikarrajjai
Fi ainaiha aralhayati
Ati ilaika min haza lkaaouni
Arjouka labbi labbi nidai
 
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 and rags and begging for pleasure
Crossed a river of salt 
The specter I rode
The ship that sank
In the desert
 
Ya la he, ya he, ya la he
And I have seen
Darker than ebony
Ya la 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
Traveled all over the seven 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 fikarrajjaii
Fi ainaiha aralhayati
Ati ilaika min haza lkaaouni
Arjouka labba labba nidai
 
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 fikarrajjaii
Fi ainaiha aralhayati
Ati ilaika min haza lkaaouni
Arjouka labbi labbi nidai
 
Looking for someone 
Comparing to you
Tearing down
Windows and doors
And I could not find
Eyes like yours
 
Translation of Arabic verse 
God in the heavens 
In you I have hope
In her/his eyes I have hope
I come to you in this world
Please answer my plea
