Ayer conocí un cielo sin sol
Y un hombre sin suelo
Un santo en prisión
Y una canción triste sin dueño

Ya he ya he ya la he
Y conocí tus ojos negros
Ya he ya he ya la he
Y ahora si que no
Puedo vivir sin ellos yo

Le pido al cielo solo un deseo
Que en tus ojos yo pueda vivir
He recorrido ya el mundo entero
Y una cosa te vengo a decir
Viaje de Bahrein hasta Beirut
Fui desde el Norte hasta el polo sur
Y no encontré ojos así
Como los que tienes tú

Rabboussamai fikarrajaii
Fi ainaiha aralhayati
Ati ilaika min haza lkaaouni
Arjouka labbi labbi nidai
Viaje de Bahrein hasta Beirut
Fui desde el Norte hasta el polo sur
Y no encontré ojos así
Como los que tienes tú

Ayer vi pasar una mujer
Debajo de su camello
Un rio de sal un barco
Abandonado en el desierto

Ya he ya he ya la he
Y vi pasar tus ojos negros
Ya he ya he ya la he
Y ahora si que no
Puedo vivir sin ellos yo

Le pido al cielo solo un deseo
Que en tus ojos yo pueda vivir
He recorrido ya el mundo entero
Y una cosa te vengo a decir
Viaje de Bahrein hasta Beirut
Fui desde el Norte hasta el polo sur
Y no encontré ojos así
Como los que tienes tú

Rabboussamai fikarrajaii
Fi ainaiha aralhayati
Ati ilaika min haza lkaaouni
Arjouka labbi labbi nidai
Viaje de Bahrein hasta Beirut
Fui desde el Norte hasta el polo sur
Y no encontré ojos así
Como los que tienes tú

Y una cosa te vengo a decir
Viaje de Bahrein hasta Beirut
Fui desde el Norte hasta el polo sur
Y no encontré ojos así
Como los que tienes
