Zajal Lebanese Song

Year Released: 2002 Playing Time: 4: 46 (Uh...) It was late in a Lebanese restaurant, in the heat of a Lebanese night, There was dancing, people were singing, she came in from the garden outside, And in her eyes (Bi Ouyoona) I saw the stars (Bshouf E' Njoom), And I felt something happen in my heart (Uh...); Then I knew I was going to meet her in the heat of a Lebanese night, And the girl inside the woman, who came over to sit by my side, And when she smiled, The whole world stopped (Salam), It was then I heard the echoes of a child; And did you go to your bed with a sweet lullaby, And the sound of the guns in the night, And did you dance in the fields, did you run for your life, From the hell that came down from the sky? On a Lebanese night, on a Lebanese night; We went down to the edge of the water, by the light of a Lebanese dawn, And she told me all the stories of her beautiful land in the war, Her tears fell down, The sun came up, And I saw again the young girl in her eyes; Ghammadt Ouyounak 'a Ghinniyyi Wa Sawt Bi 'llayl shou khifan W' rahh bit dal hayk layliyi init sihran Shi marra mshit bi hal mada, w' marra hrabt aw min hada La indak jayi 'al ghada w' kinit ta'ban On a Lebanese night, on a Lebanese night; Ana Ma 'areft illa makan Ma rahh bi fil minnou 'ssalam Fi hadaya ktar min ywazze'on Mish killi el oulad fi hdiyyi ilon Uh... (Uh...) And did you go to your bed with a sweet lullaby, And the sound of the guns in the night, And did you dance in the fields, did you run for your life, From the hell that came down from the sky? On a Lebanese night, on a Lebanese night, On a Lebanese night, on a Lebanese night, I will be waiting, In the Lebanon.

Too low to find my way Too high to wonder why I've touched this place before Somewhere in another time Now I can hear the sun The clouds drifting through the blinds A half a million thoughts Are flowing through my mind A satellite recalled your voice Sent me round the world again All the night you've dreamt away Sent me round my heart again One touch upon my lips And all my thoughts are clear I feel your smoky mist Up to the stratosphere Too low to find my way Too high to wonder why I've touched this place before Somewhere in another time Now I can hear the sun The clouds drifting through the blinds A half a million thoughts Are flowing through my mind End.
