Eyes like yours (Listen to midi) (Listen to sample)

A - G - A A - G - A

1. Oh, you know, I have seen

G A

a sky with no sun, a man with no nation,

saints captive in chains,

G A

a song with no name for lack of imagination.

Bb

2a. Ya la he, ya he, ya la he,

A

and I have seen, darker than ebony.

Bb

Ya la he, ya he, ya la he,

A

you know it seems that I without your eyes could never be.

A

2b. My one desire, all I aspire

G A

is in your eyes forever to live,

traveled all over, crossed lands and oceans,

G A

there's nothing that I wouldn't give.

A

2c. Came from Bahrein, got to Beirut,

G A

looking for someone comparing to you.

A

Tearing down windows and doors,

G A

and I could not find eyes like yours.

A G A

2d. Rabboussamai fikarrajjai, fi ainaiha aralhayati.

A G A

Ati ilaika min haza lkaaouni, arjouka labbi labbi nidai.

2e. Came from Bahrein, got to Beirut,

G A

looking for someone comparing to you.

Tearing down windows and doors,

G A - G - A - G - A

and I could not find eyes like yours.

A

3. Oh, you know I have seen,

G A

a woman of means and rags and begging for pleasure.

Crossed a river of salt,

G A

the specter I rode, the ship that sank in the desert.

repeat 2a - 2e + - G - A - G - A - G - A ….

(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 pleas)
