Sing to me an Arabian night
I’m trapped, trapped in history
Shahrazad, lost in despair
Playing with her Oud
Sewing words and times
Destiny loves notes played haphazardly
Clamorous tales of love
And severe words that rings a bell.
Sing me an Arabian night
A passion knows how to rise
Crash on the rocks of Sidon
And split the way back to Haifa
Jezebelknew how to itch the tides
Save testaments and rights
And cast spells with her glides
Upon the ancient kingdom.
Spare me an Arabian knight
For the word has been forsaken for years
Why did you come back?
Why did you bring Akbar to my bight?
He, who dropped the scepter for love,
Is my king
Listen to me, I am a Canaanite
“Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani?”
Create me an Arabian night
I have a feigned, cautious dream
Brother, are your feet on the ground?
I’ve roamed the deserts and the illusions
Yet you think I am a refugee!
Give your expectations a time
You don’t want my nightmare
To ruin what you’re thinking to imagine.
