Eyes Like Yours (Ojos Así) Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Oh, you know I have seen a sky without sun
A man with no nation

Saints captive in chains
A song with no name for lack of imagination

[Pre-Chorus]
And I have seen darker than ebony
And now it seems, that I
Without your eyes, could never be

[Chorus]
My one desire, all I aspire
Is in your eyes forever to live

Traveled all over the seven oceans
There is 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
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

[Verse 2]
Oh, you know I seen a woman of means
In rags and begging for pleasure
Crossed a river of salt just after I rode
A ship that's sunk in the desert
[Pre-Chorus]
And I have seen darker than ebony
And now it seems, that I
Without your eyes, could never be

[Chorus]
My one desire, all I aspire
Is in your eyes forever to live

Traveled all over the seven oceans
There is 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
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

[Instrumental Break]

[Bridge]
رَبُّ السَّماءِ, فيك الرجاءِ
في عينيها أرى حياتي
آتِي إِلَيْكَ مِنْ هَذا الكَوْنِ
أرجوك, رَبِّي, لَبِّي نِدائي
من البحرين إلى بيروت

[Chorus]
Looking for someone comparing to you
Tearing down windows and doors
And I could not find eyes like yours
My one desire, all I aspire
Is in your eyes forever to live

Traveled all over the seven oceans
There is 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
