Lyrics: Nadim Naaman
Music: Dana Al Fardan/Nadim Naaman/Dana Al Fardan and Nadim Naaman
“What drove you from us Shams?
Whose words, which curse?
You are all I have
My heart, my hope
Without you I am nothing
I gave my soul to you
Return to us or send us word
Don’t abandon those who need you.”
Before we met I searched
For truth in books
Devouring every page
Of the time it took
Yet you reveal more meaning
Than all the books combined
The purest understanding
Your words invade my mind
Thirty years we waited
For the day that you arrived
I found you late and now you’re gone
Don’t leave us now deprived
As thirsty as the desert sands
Awaiting April rain
Now, my rose, for the love of God
Don’t make us wait again
When we are together
We talk throughout the night
The peace of sleep deserts me
Two minds so intertwined
Thirty years we waited
For the day that you arrived
I found you late and now you’re gone
Don’t leave us now deprived
As thirsty as the desert sands
Awaiting April rain
Now, my rose, for the love of God
Don’t make us wait again
What drove you from us Shams?
Whose words, which curse?
You are all I have
My heart, my hope
When we are together
We talk throughout the night
The peace of sleep deserts me
Two minds so intertwined
