That was the day when I first saw the light
  I know that I should have put up a fight
  Not since the day have I looked in the eyes
  Where you could see the Arabian skies
  
  How can it be that the desert provide
  Something so precious you'd think that I lied
  Wherever you are I remember you still
  Il el el el el bitti akill
  
  I saw the Arabian star
  Brightest of them all
  I wish that we could do it all again
  I saw the Arabian star
  Still I wonder where you are
  
  Been on this journey for so many years
  Thought that I'd seen it all, faced all my fears
  Nothing prepared me for what I've been throught
  All is compared with memories of you
  
  How can it be that the desert provide
  Something so precious you'd think that I lied
  Wherever you are I remember you still
  Il el el el el bitti akill
  
  I saw the Arabian star
  Brightest of them all
  I wish that we could do it all again
  I saw the Arabian star
  Still I wonder where you are
