I saw the orient and its treasures
I saw the orient and its treasures
With the moon as a banner
With the moon as a banner
And i intended in a few verses
And I intended in a few verses
To put its splendor into a song
To put its splendor into a song
But when i saw jerusalem
But when I saw jerusalem
A lonely poppy on the rock
A lonely poppy on the rock
I heard a sound of requiem
I heard a sound of requiem
When i held it in my hand
When I held it in my hand
Little chapel, don't you see
Little chapel, don't you see
When you whisper 'peace on earth'
When you whisper 'peace on earth'
The little birds fly away with fear
The little birds fly away with fear
When the hear the shout of gun
When the hear the shout of gun
The road will lead you to the fountain
The road will lead you to the fountain
Where you would like to fill your jug
Where you would like to fill your jug
You better stop marie magdalena
You better stop marie magdalena
For them your body ain't worth water
For them your body ain't worth water
Inch'allah!, inch'allah, god willing, inch'allah
Because allah!, because allah, god willing, because allah
The olive tree is crying for its shadow
The olive tree is crying for its shadow
Its tender friend, tender wife
Its tender friend, tender wife
Who is lying in the ruins
Who is lying in the ruins
Captive on the enemy side
Captive on the enemy side
On the phone, on the wire
On the phone, on the wire
The butterfly was seeking a rose
The butterfly was seeking a rose
Saying to himself people are so mad
Saying to himself people are so mad
They will kill me if i ever dare
They will kill me if I ever give
Lord of heaven lord of hell
Lord of Heaven Lord of Hell
You are where you like to be
You are where you like to be
But don't you see the hungry people
But don't you see the hungry people
Don't you hear the children cry
Don't you hear the children cry
Inch'allah, inch'allah, god willing, inch'allah
Because allah, because allah, god willing, because allah
Is our life a crucifixion?
Is our life a crucifixion?
Must we suffer through the years?
Must we suffer through the years?
Just an endless genuflexion
Just an endless genuflexion
Washing blood away with tears
Washing blood away with tears
Yes i saw jerusalem
Yes i saw jerusalem
A lonely poppy on the rock
A lonely poppy on the rock
I always hear that requiem
I always hear that requiem
Seeing in my troubled mind
Seeing in my troubled mind
Requiem for six millions souls
Requiem for six millions souls
Who don't have their marble grave
Who don't have their marble grave
And weather groomed sands
And weather groomed sands
They are now six millions trees
They are now six millions trees
Inch'allah, inch'allah, god willing
Because allah, because allah, god willing
