Cairo

Like diamonds shimmers the nile
When the light of the moon is reflecting
It keeps me warm for a while
Cairo, I‘m suffering
Under your colourful tent
I smell jasmine
Whatever all it meant —
It’s my destiny
Destiny…
I cried tears into your dust
Oh Cairo
Hidden in your lanes!
I cried tears into your dust
Oh Cairo
My heart feels pain
I want to feel joy
With all the people in your streets
I don’t long to destroy
But my heart still bleeds
Will I have the power
To find the right way?
For this, oh Cairo
I will pray
I cried tears …
