Umm Kulthum and Omar Sharif
Came floating on the jasmine wind
From the west, from the south
Honey in my ears
Spice in my mouth
Dark and thrilling
Strange and sweet
Cleopatra and the handsome thief
And they floated in on a jasmine wind
Umm Kulthum and Omar Sharif
And they floated in on a jasmine wind
Umm Kulthum and Omar Sharif
烏姆庫蘇姆和奧瑪莎李夫
隨著茉莉香風遠飄而來
從西邊，從南方
如蜜灌入耳
如嘴中辛香
深邃而激慄
特異又甜膩
埃及豔后與帥氣的大盜
隨著茉莉香風遠飄而來
烏姆庫蘇姆和奧瑪莎李夫
隨著茉莉香風遠飄而來
烏姆庫蘇姆和奧瑪莎李夫
Friday evening, Omar Sharif
In black and white and blurry through tears
My mother and I would sit there in a trance
He was cool to the marrow, the pharaoh of romance
週五晚上，奧瑪莎李夫
我的淚眼望向黑白螢幕
媽媽與我一同坐著恍神
他酷又成熟，如同浪漫的法老
Sunday morning Umm Kulthum
Her voice would fill our living room
The ship from Egypt always came
Sailing in on radio waves
週日早晨，烏姆庫蘇姆
她的聲音充斥著客廳
如同總會停靠的埃及大船
緩緩隨著無線電台駛入
And the jasmine wind, deep perfume
Umm Kulthum
And the living room becomes a garden
And the TV set becomes a fountain
And the music flows in the garden
And everything grows
那如香水般的茉莉香風
烏姆庫蘇姆
客廳就像一座花園
電視就像一座噴泉
音樂流動在花園之中
萬物滋長
Umm Kulthum and Omar Sharif
Came floating on a lemon leaf
Flying in on a jasmine wind
Umm Kulthum and Omar Sharif
And we dance with them on a jasmine scented wind
Umm Kulthum and Omar Sharif
烏姆庫蘇姆和奧瑪莎李夫
隨著檸檬葉在茉莉香風中遠飄而來
烏姆庫蘇姆和奧瑪莎李夫
我們在茉莉香風中與之舞動
烏姆庫蘇姆和奧瑪莎李夫
