Misirlou (Egyptian Girl)
------------------------------------

My dear Misirlou, your sweet stare
in my heart has lit a fire flare
Ah ya Habibi*, ah ya le-leli*, ah
Honey drips from your two lips ah

Ah, Misirlou, magic beauty unseen before
I am going crazy, I can’t stand it anymore
Ah, I will steal you from the Arab shore

My black-eyed crazy Misirlou
My life changes with a kiss from you
Ah ya Habibi, with a little kiss, ah
from the little mouth of yours, ah
