Intro
Verses
Umm Kulthum and Omar Sharif
Came floating on a 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
Friday evening, Omar Sharif,
In black and white and blurry
through tears.
My mother and I would sit there
in a trace
He was cool to the marrow, the
pharaoh of romance
Sunday morning,
Umm Kulthum
Her voice would fill our living
room.
The ship from Egypt always came
Sailing in on the radio waves
And the jasmine wind, deep
perfume
Oooh 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
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.
