It was on the night train in Cairo
That I met an Arab boy
That never leaves my mind
I love him
He told stories about his camel
And sang about the water in lakes and rivers
He brought up pictures with magical lines
I love him
It was spring and sun
The next day I went to see him
We went down 'to the Nile
We didn't need a car, only the camel
He went and showed me a pyramid
Right on the edge of the Sahara sand
And the eyes were hungry for the white stones
I love him
On the banks of the Nile we walked and sang
About life's joy, beauty and love
I was filled with the spirit of foreign languages
I love him
It was spring and sun
Birds sang in chorus that I met him
We went down to the Nile
We didn't need a car, only the camel
He said goodbye to me with tearful eyes
At the train stop that day
Did love burn so hot in my nerves
I knew I would never see him again
I often dream about my boy fríða
And then life is sweet in his proximity
He has grown, because the years go by
I love him
Here in Iceland I cry in secret
And look for signs that remind me of him
I see his face in sticks and stones
I love him
It was spring and sun
Birds sang in chorus when I met him
We went down to the Nile
We didn't need a car, only the camel
He said goodbye to me with tearful eyes
At the train stop that day
Is love burning so hot in my nerves
I knew I would never see him again
I often dream about my boy fríða
And then life is sweet in his presence
He has grown, because the years pass
I love him
Here in Iceland I cry in secret
And look for signs that remind me of him
I see his face in logs and stones
I love him
It was spring and sun
Birds sang in chorus that I met him
