Look at the Egyptian beauty, flashing like lightning! (x4)
She offered her body to you like a stage,
Shedding her shyness like clothing,
She stood before you.
The limits of desire...
You are the poet who came to define the limits of desire,
She is the lover you have been searching for.
Look at the Egyptian beauty, flashing like lightning! (x2)
Instead of talking, the tongue's only job is to kiss,
The hands that do not hold a sword are meant to make love,
Hey... hey...
Instead of talking, the tongue's only job is to kiss,
The hands that do not hold a sword are meant to make love,
She is like the sheath of a sword,
And she sees you as the sword.
Look at the Egyptian beauty, flashing like lightning! (x2)
She offered her body to you like a stage,
Shedding her shyness like clothing,
She stood before you.
The limits of desire...
You are the poet who came to define the limits of desire,
She is the lover you have been searching for.
Look at the Egyptian beauty, flashing like lightning! (x4)
