[00:15.64]Umm Kulthum and Omar Sharif
[00:21.75]Came floating on the jasmine wind
[00:27.88]From the west
[00:30.26]From the south
[00:33.10]Honey in my ears
[00:35.48]Spice in my mouth
[00:40.49]Dark and thrilling, strange and sweet
[00:45.97]Cleopatra and the handsome thief
[00:51.65]And they floated in on a jasmine wind
[00:56.68]Umm Kulthum and Omar Sharif
[01:01.21]And they floated in on a jasmine wind
[01:07.96]Umm Kulthum and Omar Sharif
[01:16.12]Friday evening, Omar Sharif
[01:21.60]In black and white and blurry through tears
[01:27.40]My mother and I would sit there in a trance
[01:31.93]He was cool to the marrow
[01:34.42]The pharaoh of romance
[01:39.56]Sunday morning, Umm Kulthum
[01:45.04]Her voice would fill our living room
[01:50.77]The ship from Egypt always came
[01:55.54]Sailing in on radio waves
[02:02.14]And the jasmine wind
[02:04.71]Deep perfume
[02:11.73]Umm Kulthum
[02:16.04]And the living room becomes a garden
[02:20.76]And the TV set becomes a fountain
[02:25.35]And the music flows
[02:27.83]In the garden
[02:30.27]And everything grows
[02:35.18]Umm Kulthum and Omar Sharif
[02:40.67]Came floating on a lemon leaf
[02:46.65]Flying in on a jasmine wind
[02:51.32]Umm Kulthum and Omar Sharif
[02:55.79]And we danced with them
[02:58.22]In a jasmine scented wind
[03:05.01]Umm Kulthum and Omar Sharif

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
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
Sunday morning, Umm Kulthum
Her voice would fill our living room
The ship from Egypt always came
Sailing in on radio waves
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
Umm Kulthum and Omar Sharif
Came floating on a lemon leaf
Flying in on a jasmine wind
Umm Kulthum and Omar Sharif
And we danced with them
In a jasmine scented wind
Umm Kulthum and Omar Sharif
