Lyrics transcribed from CD recording (lyrics not
available on sleeve or in booklet).
One more kiss, dear
One more sigh
Only this, dear
It's goodbye
For our love is such pain
And such pleasure
And I'll treasure till I die
So for now, dear
Aurevoir, madame
But I'm how-d'ye, not farewell
For in time we may have a love's glory
Our love story to tell
Just as every autumn
Leaves fall from the tree
Tumble to the ground and die
So in the springtime
Like sweet memories
They will return as will I
Like the sun, dear
Upon high
We'll return, dear
To the sky
And we'll banish the pain and the sorrow
Until tomorrow goodbye
One more kiss, dear
One more sigh
Only this, dear
Is goodbye
For our love is such passion
Such pleasure
I'll treasure till I die
Like the sun, dear
Upon high
We'll return, dear
To the sky
And we'll banish the pain and the sorrow
Until tomorrow goodbye

* Note:
The lyrics are spoken in Arabic with an Egyptian
accent (Demis was raised in Egypt as a child)
Most of the words however are gibberish and sometimes almost resemble other
Arabic words but they are altered and arranged differently so they sound
meaningless.
Listening to the lyrics as whole does not built into a story and there is little
sense trying to make sense of it.
At the end of there is a little passage where it does convey two meaningful
sentences
** the
translation:
Tell me my dear?
Tell me my mother?
[Roy:]
"I've seen things, you people wouldn't believe, hmmm.
... attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion.
I've watched C Beams glitter in the dark near the Tannhauser Gate.
All those moments, will be lost in time like tears in rain..."
["... time to die ..."]
