River of a Thousand Moons (versie 2)

Intro – Female

Ahh...

Ya leili...

Verse 1 – Male

Silver rivers cross the sand,

Like ancient veins beneath the land.

Every whisper knows the way,

To greet the birth of a new day.

The falcon rides the desert air,

With silent strength and endless care.

The moon has left her crown of light,

Upon the dunes this sacred night.

Pre-Chorus – Female

Ya rouhi... hear my voice,

Every heart can make a choice.

Ya leili... don't let go,

Where the endless rivers flow.

Chorus – Male & Female

Male:

Follow the stars beyond the fire,

Every step will lift us higher.

Female:

Ya habibi... stay with me,

Like the wind across the sea.

Together:

Hey ya lo... ya leili ya...

The earth is breathing through our song.

Hey ya lo... ya nour ya...

The ancient spirit makes us strong.

Raise your hands...

Touch the sky...

Let tomorrow learn to fly.

Instrumental Break

Female Vocalise

Verse 2 – Female

The oud remembers every dawn,

Even after night has gone.

The ney is calling from afar,

Like the light of every star.

The qanun shines with silver strings,

While the desert softly sings.

Every note becomes a flame,

Every soul recalls its name.

Bridge – Male

I have wandered far and wide,

With the endless sky as guide.

Not to conquer, not to reign,

But to heal the hidden pain.

Bridge – Female

Ya amar... shine so bright,

Lead us through the longest night.

Ya salam... let it be,

One heart, one destiny.

Final Chorus – Together

Hey ya lo... ya leili ya...

The mountains answer every prayer.

Hey ya lo... ya nour ya...

Hope is rising everywhere.

The river flows...

The fire grows...

The desert keeps the truth it knows.

One heartbeat...

One embrace...

Forever bound by time and grace.

Outro – Female

Ahh...

Ya leili...

Ya eini...

The river remembers...

The moon remembers...

Our song lives on...
