Lyrics:
JUST A LITTLE TIME
TILL I COME TO SHORE
SOMEWHERE THAT I’VE SEEN
BUT NEVER BEEN BEFORE

I AM DRIFTWOOD NOW
I AM HOMEWARD BOUND
PULL ME FROM THE SEA
SAVE WHAT’S LEFT OF ME
‘CAUSE I’M TIRED AND WORN
FROM THE TIDES AND STORMS

SO FORGIVE MY WRONGS

I AM DRIFTWOOD NOW
I AM HOMEWARD BOUND
PULL ME FROM THE SEA
SAVE WHAT’S LEFT OF ME
‘CAUSE I’M TIRED AND WORN
FROM THE TIDES AND STORMS
AND I’VE MADE MY PLANS
BACK ON DRYER LAND

SO FORGIVE MY WRONGS

(FARSI)
TO EY KHODAYE
OH LORD

ALAMA O ADAM
LORD OF THE WORLDS AND OF MANKIND

NEJATAM DEH
SAVE ME

AZ IN HAME GHAM
FROM ALL THIS SORROW

DAR KAAME TOOFAN
IN THE MIDST OF THE STORM

MANDAM SARGARDAN
I STAND BEWILDERED

BERES BAR DADAM
PLEASE REACH OUT AND HELP ME

EY NOORE IMAN
OH LIGHT OF FAITH

BE TO ROO KARDAM
FOR I TURN TO YOU

BA CHASHME GERYAN
WITH EYES FULL OF TEARS

MAN BI TO HICHAM
I AM NOTHING WITHOUT YOU

ABRE BARANAM
I AM THE CLOUD OF POURING RAIN

DOOR AZ YARANAM
FAR FROM MY LOVED ONES

RAHA KON YA RAB
SAVE ME OH LORD

AZ IN ZENDANAM
FROM MY PRISON

NAMANDEH TAGHAT
I HAVE NO MORE PATIENCE

DAR JESM O JANAM
IN MY BODY AND SOUL

BEBAKHSH AZ RAHMAT
FORGIVE ME THROUGH YOUR MERCY

SAR O SAMANAM
AND BESTOW UPON ME GOODNESS AND EASE

MAN BI TO HICHAM
WITHOUT YOU, I AM NOTHING

HICHAM

I AM DRIFTWOOD NOW
I AM HOMEWARD BOUND
PULL ME FROM THE SEA
SAVE WHAT’S LEFT OF ME

(FARSI)
NAMANDEH TAGHAT
I HAVE NO MORE PATIENCE

DAR JESM O JANAM
IN MY BODY AND SOUL

BEBAKHSH AZ RAHMAT
FORGIVE ME THROUGH YOUR MERCY

SAR O SAMANAM
MY LIFE AND BEHAVIOR

MAN BI TO HICHAM
WITHOUT YOU, I AM NOTHING

SO FORGIVE MY WRONGS

Lyrics:

IT’S A GAME, THAT THEY PLAY

شتموه لما جهلوه
SHATAMUHU LAMMA JAHILUH
THEY INSULTED HIM WHEN THEY DIDN’T KNOW HIM

تبعوه لما عرفوا هداه
TABI’UHU LAMMA ARAFU HUDAH
THEY BECAME HIS FOLLOWERS WHEN THEY TRULY KNEW HIM

WHAT A SHAME, WHAT THEY SAY

شتموه لما جهلوه
SHATAMUHU LAMMA JAHILUH
THEY INSULTED HIM WHEN THEY DIDN’T KNOW HIM

تبعوه لما عرفوا هداه
TABI’UHU LAMMA ARAFU HUDAH
THEY BECAME HIS FOLLOWERS WHEN THEY TRULY KNEW HIM

WHERE ARE YOU IN MY DREAMS?
YOU FEEL SO CLOSE BUT SO FAR
WHEN ALL I WANT IS TO SEE
YOUR FACE IN FRONT OF ME

YOU MAKE ME CHASE AROUND
SHADOWS IN THE MOONLIGHT
ONLY FOR THE SUNRISE
TO OPEN MY EYES

MAKES ME JUMP TO MY FEET
WALK AROUND THE CITY STREETS
HOPING THAT I’LL FIND YOU
BY MY SIDE.

THEN I FEEL YOUR SUNLIGHT
BEAUTIFUL AND SO BRIGHT
FEELING I’M IN YOUR ARMS
FOR A WHILE

HOURS PASS LIKE A BREEZE
MOVING THROUGH THE PALM TREES
HAND IN HAND YOU AND ME
WITH YOUR SMILE

شتموه لما جهلوه
SHATAMUHU LAMMA JAHILUH
THEY INSULTED HIM WHEN THEY DIDN’T KNOW HIM

تبعوه لما عرفوا هداه
TABI’UHU LAMMA ARAFU HUDAH
THEY BECAME HIS FOLLOWERS WHEN THEY TRULY KNEW HIM

WHAT A SHAME, WHAT THEY SAY
شتموه لما جهلوه
SHATAMUHU LAMMA JAHILUH
THEY INSULTED HIM WHEN THEY DIDN’T KNOW HIM

تبعوه لما عرفوا هداه
TABI’UHU LAMMA ARAFU HUDAH
THEY BECAME HIS FOLLOWERS WHEN THEY TRULY KNEW HIM

(TURKISH)
SEN BENİM NAZLI YARİMSİN
YOU, MY DELICATE BELOVED

SEN BENİM GÖZBEBEĞİMSİN
YOU, THE LIGHT OF MY EYE

SANA GÖNÜLDEN BAĞLANMIŞIM BEN
TIED TO YOU, AT THE HEART

SEN SEVDİĞİM SEVDİCEĞİM
YOU ARE MY DEEPEST LOVE, MY BELOVED

BEN SENİ BİR GÜL GİBİ KOKLARIM
INHALING YOUR SCENT, JUST LIKE SMELLING A ROSE

AŞKINLA TUTUŞUR AŞKINLA YANARIM
BURNING INSIDE, WITH THE FIRE OF YOUR LOVE

HEP SENİ ARAR SENİ SORARIM
I ALWAYS LOOK FOR, AND ASK OF YOU

SANA VARMAK İÇİN HAYAL KURARIM
ALWAYS DREAM OF REACHING YOU

(URDU)
تیرا تصور میرا ہی سکوں ھے
TERA TASAWUR MERA HE SAKOON HAI
THE VERY MENTION OF YOU BECOMES MY TRANQUILITY

تیرا نام لینا میرا ھے جنوں
TERA NAM LEANA MERA HAI JANOON
TO TAKE YOUR NAME, IT BECOMES MY SANITY

وہ میٹھی باتیں تیری ھی سنوں میں
WOH METEE BATEIN TEREE HEE SOONOO MEIN
THOSE SWEET CONVERSATION OF YOURS I WOULD LISTEN TOO

دنیا برا مانے تو میں کیا کروں؟
DUNIYAH BOORA MAA NE THO MEIN KYA KAROO?
IF THE WORLD DEEMS THEM OFFENSIVE, WHAT DO I CARE?

شتموه لما جهلوه
SHATAMUHU LAMMA JAHILUH
THEY INSULTED HIM WHEN THEY DIDN’T KNOW HIM

تبعوه لما عرفوا هداه
TABI’UHU LAMMA ARAFU HUDAH
THEY BECAME HIS FOLLOWERS WHEN THEY TRULY KNEW HIM
WHAT A SHAME, WHAT THEY SAY

شتموه لما جهلوه
SHATAMUHU LAMMA JAHILUH
THEY INSULTED HIM WHEN THEY DIDN’T KNOW HIM

تبعوه لما عرفوا هداه
TABI’UHU LAMMA ARAFU HUDAH
THEY BECAME HIS FOLLOWERS WHEN THEY TRULY KNEW HIM

I NEED YOU IN MY LIFE LIKE THE AIR WITH WHICH I BREATHE
SO LET THEM SAY WHAT THEY WANT TO SAY
IT’S THE SAME GAME THEY ALWAYS PLAY
I’LL TURN MY EARS THE OTHER WAY,
IT MAKES NO DIFFERENCE EITHER WAY
IT’S A GAME THEY’RE ALWAYS GOING TO PLAY
LET THEM SAY WHAT THEY WANT TO SAY
IT’S A GAME
IT’S A GAME
IT’S A GAME

THEY’RE ALWAYS GOING TO PLAY
