Lyrics and translation
Original
Slowly fading blue, the eastern hollows.
Catch the dying sun, the night time follows.
Silence and black, mirror pool.
Mirror's a lonely place where I meet you.
See your head in the fading light. Through the dark your eyes shine bright.
And burn like fire, burn like fire in Cairo.
And burn like fire, burn like fire in Cairo.
Shifting crimson veil on silk on hips.
Slide under my hand, solar lips.
Whisper my name, and I yearn.
You take me in your arms, such a burn.
F-I-R-E-I-N-C-A-I-R-O.
F-I-R-E-I-N-C-A-I-R-O.
F-I-R-E-I-N-C-A-I-R-O.
Then the heat disappears and the mirror fades away.
F-I-R-E-I-N-C-A-I-R-O.
F-I-R-E-I-N-C-A-I-R-O.
F-I-R-E-I-N-C-A-I-R-O.
F-I-R-E-I-N-C-A-I-R-O. F-I-R-E-I-N-C-A-I-R-O.
F-I-R-E-I-N-C-A-I-R-O.
F-I-R-E-I-N-C-A-I-R-O.
F-I-R-E-I-N-C-A-I-R-R-R-O.
And burn like fire in Cairo.
Burn like the fire in Cairo, burn like a. . .
Fire, fire, fire.
Blaze like the fire in Cairo, blaze like. . .
-Fire, fire, fire, fire. -Blare.
Burn like fire, burn like fire in Cairo.
