Lyrics and translation
Original
Slowly fade the blue to eastern hollows.
Catch the dying sun and nighttime follows.
Silence and black, mirror pool.
You're the loneliest place, but I meet you.
Raise your head in the brilliant light. Through the dark, your eyes shine bright.
And burn like fire, burn like fire in Cairo.
Blaze like fire, blaze like fire in Cairo.
Play with the warm light like we burn in Cairo.
Burn like fire, burn like fire in Cairo.
Shift and twist the veil, silk and loose.
Slide under my hands, full of lips.
Whisper my name, and I hear.
As you take me in your arms, you start to burn.
I feel my body melting in the glow. I feel the passion in a compact overflow.
You touch my skin and I melt away.
Then the heat disappears and the mirage fades away.
Burn like fire in Cairo, burn like a fire.
Blaze like a fire in Cairo, blaze like fire.
Play with the warm light like we burn in Cairo.
Burn like fire in Cairo, burn like fire.
Fire.
Burn like a fire in Cairo, burn like a fire, fire, fire, fire.
Blaze like a fire in Cairo, blaze like a fire, fire, fire, fire. Play like a fire in Cairo, play like a fire.
Fire, fire, fire. Burn like a fire in Cairo, burn like a fire
