Ya Badi’

[Verse 1]
Oh, Badi’, son of Abu Munir, your years are slipping away
Tears are running from your eyes—what words can make them stay?
Oh, Badi’, oh, Badi’, I hear your sorrow call
Your name is in the silence, your tears say it all

[Chorus]
Ah, ya Badi’, don’t let your life disappear
Ah, ya Badi’, I can feel you breaking here
Oh, Badi’, oh, Badi’, your tears fall like rain
Son of Abu Munir, I hear your pain

[Verse 2]
The days keep passing by you, one by one, unseen
And every tear tells the story of where you’ve been
Oh, Badi’, your name comes back with every sigh
I wish I could stop the years as they hurry by

[Bridge]
Oh, Badi’, oh, Badi’, let the crying slow
There’s still a little time before the last tears flow

[Outro]
Ah, ya Badi’—I hear you calling through the night
