It was in the nighttrain in Cairo where I found an arabian boy whom since then never left my thoughts I love him He told me stories from his dromedary and sang of water in oasis and rivers he drew me pictures with magical lines I love him There was spring and sun the next day I left to look for him we went down the Nile we didn't need a car, just a dromedary He went and showed me the pyramids right by edge of Sahara sands and his eyes lit up by the white stones I love him By the Nile's bank we walked and sang about lifes joy, beauty and love I felt inspired by other foreign tongues I love him There was spring and sun birds sung in choir when i found him we went down the Nile we didn't need a car, just a dromedary He left me with tears in his eyes on the railway station that day although love burned hot in my nerves I knew I would never see him again I often dream of my fair boy and life is sweet when I'm close to him he has grown, as the years have passed I love him Here back in Iceland I cried in lonliness and searched for marks to remind me of him I see his face in sticks and stones I love him
