Fairuz - Kan 'Inna Tahun (We had a windmill) lyrics

rate me

What sweet nights those were

when love lay in waiting

when you came to meet me

water roaring through the night.

Took us in its tow

we had a windmill

by the waterspring

tacking the squares

planted with shadow

my grandfather used to grind

for the neighborhood

grain and vigils.

People milled

around the squares

some carrying bags

some in cars

back and forth

songs kept roaring

on those roads.

Yay yay yay

O sleepless nights

yay yay yay

the sweet one on my mind

We sang

We sang

We sang on the roads.

Days rolled on

and by and by

the windmill grew silent

on the water's shoulder

my grandfather became

a windmill of memories

grinding out sun

and shadow.<br />
