Meera • Desi Gothic Royal's video: Omar Sharif cover - The Band s Visit

The Band’s Visit deserved all of its tony award wins don’t @ me. Disclaimer: my Israeli accent is none existent. Lyrics: Umm Kulthum and Omar Sharif Came floating on the jasmine wind From the west, from the south Honey in my ears Spice in my mouth. Dark and thrilling, Strange and sweet Cleopatra and the handsome thief And they floated in on a jasmine wind Umm Kulthum and Omar Sharif And they floated in on a jasmine wind Umm Kulthum and Omar Sharif Friday evening, Omar Sharif, In black and white and blurry through tears. My mother and I would sit there in a trace He was cool to the marrow, the pharaoh of romance Sunday morning, Umm Kulthum Her voice would fill our living room. The ship from Egypt always came Sailing in on the radio waves And the jasmine wind, deep perfume Umm Kulthum And the living room becomes a garden, And the TV set becomes a fountain, And the music flows in the garden And everything grows Umm Kulthum and Omar Sharif Came floating on a lemon leaf Flying in on a jasmine wind Umm Kulthum and Omar Sharif And we dance with them on a jasmine scented wind, Umm Kulthum and Omar Sharif.
