歌词
You said, “I would give my head to find
the one who can stand my company.”
You found me. And you did.
And the preacher fell in Love
With one of Allah’s human forms
Our retreats to caves would agitate
The followers waiting upon my words
And they drove you out on camel back
To keep their prophet upon high
I sent letters begging you back
saying “Love is on our side”
If Shams is by my side, Love is in our side, Love is on our side
And if Love is on our side, Allah is on our side, Love is on our side
Your strange appearance scares them
But no-one sees you like I do
I become smoke and swirl around you
No eyes or sword of the assassin can pierce through
So don’t go to taverns alone
When the moonlight pierces night
I still wear the earring that you put in my ear – and know
That Love is on our side
If Rumi’s by your side, Love is on our side, Love is on our side
And if Love is on our side, Allah is on our side, Love is on our side
Sultan, don’t shake your head like that
Don’t shake your head like that, my sultan
Sultan, don’t shake your head like that
Don’t shake your head like that, my sultan
Don’t put your turban on – stay with me tonight
Cuz you’re already drunk so – stay with me tonight
Put another earring in my ear – stay with me tonight
Stay with me every night, my sultan
Didn’t you yourself say I deserve you?
Take another sip from the Cup-bearer who serves you
And if my screams light fires, bring water to the sound
Don’t let our house of secrets burn into the ground
You dance inside my chest
Where no-one sees you, but I do
I won’t repent our love
I won’t repent the love you’ve given your head to
And I will not go with the flow
but become the flow itself
One day they’ll see the union with the Beloved that they sought
Was always inside themselves
“Sell cleverness and buy bewilderment”
Mine is the throat that you speak through
Lift the veil of separation
- the twin drunk Moses’ who were one and never two
Why should we swim across a divided sea
That will rejoin its tides
I still wear the earrings that you put in my ear and know
Love is on our side
If we’re at each other’s side, Love is on our side, Love is on our side
And if Love is on our side, Allah is on our side, Love is on our side
Love is on our side, Love is on our side…
And Allah has no sides but the Love that is inside
Allah has no sides…
And if there are no sides, you’ll find me here inside
The Beloved is inside
You know Lovers don’t one day finally meet each other
They’ve been inside each other all along
The Beloved is inside
