Hajji Baba [Persian Lament] - Nat King Cole, Nelson Riddle’s Orchestra, Nat King Cole, Nelson Riddle’s Orchestra

Hajji, Hajji, Hajji, Hajji, Hajji Baba, Hajji Baba

Hajji Baba, Hajji Baba, Hajji Baba

He was always in love, in love, in love

Come to my tent, oh, my beloved

Bring me your lips, warm as the sun

Hear my lament, oh, my beloved

Come to my arms, oh, wonderful one

Enter my heart and stay there forever

Lost in the spell of stars up above

And we’ll be like the man Hajji Baba

Always in love, always in love

Hajji, Hajji, Hajji, Hajji, Hajji, Hajji, Hajji, Hajji

Hajji, Hajji, Hajji, Hajji, Hajji Baba, Hajji Baba

Hajji Baba, Hajji Baba, Hajji Baba

He was always in love, in love

Deep in each soul, carefully hidden

There’s a desire to be indiscreet

Hajji has said when love is forbidden

Love is so sweet, love is so sweet

Hajji, Hajji, Hajji, Hajji, Hajji Baba, Hajji Baba

Hajji Baba, Hajji Baba, Hajji Baba

He was always in love, in love, in love

Come to my arms, oh, my beloved

Hajji, Hajji, Hajji, Hajji, Hajji, Hajji, Hajji, Hajji
