VERSE 01: In the land of Afghanistan,/ There's a Hindu maid and a man/ She swore by the stars up above her/ That he was the one to love her/ But there came another one day/ Stole his Hindu maiden away./ Hindu man is lonely and blue/ In his dreams he's calling to her, CHORUS: In Afghanistan/ There's a Caravan/ By the fair oasis waiting for you/ and for you only;/ Cross the desert sand/ we will find a temple;/ There will be a bridal day for you my idol,/ In Afghanistan VERSE 02: All the wealth of Afghanistan/ Cannot ease the heart of this man/ Tho' the stars with splendor are shining/ Hindu's heart can't stop its pining/ Though he's trying hard to forget/ He has hopes and dreams of her yet./ Thinking that she'll come back some day/ To his idol he keeps praying. | |
