Lyrics

On this shining day, as this time froze,
thousands away, as the profit he rose,
did the mountains tremble from the weight of these words?
Cause till now we remember his farewell to the world.
When he said,
Oh people, please lend me an ear,
cause I don't know if I'll be with you after this year.
Oh listen closely to these words I will say,
and convey them to those who could not be here today.
That's you and I,
that's you and I,
that's you and I,
that's you and I.
As he spoke the people listened in awe,
he began by thanking and praising God.
Then he said,
Oh people, the life of each one
is as sacred and as holy as this land and this moon.
Do not hurt others and no harm comes to you,
cause one day you'll return to your Lord for what is due.
Oh people, be fair and be just
with the property of all those who give you their trust.
Leave all usury and this money from loans,
never harm people with money,
just keep what you owe.
Cause in all things major,
Satan knows that he bails,
but beware of the devil in the little details.
Oh people, please lend me an ear,
cause I don't know if I'll be with you after this year.
Oh listen closely to these words I will say,
and convey them to those who could not be here today.
That's you and I,
that's you and I,
that's you and I,
that's you and I.
As for women, they have rights over you
to provide for their needs, let your kindness ensue.
They are your partners, so watch what you do,
and they should be faithful and always be true.
Oh people, worship your Lord,
pray five times a day and fast Ramadan,
and give in charity which you can afford,
and the pilgrimage to Mecca if indeed you can.
All of mankind are from Adam and Eve,
none of you are better except in good deeds.
No others over Arabs, no Arabs over others,
no white versus black, we're all sisters and brothers.
Oh people, please lend me an ear,
cause I don't know if I'll be with you after this year.
Oh listen closely to these words I will say,
and convey them to those who could not be here today.
That's you and I,
that's you and I,
that's you and I,
that's you and I.
Oh people, one day you'll meet your Lord,
so respect each other's property as yours is yours.
And remember there will be a day you'll stand with your deeds,
so don't stray from the path of God after I leave.
Oh people, no new prophet will come,
no new faith will be born after this one.
And I leave you with two things, you never will stray,
the Holy Quran and the example I laid.
It's the Holy Quran and this guidance I gave,
so pass these words to those who are not here today.
Make the last ones who hear grasp it better this way.
Oh Lord, bear witness, I have conveyed.
Oh people, please lend me an ear,
cause I don't know if I'll be with you after this year.
Oh listen closely to these words I will say,
and convey them to those who could not be here today.
That's you and I,
that's you and I,
that's you and I,
that's you and I.
