From the musical Lulu
Lyrics & Music: Rahbani Brothers

In a cafe at the crossroads / there's a fireplace and a girl / my love and I / have laid it out with secrets / one day I found / a pair of little lovers / had taken over our seats / become the joyful strollers.

O yellow leaves / we keep growing up / we keep growing / the roads and houses, the trees are changing / and growing up / you alone my country / my country my country / you alone are still a little child.

Like the arrow returning / from its trip into time / I crossed the streets / where no one laughed for me.

All my mates have grown up / all that was before / is no more the same / they've become the past / the gold of oblivion.

O yellow leaves / we keep growing up / we keep growing up / the houses and roads / the trees are changing / and growing up / you alone my country / my country my country / you alone are still / a little child.
