Hobak Kan Fein

An English-language ballad under an Arabic title that means "where was your love?" The refrain is a single thought, said again and again: he did not know where her love was, and now he does. He wishes he were already on his way to her and says he has been away for far too long. Her love is somewhere far away, and the last verse returns to the same two sentences, as though he were saying them to himself on a long journey.
