Nathaniel Adams Coles (March 17, 1919 – February 15, 1965), known professionally as Nat King Cole, was a musician who first came to prominence as a leading jazz pianist. He owes most of his popular musical fame to his soft baritone voice, which he used to perform in big band and jazz genres. He was one of the first black Americans to host a television variety show, and has maintained worldwide popularity since his death. more »

(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, 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)
