La baraka, it is the lucky fling that brings you to my door
La baraka is every happy thing the future has in store
La baraka is fortune smiling in the face that I adore
La baraka is destiny, la baraka is you and me.
La baraka, it is the lucky fling that brings you to my door
La baraka is every happy thing the future has in store
La baraka is fortune smiling in the face that I adore
La baraka is destiny, la baraka is you and me.
Faster the wheel of chance is spinning
And where it stops, no man can say
Now you are here, it's clear I'm winning
Tonight has been my lucky day.
La baraka, it is the lucky fling that brings you to my door
La baraka is every happy thing the future has in store
La baraka is fortune smiling in the face that I adore
La baraka is destiny, la baraka is you and me.
Most people go through life without it
Some people find it once or twice
There's nothing you can do about it
It can't be bought at any price.
La baraka, it is the lucky fling that brings you to my door
La baraka is every happy thing the future has in store
La baraka is fortune smiling in the face that I adore
La baraka is destiny, la baraka is you and me.
La baraka, it is the lucky fling that brings you to my door
La baraka is every happy thing the future has in store
[fade out]
La baraka is fortune smiling in the face that I adore
La baraka is destiny, la baraka is you and me, la baraka...
[reprise]
I do my gambles and my chances
and yet some how I lost each game
¿facheen? your came with all the answers
my life will never be the same
La baraka, it is the lucky fling that brings you to my door
La baraka is every happy thing the future has in store
La baraka is fortune smiling in the face that I adore
La baraka is destiny, la baraka is you and me.
La baraka, it is the lucky fling that brings you to my door
La baraka is every happy thing the future has in store
La baraka is fortune smiling in the face that I adore
La baraka is destiny, la baraka is you and me.
La baraka, it is the lucky fling that brings you to my door
La baraka is every happy thing the future has in store
La baraka is fortune smiling in the face that I adore
La baraka is destiny, la baraka is you and me.
La baraka, it is the lucky fling hat mmm brings you to my door
[fade out]
La baraka is every happy thing the future has in store
La baraka is fortune smiling in the face that I adore
La baraka is destiny, la baraka is you and me.
