Do you know where I can find the lyrics? I've had no luck so far.

@bookwormgracie The lyrics are:

Ismael ve Itzchak salamoon

Salamoon aleikum

Salamoon aleina

This is an interesting dialect. For instance "Salamoon" is quite different from the more conventional Arabic "Salaam." I learned the seed of this song from an elder Sufi gentleman in Anne Arbor, MI. We sing it in the Turkish dialect of Arabic in which he sang it.

There's version of it on the group's 2009 release "Skyland" which you can hear on the band's website.
