Sapphire

Verse 1
You’re glowing
You color and fracture the light
You can’t help but shine
And I know that
You carry the world on your back
But look at you tonight

Pre-Chorus
The lights, your face, your eyes
Exploding like fireworks in the sky
Sapphire

Chorus
Touching on your body while
You’re pushing on me
Don’t you end the party,
I could do this all week
We’ll be dancing till the morning,
Go to bed, we won’t sleep
Cham-cham chamke sitare wargi (Sapphire)
Touching on your body while
You’re pushing on me
Don’t you end the party,
I could do this all week
We’ll be dancin’ till the morning,
Go to bed, we won’t sleep
Cham-cham chamke sitare wargi

Verse 2
Look what we found, Karma reached out
Into our hearts and pulled us to our feet now
You know, the truth is we could disappear
Anywhere, as long as I got you there
When the sun dies, till the day shines
When I’m with you, there’s not enough time
You are my spring flower, watching you bloom, wow
We are surrounded, but I can only see

Pre-Chorus
The lights, your face, your eyes
Exploding like fireworks in the sky
Sapphire

Bridge
Mahrooni do nain lubhaaye
Chaandni cham-cham chamkaaye
(You’re glowing)
Noor da mainu ghoont pilaaye
Jindadi ban jaaye
You’re glowing
(Ambraan di tu jhaalar paaye)
You colour and fracture the light
(Badlan de Latha de suit banaaye)
Look at you tonight
(Kirnaan nu rang-roop chadaye)
(Morni ban jaaye) Sapphire
Palkan uthaave te hanere ghatde
Unglaan’ch paake tu dhanak phirdi
Kivein Rabb ne do naina ute neelam jade?
Cham-cham chamke sitaare wargi (Sapphire)

Outro
The lights, your face, your eyes
Exploding like fireworks in the sky
Sapphire

Ed Sheeran’s “Sapphire” marks the third single from his upcoming eighth studio album, Play. Continuing the cross-cultural soundscape of the previous releases, “Sapphire” fuses Western pop with Punjabi musical influences, incorporating traditional instruments like the tabla and sitar. The track also features surprise vocals from beloved Indian singer Arijit Singh.

Interestingly, “Sapphire” was the first song completed for Play, helping Sheeran shape the direction of the album. It also stands as his personal favorite track on the project.

Lyrically, the song is a vibrant ode to love. Sheeran draws on imagery of light, gemstones, and the cosmos to portray a person whose presence brings light to life. The title itself reflects this metaphor: comparing a loved one to a rare, precious sapphire.

The accompanying music video, directed by Liam Pethick, was shot across lanes, streets, rickshaws, buses, beaches and small-town cafés of India. The video also features a surprise cameo by Bollywood icon Shah Rukh Khan.
