Sting
Album:
Brand New Day
Layli ya layli ya (oh night,oh night)
Hadi muda tweela (It´s been too long)
Wana nhavis ana wala ghzalti 3x
(That I´ve been looking for my loved one)


I dream of rain
I dream of gardens in the desert sand
I wake in vain
I dream of love as time runs through my hand


I dreame of fire
These dreams are tied to a horse that will never tire
And in the flames
Her shadows play in the shape of man's desire


This desert rose
Each of her veils, a secret promise
This desert flower
No sweet perfume ever tortured me more than this


And as she turns
This way she moves in the logic of all my dreams
This fire burns
I realize that nothings as it seems


I dream of rain
I dream of gardens in the desert sand
I wake in vain
I dream of love as time runs through my hand


I dream of rain
I lift my gaze to empty skies above
I close my eyes
This rare perfume is the sweet intoxication of her love
"aman aman aman"
I dream of rain
I dream of gardens in the desert sand
I wake in vain
I dream of love as time runs through my hand


Sweet desert rose
Each of her veils, a secret promise
This desert flower
No sweet perfume ever tortured me more than this


Sweet desert rose
This memory of Eden haunts us all
This desert flower
This rare perfume, is the sweet intoxication of her fall
