Lirik:

Layli ya layli ya (Oh night oh night)
Hadi muda tweela (It's been too long)
Wana nh'awis ana wa'la ghzalti (That I've been looking for my loved one)
Wana nh'awis ana wa'la ghzalti (That I've been looking for my loved one)
Wana nh'awis ana wa'la ghzali (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 dream of fire

Those dreams are tied to a horse that will never tire
And in the flames
Her shadows play in the shape of a 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 nothing's 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 (Peace peace)

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

Omri feek entiya (You have my life)
Ma gheer entiya (No one other than you)
Ma gheer entiya (No one other than you)

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 the fall

Ya lili ah ya leel (My night, oh night).....
