Oh night, oh night

You walk with fire in your eyes 
And never will I forget you. 
You carved your place in time,
and our hearts, - you have them, too. 

 It's never easy to express
all the loss and sadness felt.
You had a blessed voice in you
only to special people dealt. 

Miss you Meli.

 Poem by Alana Pyara


Sting with Cheb Mami (Algerian Arabic)

Desert Rose

Hadaee mada tawila 
Wa ana nahos ana wahala ghzalti 
Wa ana nahos ana wahala ghzalti 
Wa ana nahos ana wahala ghzalti

Oh night oh night

It has been a long time
And I am looking for myself and my loved one
And I am looking for myself and my loved one
And I am looking for myself and 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 
Omry feek antia 
Ma ghair antia 
Ma ghair antia 

Aman aman aman

My life is for you
And no one other than you
And no one other than you
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 the fall

Ya lili ah ya leel

Oh night oh night
