DESERT ROSE

Layli, oh, layli, oh

Hadaee mada tawila

Wa ana nahos ana wahala ghzalti

Wa ana nahos ana wahala ghzalti

Wa ana nahos ana wahala ghzalti

I dream of rain, ya leil, ya leil

I dream of gardens in the desert sand

I wake in vain, ya lei, ya leil

I dream of love as time runs through my hand

I dream of fire, ya lei, ya leil

Those dreams are tied to a horse that will never tire

And in the flames, ya lei, ya leil

Her shadows play in the shape of a man's desire

This desert rose, ya lei, ya leil

Each of her veils, a secret promise

This desert flower, ya lei, ya leil

No sweet perfume ever tortured me more than this

Aman, aman, aman, oh

I dream of rain, ya lei, ya leil

I dream of gardens in the desert sand

I wake in vain, ya lei, ya leil

I dream of love as time runs through my hand

I dream of fire, ya lei, ya leil

Those dreams are tied to a horse that will never tire

And in the flames, ya lei, ya leil

Her shadows play in the shape of a man's desire

This desert rose, ya lei, ya leil

Each of her veils, a secret promise

This desert flower, ya lei, ya leil

No sweet perfume ever tortured me more than this

Hadaee mada tawila

Wa ana nahos ana wahala ghzalti

Wa ana nahos ana wahala ghzalti

Wa ana nahos ana wahala ghzalti
