Original Lyrics / كلمات الأغنية
هدي مدة طويلة
وأنا نحوس أنا وعلا غزالتي
وأنا نحوس أنا وعلا غزالتي
وأنا نحوس أنا وعلا غزالي
عمري فيك أنتيا
ما غير أنتيا
ما غير أنتيا

Layli ya layli ya
Hadi muda tweela
Wana nh'awis ana wa'la ghzalti
Wana nh'awis ana wa'la ghzalti
Wana nh'awis ana wa'la ghzali
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 a clove
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
Omri feek entiya
Ma gheer entiya
Ma gheer entiya
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

Translation of Cheb Mami's part only
Oh night oh night
It's been too long
That I've been looking for my loved one
That I've been looking for my loved one
That I've been looking for my loved one
Peace peace
You have my life
No one other than you
No one other than you
My night, oh night

E' da tanto

Hai la mia vita
Nessun altro a parte te
Nessun altro a parte te
Nessun altro a parte te
O sera, o sera
