Beneath the moon's soft silver glow
A stallion waits where silence grows
The wind is slow, a mournful sigh
Carrying whispers of times gone by
Through endless sands, a yearning calls
A tune of longing as night falls
The winds weave tales of ancient lore
Where hearts are lost and spirits soar
The endless dunes, a sea untamed
Hold secrets that no souls have claimed
As starlight dances on boundless sands
Memories rise like shifting lands
Through endless sands, a yearning calls
A tune of longing as night falls
The winds weave tales of ancient lore
Where hearts are lost and spirits soar
In the stillness, echoes ring
Of distant voices that softly sing
The desert speaks in shifting tones
Where hearts are bound and dreams are thrown
Through endless sands, a yearning calls
A tune of longing as night falls
The winds weave tales of ancient lore
Where hearts are lost and spirits soar
Va! nous passerons, a l'aurore
Devant le minaret sonore
Narguant ses derviches hideux
Toujours tous deux
Ou, si le khandjar de l'eunuque
Ce soir me tombe sur la nuque
Ton âme, au paradis d'Allah
Me rejoindra!..
