Alf Leila wa Leila

The song is like a river that we float down, or a shore whose constant waves we observe to our last days.  It provides the current, the wind, the surface, the tempo, the emotion.  With each crash against the sand, a tiny end that leaves us asking for more.  

The motions of the orchestra dance like the waves, the strings of the violins pull us along with the tempo.  We go willingly.  

How is the experience of listening to Alf Leila wa Leila compared to the seaside drive from Alexandria to Marsa Matrouh?     

Rashid is the beginning and the end to their Egyptian story.

[Lyrics]

My love, my love, my love,
The night and its sky, its stars and its moon, its moon & its awakening
& you and me, my own love, my own soul,
My love, my love, my love,
The night and its sky, its stars and its moon, its moon & its awakening
& you and me, my own love, my own soul,

All of us, all of us are in love all together,
& passion, ahhh from the passion, ahhh from the passion, ahhh from the passion,
the passion is awaken, giving us a drink of happiness, and saying cheers,
& passion, ahhh from the passion, ahhh from the passion, ahhh from the passion,
the passion is awaken, giving us a drink of happiness, and saying cheers,
my love,

lets live in the eyes of the night, lets live in the eyes of the night,
and we tell the sun, come , come, sun come, after a year, not before a year
come, come, sun come, after a year, not before a year,
this is a beautiful night of love, worth thousand nights and a night, thousand nights and a night,
thousand nights and night, worth all life, what is life but a night, like this night, like this night, night, like this night.

How, How, How, i describe to you my love how before i loved you, how i was my love
How, How, How, i describe to you my love how before i loved you, how i was my love
How, How, How, i describe to you my love how before i loved you, how i was my love
How, How, How, i describe to you my love how before i loved you, how i was my love

i didn't remember yesterday, didn't have tomorrow to wait for, and not even i lived my day, my love

How, How, How, i describe to you my love how before i loved you, how i was my love
How, How, How, i describe to you my love how before i loved you, how i was my love

i didn't remember yesterday, didn't have tomorrow to wait for, and not even i lived my day, my love

you took me with love in a blink of the eye, you showed me how sweet days are, how sweet days are, how sweet days are,
you took me with love in a blink of the eye, you showed me how sweet days are, how sweet days are, how sweet days are,

The night before that it was strange, strange, now i found peace in it, and life that was a desert , a desert, became now a garden,

My love, lets live in the eyes of the night, lets live in the eyes of the night, l
and we tell the sun, come , come, sun come, after a year, not before a year
come, come, sun come, after a year, not before a year,
this is a beautiful night of love, worth thousand nights and a night, thousand nights and a night,

thousand nights and night, worth all life, what is life but a night, like this night, like this night, night, like this night.
