Aïcha [English translation]

As if I did not exist,

she passed me by,

Without a glance,

Queen of Sheba. I said:

" Aisha, take: all is for you."

Here, the pearls, the jewels,

also the gold around your neck

The fruits, well ripe with the taste of honey

And my life, Aisha if you love me!

I will go where your breath leads me,

In the countries of ivory and ebony

I will erase your tears, your sorrows

Nothing is too beautifull for a girl so beautiful

Aisha, Aisha listen to me

Aisha, Aisha don't go

Aisha, Aisha look at me

Aisha, Aisha answer me

I would say the words, the poems

I would play the music of the sky

I would take the rays of the sun

to light up your dreamy eyes

Ooh! Aisha, Aisha listen to me

Aisha, Aisha don't go

She said: "Keep your treasures,

Me, I'm worth more than that.

Bars are still bars even if made of gold.

I want the same rights as you

and respect for each day,

Me I want only love."

(In Arabic)

I want you Aisha and I love you to death

You are queen of my life and my love

You are my years and my life

I hope to live with you, only you
