Aisha

This is one of my favourite songs… Algerian singer Cheb Khaled. Was exiled from Algeria by the government due to his political views.
Fear not, this is not a political song :smiley: The song is in mostly French, bit of English, and bit of Arabic. For those like me who barely understand five words of French strung together, the song’s English translation is provided below.

as if I didn’t exist
she passes by me
without a glance, Queen of Sabbat
I said, Aisha, take it, everything is for you

here we are, pearls, jewels
also, gold around your neck
fruits, ripened to the taste of honey
my life, Aisha if you love me

I shall go where your breath leads us
In the countries of ivory and ebony
I shall erase your tears, your pain
nothing is too beautiful for one so beautiful

Oh Aisha, Aisha, listen to me
Aisha, Aisha, do not go
Aisha, Aisha, look at me
Aisha, Aisha, answer me

I shall say the words of the poems
I shall play the music of the sky
I shall take the rays of the sun
to light up the eyes of the queen

Aisha, Aisha, listen to me
Aisha, Aisha, do not go

she said, keep your treasures
I’m better than any of this
the strong bars, are bars even though golden
I want the same rights as you
and respect every day.
I want only some love.

as if I didn’t exist
she passes by me
without a glance, Queen of Sabbat
I said, Aisha, take it, everything is for you

Oh Aisha, Aisha, listen to me
Aisha, Aisha, listen to me
Aisha, Aisha, do not go
Aisha, Aisha, look me at
Aisha, Aisha, answer me

[Arabic part:] I want you Aisha and I’ll die for you
this is the story of my life and my love
uou are my breath and my life
I want to live with you and only with you

Thank you :)
I love this song, it had been a while since I last heard it!

Had the MP3 long time ago, but can’t find it anymore. :frowning:

How do you know it’s Aisha and not Ayesha? :stuck_out_tongue:

Cheeta song hai..main jab bhi is ko sunta hoon (khaak palle parta hai..bas donald duck ki tarha sar hilata rehta hoon, but love the music and his soothing voice) :k:

*How do you know it's Aisha and not Ayesha? :p *
:D Because that's how it's spelt all over the internet in the Cheb Khaled webpages - and plus, he kinda pronounces it like "A-eesha", not "Ayesha"... at least i think so, who knows could be wrong :D

*bas donald duck ki tarha sar hilata rehta hoon, but love the music and his soothing voice) *
lol.. well i'm glad you liked it and think he has a soothing voice. It's one of my most loved songs.
