put your lights on

.. by santana
I have heard the last part of it soo many times and the lyrics seems like..

'la ilaha illallah ’ x 2

I checked a few sites for the lyrics some had 'la ilaha illallah ’ and some others had 'hey la la ’ something. I wonder if its true! Has anyone noticed it?!

Yes I have noticed!
It does sound like "la ilaha illallah"...

I guess in many ways that song talks about the devil and that we should all stay awake and keep watch lest we fall under his spell...may that the prayer we all nedd to say ..."la ilaha illallah"

I dunno just a thought!


I was born with a defective eye ;-)

WuD, the best person to answer this question is Santana himself. Why dont you go and as him in person? I know this thing has been bothering you for two years now :)

Wese go to the official Santana website and read the lyrics there. They are sure to be the correct version.

The guest vocalist and lyricist on that song is 'Everlast' who is a recent convert to Islam. So he probably is saying la ilaha illallah.

scratch i have been actually losing sleep over this!

alright ! so santana’s not a muslim after all :smiley:
It should be ‘la illaha illallah’ as Madcon also said it totally goes with the song.
