First Couplet:
I pump the halls, like sheikhs pump oil,
Under the soffits shine rings and chains,
I've seen oceans and continents,
I've already visited the corners of the Earth.
Today, I alone have power over Aladdin,
And I need the bravest Jasmine,
I'll steal you and hide you in the middle of a desert,
Listen, tell me, who's your master?
Chorus:
There's sand all around us,
And we desperately need rain,
There's so much time ahead of us.
"How much?"
"One thousand and one nights!"
Arabian night, the marvelous East.
Second Couplet:
With the flick of a finger, I change the weather,
Like a genie in a bottle, I value my freedom,
My carpet - like an airplane out of an airport,
Through the clouds to your town.
* The club's already blown up,
Check it out, I'm lighting fuses,
Every word is glistening gold,
After my shows, even kids grow beards.
Chorus:
There's sand all around us,
And we desperately need rain,
There's so much time ahead of us,
"How much?"
"One thousand and one nights!"
Third Couplet:
If you were the sultan, you would've taken us all,
Among a thousand wives, you'd have success,
But on the other hand, I will answer, yes,
After all, your beard drives people crazy.
Chorus:
There's sand all around us,
And we desperately need rain,
There's so much time ahead of us.
"How much?"
"One thousand and one nights!"
