Ali-Baba [English translation]

I had a dream that I was in Baghdad

the dream is a great empire

they were taking care of me like I'm Scheherazade

until you took me away.

The ducats, pearls, nor Sultans

aren't as powerful as you are

nor the torches, nor the yatagans

are as dangerous as the look in your eyes

Ali, Ali, Ali Baba

hey, were you a hero

or nothing but a savage

Help! He was cheating1 on me day and night.

Ali, Ali, Ali Baba

hey, were you a hero

or nothing but a savage

Alili oh how much we kissed

Why did they wake me up...

Days are passing by like estate cars

The stars are falling

My tears like Bedouins

Still on a quest for you.

The ducats, pearls..

1. "Varati" can mean both "to cheat on someone" and "to trick someone", I'm not 100% sure which of the two is the case here
