Peter Hollens & Alaa Wardi Desert Rose (Sting feat. Cheb mami Cover)

♩♫ [Intro] ♩♫

Layli ya layli ya

Hadi muda tweela

Wana nh'awis ana wa'la ghzalti

Wana nh'awis ana wa'la ghzalti

Wana nh'awis ana wa'la ghzalti

I dream of rain

I dream of gardens in the desert sand

I wake in vain

I dream of love as time runs through my hand

I dream of fire

Those dreams are tied to a horse that will
never tire

And in the flames

Her shadows play in the shape of a man's
desire

This desert rose

Each of her veils, a secret promise

This desert flower

No sweet perfume ever tortured me more
than this

And as she turns

This way she turns in the logic of all my
dreams

This fire burns

I realize that nothing's as it seems

I dream of rain

I dream of gardens in the desert sand

I wake in vain

I dream of love as time runs through my
hand

I dream of rain

I lift my gaze to empty skies above

I close my eyes

This rare perfume is the sweet
intoxication of her love

Aman aman aman

♩♫ [Intermezzo] ♩♫

I dream of rain
[Omri feek entiya]

I dream of gardens in the desert sand
[Ma gheer entiya]

I wake in vain

I dream of love as time runs through my
hand [Ma gheer entiya]

Sweet desert rose

Each of her veils, a secret promise

This desert flower

No sweet perfume ever tortured me more
than this

Sweet desert rose

This memory of Eden haunts us all

This desert flower

This rare perfume, is the sweet
intoxication of the fall

Ya lili ah ya leel

♩♫ [outro] ♩♫

Hey Hollens' family. I really hope you
enjoyed that Sting cover.

I have been a huge fan of Sting my entire
life and .. I love that song and so stoked

to work with mr. Wardi again. His work is
incredible. I have loved his music for the

longest time. So if you haven't seen him
before, make sure to check out the link

at the end of this video and watch his
stuff.

Such an honour to do something from this
type of remote long-distance (?)

This video obviously couldn't have been
created without the amazing help of my

Patrons over at patreon.com. If you like
to learn more about that, this is the link

to that website. Lots of rewards and it's
a pretty cool community over there so

make sure to check that out if you want
to be part of this journey that I am on.

Lots of new stuff coming; taking requests
big-time right now for the rest of the year

so make sure to leave those down below.
I am going to be screenshotting those if I

pick your song, so your name will be at
the end of the videos. Again, love that

stuff. You can pick this song up
everywhere. Also I am thinking about doing

some how-to videos so if you would like to
learn how I make a living doing what I love

please let me know what aspects of that
you would like to know about and hopefully

I can teach you. Make sure to check out
the last video Alaa and I did (Jai Ho)

right here. So much fun. You can also
check out the entire catalog of my videos

right here. Or if you would like to have
a signed cd. I have so many cds, I can

send them from my house to your house
right here.

And check out Alaa's stuff right here.
Love you guys. Peace.
