The Sheik Of Araby (04-27-37)(original) |
Dans les montagnes du Hoggar |
Unes reine au méchant regard |
Au coeur félon règne dit-on |
Antinéa c’est son nom |
Le Sheik Mohamed ben Kaddour |
Pour la belle se meurt d’amour |
refrain |
Dans l’immense Sahara |
Il cherche Antinéa |
Il croit voir son visage |
mais ce n’est qu’un mirage |
Il repart au galop |
Criant dans un sanglot |
Ma belle Antinéa |
Je t’aime et me voila |
Quand on lui barre le chemin |
Il vibre le sabre à la main |
Et s'élançant, en rugissant |
Il repart rouge de sang |
Pour elle il va n’importer où |
Il n’en sait rien car il est fou |
refrain |
Parfois il rencontre le soir |
Une belle esclave à l’oeil noir |
Le lendemain, plein de dédain |
Le Sheik reprend son chemin |
? |
comme lui |
? |
qui s’enfuit |
Dans l’immense Sahara |
Il cherche Antinéa |
Il croit voir son visage |
mais ce n’est qu’un mirage |
Il repart au galop |
Criant dans un sanglot |
Ma belle Antinéa |
Viens vite dans mes bras |
(translation) |
In the Hoggar Mountains |
A queen with a mean look |
In the treacherous heart reigns it is said |
Antinea is her name |
Sheikh Mohamed bin Kaddour |
For the beauty is dying of love |
chorus |
In the immense Sahara |
He is looking for Antinea |
He thinks he sees her face |
but it's only a mirage |
He gallops away |
Crying out a sob |
My beautiful Antinea |
I love you and here I am |
When we get in his way |
He vibrates sword in hand |
And soaring, roaring |
He leaves red with blood |
For her he goes anywhere |
He doesn't know because he's crazy |
chorus |
Sometimes he meets the evening |
A beautiful black-eyed slave |
The next day, full of disdain |
The Sheik resumes his journey |
? |
like him |
? |
who fled |
In the immense Sahara |
He is looking for Antinea |
He thinks he sees her face |
but it's only a mirage |
He gallops away |
Crying out a sob |
My beautiful Antinea |
Come quickly into my arms |
