this is the Remix version of the song , the first version is slower. NOTE: The translated Arabic lyrics sung by Cheb Mami are located after the song’s lyrics that were sung by Sting. Lyrics: I dream of rain I dream of gardens in the desert sand I wake in pain 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 now she turns This way she moves 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 pain 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 I dream of rain I dream of gardens in the desert sand I wake in pain I dream of love as time runs through my hand 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 I’ve found two different translations and am not sure which is most accurate. Translation 1 It has been a long time And I am looking for myself and my loved one And I am looking for myself and my loved one And I am looking for myself and my loved one My life is for you And no one other than you Translation 2 This is a long time I’m the person who loves more I’m the person who loves more I’m the person who loves more My life is for you and you are my life There’s nothing else but you Only you ****Lyrics with both Cheb Mami and Sting’s parts: and
