Cheb Mami is currently imprisoned in France, where he was recently found guilty of drugging and forcing a former partner to undergo a failed abortion. A court in Paris found him guilty at trial and sentenced him to five years in prison.[1]
(** MAMI is PURE GOLD **) --- HERE IS THE LYRICS: Layli ya layli ya [Oh night, oh night] Hadi muda tweela [It's been too long] Wana nhawis ana wala ghzalti [That I've been looking for my loved one] Wana nhawis ana wala ghzalti [That I've been looking for my loved one] Wana nhawis ana wala ghzali [That I've been looking for my loved one] 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 .......
Gorgeous, the idea, the way it came about, the collaboration, the singing. Cheb Mami has an incredible gift. He's the first Rai singer I've ever heard, and I'm very impressed. The Middle East is so mysterious to us... and this is a song of beauty, both the meaning and the song itself. Wonderful work by everyone involved. This is musical magic.
.*My night, Oh my night (referring to his beloved, who's as beautiful as the clear gorgeous desert nights (I've been there trust me!)) *This has been an eternity since I've been looking for my (Ghouzelleti gazelle *Eventhough I long to see her and finally meet her to hold her in my arms forever, i would prefer to keep her in my mind like a secret poem. *model her and make her look more beautiful inside and out.
See, Cheb Mami is Algerian, just as I am, and the language he sings with is not
exactly Arabic, it's a mixture of Berber and Arabic , but for an Arab from the middle East, the Algerian language is very hard to understand, since we pronouce wordsdifferently. Anyway, Mami's words are very very poetic, hence very hard to translate 'cause they'll loose most of their meaning
FUCKING AMAZING!!!!!!!!!...... perfect, how good can i song get?
cheb i love your tune of voice, sting i love your influence and vioce, theres nothing i would change, holla!!.. watch this one by me "arabic music by yusefmou" plz you'll like it

Wana nhawis ana wala ghzali [That I've been looking for my loved one]
End, (Ya lili ah ya leel [My night, oh night)

Thanks for posting Mami's words and the translation.
The part that I totally loved is when Sting explained the Sufi belief that the love of a woman is the love of God. So beautiful.

Middle East is so mysterious to us because of its intricate mentality. Arabs enjoy playing with our minds.
And this statement comes from a thrilling experience of someone that once was totally in love with this part of the world...
