[DESILUSTRACIONtv]

I never get tired of listening to this song... I like Sting but I recon that all the magic here belongs to Cheb Mami's voice...Wow, it's wonderful, changes the whole song!!!

[mysanctuary55]

arabic music adds alot to this song! and the lyrics are awesommmmee!

The combination of western and Arabic grooves are great in these song! This makes these song a classic! ;)

[Joliie29]

Awesome ♥

Love this song :)

[83Brokenwings]

Stop leaving horrible posts on this lovely song, I really love this song and reading everyone's filth makes for awful viewing...whatever your religion, views, sexual orientation, that's your choice but no one wants to see it up on here so please do not do it! ('fuck off', to the illiterates who don't understand polite language btw lol!)

[mangaaapate]

what is the name of the soundttrack wich cheb mami sings???????????

[mangaaapate]

I have just one question. can anyone say me what is the song name of the part which cheb mami is singing??

[kindermrt]

Anyone know where Cheb Mami's own solo version can be found please? I've got the mp3 track but would love to have his video to go with it.

[politics105]

it is an old classic Egyptian song I think. I heard it like 20 years ago. it is no original music. hundreds of years old written probably in the Mamluk dynasty.

[thaChenwi42]

sick people!

[politics105]

First time I heard the song, I thought Cheb was a woman. He does have a woman's voice.

[Sasha01020304]

The meaning of FUCK:

In ancient England a person could not have sex unless you had consent of the King (unless you were in the Royal Family). When anyone wanted to have a baby, they got consent of the King, the King gave them a placard that they hung on their door while they were having sex. The placard had F.*.*.*. (Fornication Under Consent of the King) on it. Now you know where that came from.

[SEO021078]

wow

That impresses much!

Nice story. Truly about that?

I knew about the King but not about the Fornication...

Good!

[politics105]

no it is not you. c is for carnal and k for knowledge. it is from the bible.

[Sasha01020304]

Someone!!!!

Well, that's why I have someone Special to make love to me. I have never fuck myself, OMG, you have a very dirty mind.

Just be happy someone and don't be mad with life.

God Bless you Someone, remember you have to give love to everybody.

Don't be mad at yourself, please. And again, I don't have a dirty mind to fuck myself, OMG

God Bless you

[someonefromthisworld]

im impressed! only religious people on internet nowadays! and yea people that never said once fuck in their lives .... not even in their minds... bunch of hypocrits! rot in hell! God knows what the hell you do worse in exchange. if you are so perfect and downrate my fuck comments how come you arent in heavens by now???

[Sasha01020304]

I still think Cheb Mami was a woman singing. He does have a woman's voice and I am not the only one who thinks that.

[Sasha01020304]

So then,...........

Chinga Tu Puta Madre Pendejo.!!!!!

Hope you understand That!

you're garbage, an asshole

Pudrete

[someonefromthisworld]

and you are a fucking jerk/bitch

[Sasha01020304]

I still think Cheb mami has a woman's voice.

You're a sick person.

God Bless you anyway.

[politics105]

most great singers have female voice like john lenon. you don't know anything about vocalists and music so why you even commenting on this? because you are a low life psycho brain damaged scum.

[politics105]

we are here to try and help scum like you to get to heaven and avoid your soul being bunt forever by god for being so rotten and destructive to the earth, to humanity and to god.

[theruedone]

i been lookin for this song for a wile its been a memory in my head since i was younger its just as good as when i herd it back in elementary on tv. great song

[Sasha01020304]

I thought this guy Cheb Mami was a woman singing the song. Wow, incredible, but it is certainly a very beautiful song.

[someonefromthisworld]

you dont make a difference between a woman voice and a man voice? i wouldve rather compared it to a child's voice but not with a woman voice.

[Sasha01020304]

Hi Someonefromthisworld

No, believe me, I really thought that voice was a woman, sorry.....:).....:(

[someonefromthisworld]

then im so sorry you must have some problems with your fucking ears.:)

[Sasha01020304]

Hi Someone,

Don't be rude, I was not rude to you.

I just love Sting and this song reminds me of the year 2000

God bless you and God also Bless your ears

[someonefromthisworld]

what are you? some sort of guru?

[Sasha01020304]

No I am not a guru. I am a human being. And you?

[someonefromthisworld]

im a zebra??? zebras can write like me. Are you also blind?????????

[Sasha01020304]

Ok zebra, nice to meet you.

I am not blind, otherwise I wouldn't have written back and forth to you.

I have beautiful brown eyes.

Bye

Greetings to Zimbawe

I love Sting!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[someonefromthisworld]

doesnt your mama let you write bad words on net? and look at that you down-rated all my comment! O.o :( im so sad

LOL

[Sasha01020304]

No, she doesn't.

I haven't downrated your comments. Who am I to judge you?

Don't be sad, Be happy!!!!!!

I don't LOL

God bless you.

[someonefromthisworld]

well reply on "God bless you"... be carefull: GO FUCK YOURSELF!

[Sudenaz20]

liebe ihn schon seit 20 jahren und das ist einer von meinen lieblingssongs !!!!

[83Brokenwings]

Well if he assaulted someone then too damn right. I just been to the middle east and i witnessed someone getting stabbed in the shoulder in a fight. honest to God, I was scared witless. Those countries need more policing...anyway to the song, Sting makes this song a classic..

[rcm118]

nice pun with "policing", intended?

[83Brokenwings]

Yeah, perhaps it was! LOL! Been long time since i posted it so i can't remember lol!!!!!

[Maginot]

Too Bad! Cheb Mami is now in jail ...

[prettyblueeyesgill]

Just Fantastic........ the two artist work so well together.....Fantastic xxxx

[Andreaki01]

[Ghettokind44]

i love stings voice

[LoveMyTenderness]

just love it (the song) love Stings appearance @ performance love Mamis voce everythings just GREAT!!!

[hamlord87]

Stop the flaming back and forth; enjoy the song~

[83Brokenwings]

It's Arabic, widen your horizons, mister...open your ears and you'll start to understand...the language of Mami blends so fluidly with Sting.....

[yeymereyes]

Exactly...

[sanalipica]

true!

[bigdsears]

this song has got to be about LA somehow, he says it like 50 times

[falastin187]

vollllllllllllllllllllllllllll­lllllll geillllllllllllllllll wahla

[83Brokenwings]

sheavepin, I don't agree with violence in any form. I don't believe in the fist to solve problems...although I can get furious with wife beating esp. in Middle eastern countries....those regimes are so strict and unforgiving but the countries are beautiful as is the music that comes from them...

[sheavepin]

I abhorr needless violence. My boys were brought up to NEVER start it. They MAY however, finish it. There are times one needs to meet violence with violence. Was he going to let him hit her again? No. Was he going to allow him to hit himself? No. One option available. Had the guy been slightly more intelligent, it's possible reasoning may have worked. Sad, but true.

[lollipopbmw3er]

das video und das lied sind einfach nur der hammer.

[chebtiger]

i would like to be like sting in the way he is able to travel a country like argelia with the reason to make a videoclip with a good algerian singer as cheb mami

[funky4teen]

Awesoomenesssss

[goil2yrface]

Here is a person not wearing a seatbelt.

[naimarouf]

i luv dis song im rinsin it out nw

[sevcan93]

hammer!

[DieCouch]

First lets all make this up to mother earth - and then we talk again. Every hand is needed to do so - stop complaining about ego themes - lets do something productive.

[DieCouch]

whole world is crying since MJ has died - how sad we all will be when we realise we blown up earth? give this visualisation a chance - and plz do not watch 2012! in cinema - go out and have a look for yourselfs - world isn´t that bad....its true!

[DieCouch]

...by the way: it is our all birthright to demand healing for the world - and also none of us can say "no!" why waiting any longer - we want changes? why don´t go for?

[DieCouch]

there is no need to argue - in fact we all human beeings - none of us isn`t a child from mother earth - neither the animals or plants - and to my opinion it really doesn´t matter if youre black, white or a pink triangle - what we´re do to our all home - named planet earth is more important than everything else, cuase shes the one who should keep and raise our children - when we are no more - so what the fuxx you all talking about? try to get a hug from someone...

[dinamoh1]

man can be violent no matter where they come from... some are bad some are good like everywhere.

i have been to Algeria with hubby and kids and people are very nice...i m italian and very happy with hubby. Tipaza is a great city...thats where hubby comes from...W ALGERIA

[83Brokenwings]

In my opinion a lot of Arabic men are hotheaded and can be violent. Some, like my man are just slightly moody at times but I've seen some who hit their wife. It's very bad when that happens..it's about power sometimes i think......

[sheavepin]

As a Wiccan I raised my son differently. He kicked the sh*t out of a guy in a bar last year overseas for slapping his girlfriend. (I don't mean my son's girlfriend)

I am proud of him.

[piousone]

So am I.

[goil2yrface]

Listen to Rachid Taha also.

[83Brokenwings]

My husband is Arabic, and he listens only to Arabic songs, but I think he'd like this one, it's very exotic, isn't it?! Where is Cheb Mami from?

Sting's voice is pure gold!

[KTiff123]

Mami is from Algeria, he is a really good singer but not recently a very nice man!! I love this song its one of my fav's. My Husband is Algerian so he only listens to Algerian stuff.

[grandmothersapplepie]

to specialsenna, in the 70's, england WAS very nealy a desert one summer. It might even happen again in your life time.

[zaidmalik]

Cheb Mami is gonna get arrested...for 5 years...

[greeko2012]

why?

[zaidmalik]

girldfriend abusing etc...

[KTiff123]

Yeah and so he should do, he was a bit of a basterd to her.

[AlexanderYK76]

Geiler Song! Geiler Clip!

STING FOREVER!!!!

[specialsenna]

i bought a jaguar because of this song........... but theres no deserts to drive it in england..............

[mystufflol]

wow omg i always thought that it was a female singing not a cheb mami... he's amasing at singing

[deem85]

can you please write the arabic part in arabic, i couldn't understand it in latin letters.

Thanks in advance.

[Eiasash]

Coming from an arab,i could only understand:This is a long period of time,where is the love and peace

the other was like gibberish

[sheavepin]

This song always makes me think about what the wold would be like without fundementalist Christians, Moslems and Jews. Imagine a world without religious governments, wars and intolerance. Would that it soon be.

[252adnan]

learn to spell sheav...Moslems? wold? what are you a todler?

[sheavepin]

1. Didn't realize it was a spelling contest.

2. Merriam Webster: Main Entry: Mos·lem Moslem

Pronunciation:

 \ˈmäz-ləm also ˈmäs-\

variant of muslim

3. Toddler

Where did YOU learn to spell?

[Eiasash]

Reminds me of Imagine by john lennon :)

[sheavepin]

Yeah, I can get that. This song crosses planes.

[playboyemma1]

isnt this song with Aishwarya Rai?

[tahir1alkaroury]

nope just Indian like to take music and added to their clips not cool ;P

[252adnan]

[Rattenbitch]

♥so ein schönes lied♥*-*

[twilighteamedward]

LOVE THIS SONG x3

[CasPioneer]

hei, this is one of my fave songs..GO STING!!!

[chickensupdude]

my bad his voice is not magnificent is ok magnificent means totally amazing like perfect but his isn't perfect.. no one had such a voice unless they were opera singers ^^

[hellousernamethere]

I don't know if you can say anybody's voice is magnificent for sure, it's kind of subjective. And I definitely don't think 'magnificent' can be a word designated for operatic music... :|

[chickensupdude]

his voice is magnificent it's ok learn what magnificent means in english before you say it ;)

[DinaStrange]

Cheb voice is magnificent

[camfroghoofy]

Cheb Mami . Check him out . Great find from Sting to include him in this song.

[makberLeague]

whatever he sings about: great instrumental sound, great voices fitting together :)

5 *

[LadyReginaSmiles]

I want a Jag. See how smooth that ride was on the dirt road? If that was my car you would've had your fillings rattled right out of your head!

[mypspmothafuckaz]

lol

[danasteve]

STING IS THE FUCKEN MAN.

[mrbusybee2710]

Does anyone know what sting is singing about here? He's actually singing about a womans genetalia!! can you believe it, he tell this in a rare interview, it was on youtube once but must have been removed. think of these lines:

" I dream of rain"

"I dream of gardens in the desert"

"No sweet perfume ever tortured a man like this"

It's a very clever song, also many people dont realise that Sting didnt know the meaning of Cheb Mami's lyrics until AFTER they had made the song.

[girlwriter13]

Thanks for sharing, but was it really necessary?

[mrbusybee2710]

KIind of, because I've watched so many peoples posts of this video, (most get removed after a while) that I've seen hundreds of commemnts by people speculating on what they think he's singing about that I thouht I'd share what I saw Sting himself saying about it. sorry if it offends anyone, maybe this is why he rarely speaks of it himself?

[cdthedrummer]

i feel like this is a long car commercial

[mrbusybee2710]

I've had this conversation before with other, it's a lesser known fact that after the video was made, stings manager approached Jaguar and they agreed to use it as thier commercial. Good advert for jag, great marketing for sting (and his manager) Many people have argued with me, no need, just google it and all the facts are there. hope that explains it for you.

[holdenisinfairport]

This Song Is Awsome

they should have come out with more songs like this

[Vivien71]

Cheb Mami looks like Adam Sandler.

[girlwriter13]

Sometimes he does, but what does that have to do with the song?

[Vivien71]

Wow...relax girlwriter13. Relax and enjoy life!

[shiasgirl4ever1987]

Thank you! Man! I agree

[yasinbln]

great song. i knew sting before only from rise and fall with craig david.

does he have more songs with arabic singers?

[7Pendragon7]

I dont thing ... this is the only one i know !

[yasinbln]

bullshit. i think the mix of arabic and western music is beautiful. i wish there would be more songs like this.

[sheavepin]

Check out some of Loreena Mckinnet's stuff.

Awesome

[shiasgirl4ever1987]

I knew people would agree with me! I have been sayin' that man looked like Adam Sandler for years, and my friends were like NO HE DOESN'T! You YouTube people are cool!(Those of you that agreed)

[AZubair22]

i believe these are the arabic lyrics.. not totally sure tho:

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

[bobitlupena]

THAT'S THE REAL MAN

[aakcimbom]

pure musical intoxication - lose urself in the exotic sounds!

[L116Wels]

the song is great.

[topps66]

WOW! Sting his voice is pure power not to many out there that can do what he does
