Lyrics
[Intro] I just can say, I just can say "Salam"!

[Verse 1] Under the desert stars I'm riding all alone A thousand miles or more And I've got to go I'm going round and round My town is far away I cannot even believe

[Pre-Chorus] What I see, facing me Is coming out from nowhere Baby, it's a real blue man Smiling to me, oh boy, what can I do? I just can say "Salam"

[Chorus - Repeat Twice] What a dream, One Night In Arabia. You touch the sky and feel a woman. What a man, tonight in Arabia. He makes me feel like dying really.

[Verse 2] It's gettin' very dark, predators all around The silver moon above and my camel goes I'm goin' round and round And my ghibli blows away I cannot even believe

[Bridge - After 2nd chorus] One Night In Arabia Under the desert stars I can just say, I can just say "salaam" in Arabia In Arabia.
