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.
