Lyrics translation:

Lets dream
The beautiful night is getting closer
The charming darkness and its stars are calling us
Come lets count the rays of light
And make the sand dunes witness our love
Lets walk together
On our peaceful island
And keep our wandering footsteps on the sand
When the dew drops come in the morning
At least one flower will grow where we dreamed
Lets dream
That we are walking backwards not forwards
That we reached Babylon once upon a morning
Taking our love vow to the temple
Where a kind loving Babylonian priest blesses our union
We will dream, we will dream
