Letra (lyrics)
Era uma vez
um rasgo de magia
dança de sombra e de luz
de sonho e fantasia
num ritual que me seduz
cinema que me dás tanta alegria.
Deixa a música
crescer nesta cadência
na tela do meu coração
voltar a ser criança
e assim esquecer a solidão
os olhos a brilhar
numa sala escura.
Voa a vinte
e quatro imagens por segundo
meu comovido coração
aprendeu a voar
neste cinema paraíso
que eu trago no olhar
e também no sorriso. Cinema Paradiso: Dulce Pontes, Ennio Morricone [Tema de Amor]](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/FhPQrREwTMY/mqdefault.jpg)

Lyrics
Ya lili ah ya leel
Hadaee mada tawila
Wa ana nahos ana wahala ghzalti
wa ana nahos ana wahala ghzalti
wa ana nahos ana wahala ghzalti
[English translation]
Oh night, oh night
So much time has passed
And Ive been searching for my beloved soulmate
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
those dreams are tied to a horse that will never tire
And in the flames
her shadows play in the shape of a mans desire
This desert rose
each of her veils a secret promise
This desert flower
no sweet perfume ever tortured me more than this
And as she turns
this way she moves in the logic of all my dreams
this fire burns
I realize that nothings as it seems
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 rain
I lift my gaze to empty skies above
I close my eyes, this rare perfume
is the sweet intoxication of her love
Aman aman aman
Omry feek antia
Ma ghair antia
ma ghair antia
[English translation]
My life is for you
and nobody else but you
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
Sweet desert rose
each of her veils a secret promise
This desert flower
no sweet perfume ever tortured me more than this
Sweet desert rose
this memory of Eden haunts us all
This desert flower, this rare perfume
is the sweet intoxication of the fall.
Ya lili ah ya leel
