Lyrics:
Åh, jag har sett ett land
och en främmande plats
och kameler i karavan
Och där öga för öga
och tand för en tand
var den lag som man var van
Där kom vindar från öst
Man såg solen i väst
medan timglasets sand rann bort
Ta en matta och sedan
flyger du in den orientaliska natten igen
Arabiska natt
och arabiska dag
Där hettan är het
skonas så vitt jag vet
varken stark eller svag
Arabiska natt
Månen lyser så matt
Se upp med vad du gör,
Du bör tänka dig för
en främmande natt

![Thumbelina - Jaquimo dialogue in Swedish
A video clip when Jacquimo is asking people for the way to the Valley of the elves.
Dunno why I decided to sub/translate this particular scene,
I guess it was because I found it hilarious when I was a kid.
Oh, well, here it is.
Enjoy!
