I swear, I heard this when I was very little and I liked the song, but I couldn't in my life figure out the name. From time to time, it got stuck in my head but I could only remember the melody and not the song so today I figured it out by this website where you can hum the melody to figure out the song. Tool 10 minutes, but finally I know the song after like 10 years! Ugh! Finally
Ive found myself just sitting on a chair...looking through the window and thinking how beautiful this song and melody is.. i could be listening to this all day.Thank you
Brian Gallardo. I have a friend that speaks Arabic. I haven't talked to him face to face in over 8 years. His family is from Egypt and he was Muslim. I considered him a brother and good friend. But he moved in 2010.
@@Ciara1594 I was stationed in Germany and because I had always heard that German was an "ugly" language, it was very difficult for me to learn. One day I realized that it was my choice to perceive it as "ugly." I tried to imagine how German speakers heard themselves. Just by asking the question, I began to be able to listen better. I realized that what I had been conditioned to hear as "ugly" was actually the Germans making a lot of effort to be precise and exact. Once I could hear the precision and exactness of the Germanic language, I suddenly began to pick it up rapidly. Point is that no language is "ugly." Only our own quality of listening can make any language seem ugly.
That s Mawal in arabic doesnt have to mean Safe just for sounds of the melody Layli Layli means my night but here just used for the rythm. His name cheb mami great singer too like sting
I used to work as a go go dancer-I loved that job-it was so fun but everytimr I got on stage the DJ would ALWAYS PLAY THIS SONG & I didn't know it yet-I was more into hip hop at the time. Years later I realized I love the song & I just wish I had appreciated it more back then because it was actually a compliment that he played this EVERY TIME I was up there even when I would ask him 'Stop playing that song.....LOL Now its in my regularly played songlists. Funny how that happens & it reminds me of those days dancing & having so much fun-Really-Best Job ever-Getting to play dress up & dance & be paid very well for it LOL
I love this song and so does my wife - it's one of the few songs we both genuinely like. That being said, I like what Family Guy said about Sting - you can only ever understand roughly every 3rd word.
The instructions and cheb's voice take me far away and when the song ends my soul pines for a home long gone away! God, it makes me feel so homesick !!!
my favourite song for the past 12 yrs n i doubt it will ever be surpassed by anything else i hear never failing to make me feel the same about it as the first time i heard it
My dad use to play this song all the time in the car. I for some reason remember we were in the car on our way to Canada and I could see the stars in the night sky and houses scattered on the rural plains. It was pretty awesome...
Your songs made me realize that you know who I am exactly. I realized that you know that I am truly and what I want. I realized that all the things I saw and did were worth something because I am not alone and there are others who believe in me
Love Sting OMG can't believe i was lead to forget this band :( Love you always please bless this group and all they've earned for this I am eternal grateful. Love once more wraps me in with Golden string that glows from the Love that was made from here to Life itself. Bless you all for Song brings re new some old. Blessings always in forever so mote this be Love Light and blessings for helping to save me and bringing me back to Life. For this "god" you all think did whatever...failed none of us ..was a point I myself needed to understand. Bless us and those I harmed for I go forth to undo damage done. Forever more mote this so! Amen
Absolutely beautiful, timeless song, an ultimate expression of love and desire...ethereal, like the gods made it. Because even the gods love music sweet as this.
Music HAS NO LANGUAGE. We're built with music in our soul without even knowing it. I can barely understand a fucking word he's saying BUT i fahhkin love itt its jus so soothinn ❤💯🤷♂️
It's an amazing song, i love it!!! But I have to say "bravo" to the people who understood the lyrics of the song! I could never understood them, no way...
+Catherine Simone u take the literal meaning of this song. of the lyrics. its really amazing though. kind of miss the time where the songs had good feelings in it
Absolutely agree. I was 15. Lived in Russia at that time. This song was HUGE there. Years later it`s still my number 1 song and "O Clone" my favorite soup opera:)
Desert rose is excellent song,jst hear that beauty imaaaaaaginatios,emotions,feeelings coming from Paradise.Sting is really genius.Thank you STING very much.
by closing my eyes and hearing this song pictures of the desert and the rains falling on it and with that a rose nurtured by a man and finally this rose is singing and that might be sting
الشاب مامي و خالد هم عمالقة الراى الجزاءر و فى العالم و ستينج تاني زاد في الاغنية النص وانا هاذا وين باش فهمتلها الكلمات عندما طلبت الاغنية بالكلمات راءعة جدا ونا راوية من الجزاءر
my heart cries every time I hear this. so much love in my heart but can't seem to find the love that feels as my heart feels. I pray God will allow me to feel what love truly feels like one-day.
I remember me & my Mom went to Arizona spring break 2009. We drove there I live in California, so Arizona is like maybe 4 hours of driving distance there. While we were out in the middle of the desert, that song was on. It's a pretty nice song to listen to while driving in the desert! :)
this song since I first heard that I was fascinated by their music inspires me a lot and we should not point people to stop dreaming and stop believing in love live is the only thing we have in this life
if ever there was a man... if there ever was a woman who knew a man... if ever there was a true and real love!... this song would give them both the pause to reflect on the affect of THAT LOVE!! Wow!! Very moving, as only a voice and feel like Sting could do!
wellfudgethis Thanks for saying what I was thinking. Racists will be in for a shock in 2044 when the census predicts Latinos/Hispanics will be majority and whites the minority.
So emotional song Stan was great and Cheb mami was a legend in this song , with the "Aman" parts and " hadi moda twila wana nhawes ana w alla alla ghzalti " Thanks to you all gays for mading one of the greatest combination song i ever enjoyed Luv u all from Algeria 🇩🇿 ❤️🌹
I remember how before Sirius and XM merged they played the intro whenever there was a technical difficulty. I remember hearing this on a channel thinking the song was starting until I heard the announcement that there is a tech difficulty. In other words, THIS IS TIMELESS

your life is complete now
xdevilx86 it really is haha
I heard it was I was a teen. Had forgotten about it. Love this song. Its very haunting.
Which website ?
Mr-Anas midomi.com
this song evokes the spiritual and passionate aspect of love. raises the spirit
I am the horse that will never tire.
@@tinahodge845 Exactly it both inspires and breaks my heart... again and again and again.
One of Stings greatest. Cheb Mami added his part perfect. Arabic is a very beautiful language.
I could listen to this song all day. Sting is awesome with a great voice.
Ive found myself just sitting on a chair...looking through the window and thinking how beautiful this song and melody is.. i could be listening to this all day.Thank you
People say that Arabic is an ugly language but to me I think it's beautiful and it influenced Spanish.
Brian Gallardo. I have a friend that speaks Arabic. I haven't talked to him face to face in over 8 years. His family is from Egypt and he was Muslim. I considered him a brother and good friend. But he moved in 2010.
It's German that's an ugly language. It's so harsh and gutteral. It sounds like cussing. 🙁
Spanish is influenced/created from latin, of course not from arabic..
Actually, about a quarter of the words in the Spanish language come from Mosarabe (a version of Arabic). The rest primarily come from Latin.

Wow. Just wow... Now this is a love song! The lyrics are chillingly beautiful.
I love this song! I watched Sting perform last night in Cape Town, South Africa! And when he played this song, I got chills :)
I love that badass Arabian breakdown in the middle, from 2:36-3:09
you rase me up
not really a break down just saying aman which is safe
That s Mawal in arabic doesnt have to mean Safe just for sounds of the melody Layli Layli means my night but here just used for the rythm. His name cheb mami great singer too like sting

Just saw Sting perform this live tonight and dear God it sounds just as perfect live .
A timeless piece of art! Truly magnificent.
The Arab parts give this song the strong exotic vibes it has.
This song brings back memories... Penetrates deep into the heart! Luv it!
The instructions and cheb's voice take me far away and when the song ends my soul pines for a home long gone away!
God, it makes me feel so homesick !!!

my girlfriend found this for me when she realized how much i miss living in the desert. i love it. i love here. and i hope this song never gets old
My dad use to play this song all the time in the car. I for some reason remember we were in the car on our way to Canada and I could see the stars in the night sky and houses scattered on the rural plains. It was pretty awesome...
I have the same memory, but on a trip to Las Vegas!
Your songs made me realize that you know who I am exactly. I realized that you know that I am truly and what I want. I realized that all the things I saw and did were worth something because I am not alone and there are others who believe in me
Sting is genius
I close my eyes and listen to this....It's so beautiful it sends chills down my spine...

It's an amazing song, i love it!!! But I have to say "bravo" to the people who understood the lyrics of the song! I could never understood them, no way...
Catherine Simone A lot of CDs come with little booklets with the lyrics.
PyroGothNerd I know, but I usually don't buy CDs, I prefer youtube...
Catherine Simone
Yeah, but what I'm saying is whoever uploaded the lyrics video likely had the CD, which may be how they knew the lyrics.
PyroGothNerd Oh, right, I didn't think of that! I had forgotten -probably because I don't buy CDs!

Yo, Grim Reaper, the beautiful voice you heard is from the male singer Cheb Mami.
The lyarics are awsome and very deep
Great lyrics! Superb....
I remember how my mom used to play this song all the time when I was really small. Thankfully, over a decade later, I was able to find it! :D
I dream of her as time runs through my hands
This song is so beautiful. I liked how the guy sang it. It is so soothing
One of my favourite song :)
I always wondered what was said in the very beginning of the song. It's beautiful and thanks for posting this.
I always picture something epic in my head when I listen to this
i love this song and the arabic sounds absolutely wonderful... sting is one talented man
WHERE WAS THIS SONG ALL MY LIFE?!

2019 for me
My all time favorite song ...2019

I think of the Prince of Persia when I listen to this
Me fuckin too
I know the fellow. Can't catch a break.
I think of Dune. Feyd Rautha is a fantastic musician...pretty handy with the baliset, one could say XD
the voice brings me to here
go Fariiiiiiiiiiiiiid
geetings from Libya
Love to Dance to this Song, Lovely Song!
can i dance with you
Sandra Wow Fell in love with a beautiful Palestinian girl dancing to this song, Wonderful Memories😊
This is my favorite song. thank you much for sharing.
People wouldn't know about this good music, cause now days people are into trap music
No sweet song ever tortured me more than this..
2019 anyone???
Heck yea still listening in 2019
this song since I first heard that I was fascinated by their music inspires me a lot and we should not point people to stop dreaming and stop believing in love live is the only thing we have in this life
I love the integration of East and Middle East.
this song's lyrics makes me grew some goosebumps. quite powerful message there. its beautiful
Arabs for life ✋
if ever there was a man... if there ever was a woman who knew a man... if ever there was a true and real love!... this song would give them both the pause to reflect on the affect of THAT LOVE!! Wow!! Very moving, as only a voice and feel like Sting could do!
excellent see what happens when western and middle eastern cultures collaborate? a fucking nice n pleasant song!!! why da fuk cant we just get along?
wellfudgethis Thanks for saying what I was thinking. Racists will be in for a shock in 2044 when the census predicts Latinos/Hispanics will be majority and whites the minority.
Wasn't whites always the minority? But I feel bad for the whites in Europe.
Funny how homophobes criticizes Islam for being homophobic while they hate homosexuality.
Yeah I don't know why probably because of 9/11, but there's been terrorist attacks before 9/11.
So emotional song Stan was great and Cheb mami was a legend in this song , with the "Aman" parts and " hadi moda twila wana nhawes ana w alla alla ghzalti "
Thanks to you all gays for mading one of the greatest combination song i ever enjoyed
Luv u all from Algeria 🇩🇿 ❤️🌹
It reminds me of Xena: Warrior Princess for some reason..
I remember how before Sirius and XM merged they played the intro whenever there was a technical difficulty. I remember hearing this on a channel thinking the song was starting until I heard the announcement that there is a tech difficulty. In other words, THIS IS TIMELESS
The song sounds like something egyptian.
D. Fortner naah the singer is actually Algerian
Byun baekhyun it's more middle eastern
@@znahla3400 okay then but hearing this reminds me of the mummy movies.
@@vkroberts3024 alright then.
Such a sweet meaning full song
when i was little i thought the woman was saying “alien” in the beginning
It's a guy lol
Das Lied mit dem oriantalischen Rittmen gefällt mir gut. Thanks for lyrics
this beat is off the hook!
One of the best songs ever made!
Notice how the Fs in this font resemble scimitars
One of my favorites, I enjoy it since long ago.
