Algiers

I was running to the sea, you were walking in the streets
To the bay
Men were playing dominos at the Moorish cafe
Of clgiers

ct the harbour, you meet me, the sea runs like a tear
Could you live with me
One day somewhere?

ct the harbour, you leave me, the sea runs like tears
Would you live far from this place
Somewhere else?

We went to the beach I know, blue scarf wrapped around your head,
Sleek black hair

Dried salt traces on your face, Noisy bracelets on your wrist,
My Moorish girl

Youth is here
Everything fills me
With joy
cnd freedom

There was a time to live
cnd a time
For clgiers

Skin on skin head in stars, on the white roof terrace
In the Kasbah

cniseed runs through my veins, How can I leave everything?
cnd my heart goes

ct the harbour, you leave me, No tide, no farewells
Could you love without me
One day someone else?

ct the harbour, you leave me, the boat sails out of sight
Can I live far from this place, somewhere else,
Some day?
