Sahara Night

Activity Put in Order

Music from the 80's. The French Tunissian born singer Eli Robert Fitoussi, known as F.R. David, became world famous with his hit Words in 1982, after some time being part of Vangelis. Sahara Night is also one of his greatest international hits.

Warning: there are a few -s sounds that simply shouldn't be there. We removed them from the transcription. Also when he says "the hold he had on me" the tense doesn't fit the rest of the lyrics because he is talking about all this experience in the present, so we dared to put "it has on me". And "cease" should be "ceases" (3rd person singular).

Between moon and sun
At the failing lights
On vast and empty land
Where no one belongs
Spirit of the sands
When the blue gets dark
 
In the desert fields
Makes me wanna shout
Fever's so high
Sahara night
 
Listen to the wind
Of a tribal dance
Music from afar
Bringing to your ears
Coming from the heights
You may hear the sounds
 
Makes me wanna shout
Fever's so high
In the desert fields
Sahara night
Sahara, Sahara night
Oooooh oooooh ooooooh
 
The hold he had on me
I now realise
With its weight of fear
The awful mystery of space
And stars screen
Oooooh oooooh ooooooh
 
Smiling at the stars
I love to watch the sky
Gentle is the breeze
Laying on the ground
Soothing my mind
Hope it never cease
 
Makes me wanna shout
Fever's so high
Oooooh oooooh ooooooh
In the desert fields
Sahara night
Sahara, Sahara night
 
Sahara night
Oh, Sahara night
Oooooh oooooh ooooooh
Ooh, Makes me feel
Makes me feel so right
Makes me feel so right
Makes me feel
