Ballad of the Arabian GypsyShe moves like a whirlwind
So fast and furiously
Unlike her soul, calm and tranquil
Leading the trance so immensely
Spirit of the desert
Woman of a gypsy soul
Teach me how to flow
Like the waters of Babylon
Her scarfs are monuments of life
Flying like bluebirds in the sky
Her body is of marble and silk
And I wonder… Can I try?
Spirit of the desert
Woman of a gypsy soul
Teach me how to flow
Like the waters of Babylon
She dances like there’s no tomorrow
Like every day may be the last
I can picture myself between her velvets
Of a journey to a distant past
Spirit of the desert
Woman of a gypsy soul
Teach me how to flow
Like the waters of Babylon
Take me the panic that I’m immersed
Tell me the words that are hard to say
Make me forget that this may pass
And dance till the break of day
The wind howls like a hammer
And the gypsy smiles at me
I forgot where I was standing
Love or lust, I’ll let it be
Spirit of the desert
Woman of a gypsy soul
Teach me how to flow
Like the waters of Babylon
