The night sky over there is like a sky in your dreams
With that deep royal-blue color
And the stars twinkling above
The children take delight in this
And laugh & play under the night sky
With their handmade toys
Inside, the place smells of
Rosewater cookies and mint tea
For the bride and her family
Good wishes swing through the hot air.
The wedding dresses are in a corner
They are exported from all over the world
Handmade and sewn to perfection
Chiffon
Silks
Brocades
All the colors of the rainbow
This is the Algeria that I have lived in
This is the Algeria that I know
You, with your pompous attitude, will never know this place
Will never know who I am
Unless you open your mind
And leave the stereotypes behind
Forget about what you knew before
Forget what was said
Open your mind, my dear
To a place that only a few know of
Summer Nights in Algeria
With that deep royal-blue color
And the stars twinkling above
The children take delight in this
And laugh & play under the night sky
With their handmade toys
Inside, the place smells of
Rosewater cookies and mint tea
For the bride and her family
Good wishes swing through the hot air.
The wedding dresses are in a corner
