I dream of rain I dream of gardens in the desert sand I wake in vain I dream of love as time runs through my hand I dream of fire Those dreams that tie two hearts that will never die And near the flames The shadows play in the shape of the man′s desire This desert rose Whose shadow bears the secret promise This desert flower No sweet perfume that would torture you more than this And now she turns This way she moves in the logic of all my dreams This fire burns I realize that nothing's as it seems I dream of rain I dream of gardens in the desert sand I wake in vain I dream of love as time runs through my hand I dream of rain I lift my gaze to empty skies above I close my eyes The rare perfume is the sweet intoxication of love I dream of rain I dream of gardens in the desert sand I wake in vain I dream of love as time runs through my hand Sweet desert rose Whose shadow bears the secret promise This desert flower No sweet perfume that would torture you more than this Sweet desert rose This memory of hidden hearts and souls This desert flower This rare perfurme is the sweet intoxication of love Sting - Shape Of My Heart He deals the cards as a meditation And those he plays never suspect He doesn′t play for the money he wins He doesn't play for the respect He deals the cards to find the answer The sacred geometry of chance The hidden law of probable outcome The numbers lead a dance I know that the spades are the swords of a soldier I know that the clubs are weapons of war I know that diamonds mean money for this art But that's not the shape of my heart He may play the jack of diamonds He may lay the queen of spades He may conceal a king in his hand While the memory of it fades I know that the spades are the swords of a soldier I know that the clubs are weapons of war I know that diamonds mean money for this art But that′s not the shape of my heart That′s not the shape, the shape of my heart And if I told you that I loved you You'd maybe think there′s something wrong I'm not a man of too many faces The mask I wear is one Those who speak know nothing And find out to their cost Like those who curse their luck in too many places And those who smile are lost I know that the spades are the swords of a soldier I know that the clubs are weapons of war I know that diamonds mean money for this art But that′s not the shape of my heart That's not the shape of my heart Writer(s): Sting Lyrics powered by Hadaee mada tawila. Wa ana nahos ana wahala ghzalti. Wa ana nahos ana wahala ghzalti. Wa ana nahos ana wahala ghzalti. Ich träume von Regen. Ich träume von Gärten im Wüstensand. Ich erwwache vergebens. Ich träume von Liebe, während die Zeit durch meine Hand rinnt. Ich träume von Feuer. Diese Träume sind an ein Pferd gebunden, das niemals müde wird. Und in den Flammen spielen ihre Schatten in der Form der Gelüste eines Mannes. Diese Wüstenrose, jeder ihrer Schleier, ein geheimes Versprechen. Diese Wüstenblume, kein süßes Parfüm hat mich je mehr gefoltert als sie. Und als sich verändert, die Art, wie sie sich bewegt. In der Logik meiner Träume brennt dieses Feuer. Und ich erkenne, dass nichts ist wie es scheint. Ich träume von Regen. Ich träume von Gärten im Wüstensand. Ich erwwache vergebens. Ich träume von Liebe, während die Zeit durch meine Hand rinnt. Ich träume von Regen. Ich hebe meinen Kopf zu leeren Himmeln über mir. Ich schliesse meine Augen, dieses seltene Parfüm ist das süsse Gift ihrer Liebe. Aman aman aman. omry feek antia. ma ghair antia. ma ghair antia. Ich träume von Regen. Ich träume von Gärten im Wüstensand. Ich erwwache vergebens. Ich träume von Liebe, während die Zeit durch meine Hand rinnt. Süße Wüstenrose, jeder ihrer Schleier, ein geheimes Versprechen. Diese Wüstenblume, kein süßes Parfüm hat mich je mehr gefoltert als sie. Süße Wüstenrose. Diese Erinnerung von Eden sucht uns alle heim. Diese Wüstenblume, dieses seltene Parfüm ist das süsse Gift des Sturzes. Ya lili ah ya lee. Writer(s): Sting Lyrics powered by zuletzt bearbeitet von Petius am 17. März 2014, 20:10 The titular “desert rose” is actually a reference to a woman. And as such, this is basically a love song. The unique angle that runs throughout is apparently the singers (Sting and Cheb Mami) have been separated from the women whom they adore for a noticeable period of time. Thus they are expressing what Sting described in his own words as “desire” and “craving”. That is to say that they are longing for their respective romantic partners. And the whole “desert” scenario was apparently inspired by Sting wanting to drop something like a Middle East-themed song, thus the Cheb Mami feature. But it also serves as a metaphor to how desolate his life has become without love. And it should be noted that in Sting’s case in particular, his lyrics read more along the lines of anticipating a new partner as opposed to wanting to get reacquainted with an old one. But either way, what he and Cheb definitely have in common is that they are both currently suffering emotionally due to being devoid of a romantic partner.
