Oh I come from a land, from a faraway place

Oh I come from a land, from a faraway place
Where the caravan camels roam
Where they cut off your ear
If they don't like your face
It's barbaric, but hey, it's home

When the wind's from the east 
And the sun's from the west 
And the sand in the glass is right 
Come on down, come on in 
Let the magic begin 
It's another Arabian night

Oh, I come from a land where intrigue is in style 
And adventure is status quo 
Where they hack off your lips 
If they don't like your smile 
It's the law, did I make it? No!

See the dervishes dance in ridiculous prance 
Then romance to your heart's delight 
Come on down, stop on by 
Hop a carpet and fly 
To another Arabian night

Arabian nights 
Like Arabian days 
They tease and excite 
Take off and take flight 
They shock and amaze 
Arabian nights 
Like Arabian noons 
The thrills that one seeks 
One finds with the sheiks 
The geeks and the goons 
In that magical place, in that mystical land 
There's a genie inside ev'ry jar 
He'll do all of your bidding, your wishes' command 
It's demeaning but hey, there you are

Unbelievable, yes 
An unethical mess 
Nonetheless no one's very contrite 
You come here and you've 
Come to a land where any million can move 
land of high intrigue with tricky logistics 
By prophets and mystics 
And I've got statistics to prove

Arabian nights 
Like Arabian days 
More often than not 
Are hotter than hot 
In a lot of good ways 
Arabian nights 
'Neath Arabian moons 
fool off his guard 
Could fall and fall hard 
Out there on the dunes

Follow me to a place where incredible feats 
Are routine ev'ry hour or so 
Where enchantment runs rampant 
Gets wild in the streets 
Open sesame and here we go

Pack your shield, pack your sword 
You won't ever get bored 
Though get beaten or gored you might 
Call it mad, call it crazed 
But let Allah be praised 
It's another Arabian night

Я из тех дальних мест, 
Где верблюды окрест
Караванами чинно бредут.
И лицо там с утра обжигают ветра, 
зной пустыни они несут.

Солнце Запада там, 
Побежит на Восток
И прохладу прогонит прочь.
Погости, заезжай, а потом улетай, 
На ковре ты в арабскую ночь!

Арабская но-о-очь! 
Горяча словно де-е-ень!
Тут жарко всегда и даже когда, опускается те-е-ень!
Арабская но-о-очь! 
Под арабской луно-о-ой!
Луна высоко, но так нелегко добраться домо-о-ой!

Добрый путник войди в славный город Багдад
Ты своим не поверишь глазам.
Ждет тебя впереди приключений каскад
Ты готов? Открывайся сезам!

Арабская ночь,
Волшебный восток
Здесь чары и месть, отвага и честь,
Дворцы и песок.
О дивный восток! О сказочный край !
Здесь яд и булат погибель сулят -
Смотри не зевай.

Хоть лукав и жесток, но прекрасен восток,
Наточи свой клинок и вперед,
Пусть ковер самолет от забот унесет
На восток куда сказка зовет!
