Lyrics
Chorus
Wait for me in Allah’s Land
Where the lonely Temples stand
Far across the burning sand
Desertana Mine
Back to where our love began
I will bring my caravan
Still my heart is truer than
Desert stars that shine
Desertana, wait for me
Where the Nile flows dreamily
While the shadows bring to thee
Dreams of love divine
Desert land will bloom with flow’rs
We’ll forget the longing hours
Paradise will soon be ours
Desertana Mine
Chorus
Wait for me in Allah’s Land
Where the lonely Temples stand
Far across the burning sand
Desertana Mine
Back to where our love began
I will bring my caravan
Still my heart is truer than
Desert stars that shine
Desertana, wait for me
Where the Nile flows dreamily
While the shadows bring to thee
Dreams of love divine
Desert land will bloom with flow’rs
We’ll forget the longing hours
Paradise will soon be ours
Desertana Mine
Can’t you hear me call
While the shadows fall?
You’re my all in all
Desertana Mine
