An enchanting epic song about a beautiful woman dancing on the desert sands....

lyrics

Dancing with the moon, the sun in her hand
The girl Charlene is swaying in the sand
Fingers twirling smoke rising from the fire
Air burns hot with desire

With a wave of her hand, the crowd cries, "Allah!"
Music starts again

Dancing starlight shining in her hair while an eagle flies overhead
Recalls an ancient time when the sun knew no name
The girl Charlene is swaying again

With a wave of her hand, the crowd cries, "Allah!"
Music starts again

Oh Charlene, with the red dress your the queen
Of the warm desert night
Oh Charlene, with the red dress your the queen
Let the music get you high

With a wave of her hand, the crowd cries, "Allah!"
Music starts again
