Album: Táabákú
On the way to Marrakesh, in the land of Morocco
I met this beautiful lass, in her face I saw my light
In the bus we got talking, in the sand we went a-walking
And I made her understand, I was going off my mind
My lady of the valley, come to me my darling
I’m enthralled by your pretty eyes and I know it is alright
Meet me tonight by the olive grove,
Bring your heart and your soothing smile
I’ve written home to my daddy and he says it is alright.
Our love will never die, stronger than Moroccan leather
I’ll keep you safe in my arms, put some magic in your life
My lady of the valley, come to me my darling
It’s a good day for loving, everything is so alive,
Tread the water without any fear,
I’ll be right there by your side
I’ve written home to mummy and I know it is alright
On the way to Marrakesh, in the land of Morocco
I found me a lovely girl, in the shade of a minaret
At a table in the bazaar, drinking strong Moroccan coffee
I told her about my feelings, now there is no going back
Our love will never die, stronger than Moroccan leather
She’s never met a man like me, I never knew a girl like this
My lady of the valley, come to me my darling
I’m in love with your gentle ways and I know it is alright
You woke me up so early, took me ‘round Moroccan alleys
Yes, I got lost a few times but I know it is alright
