Original lyrics

Sahara

Inmensa región arenosa
Hermana de Egipto y Arabia
Infierno de sol y espejismo
Sahara eres tú, eres tú
Sahara, aquí va mi caravana
Estéril tierra africana
Cuna en que reposa el sol
Sahara, templo de la diosa amada
Flor del desierto quemada
Sacerdotisa de amor
 
Allá el sol comienza a morir
Y va esta oración para ti
Y la luna parece un turbante de plata perdido de Alá
Sahara, harén de luna y estrellas
Jardín de Alá, flor de arena
La favorita del sol
 
English
Translation

Sahara

Vast region of sands
Sister of Egypt and Arabia
Blazing inferno of the sun and its mirages
Are you, Sahara
Sahara, here comes my caravan
Barren African land
The cradle in which the sun lays its head
Sahara, temple of the beloved goddess
Scorched desert flower
Priestess of love
 
There, the sun begins to die back
And my prayer goes out to you
And the moon becomes like a silvery turban, that Allah once lost
Sahara, curtained room of moonlight and stars
Garden of Allah, desert flower
Most highly favored by the sun
