Night falls softly all across the land,
The moon lights the way for the Nomad caravan,
Traipsing across the desert, across the sand,
Forever roaming time will not stand
Still
Ai-Ai, Ai-Ai,
Light a fire to keep us warm,
Ai-Ai, Ai-Ai,
Keep it burning 'til the break of dawn.
Ai-Ai.
Dawn breaks brightly all across the land,
Pack up possessions, start the caravan,
Keep on rolling across the sand,
Forever roaming time will not stand
Still
Ai-Ai, Ai-Ai,
The camels continue to plod on.
Ai-Ai, Ai-Ai,
The sun comes up and we sing our song.
Ai-Ai.
Red sunset glows all across the land,
Find a place to rest, stop the caravan,
Spread the blankets on top of the sand,
Forever roaming time will not stand
Still
Ai-Ai, Ai-Ai,
Spread the canvases, erect our tents.
Ai-Ai, Ai-Ai,
Full are our bellies our day is spent.
Ai-Ai, Ai-Ai,
Dusk brings darkness all across the land,
Sleep has come to the caravan,
Nomads slumber, surrounded by sand,
Forever roaming time will not stand
Still.
Ai-Ai, Ai-Ai,
Silvery moon bathes the land in light,
Ai-Ai, Ai-Ai,
Not another living soul in sight.
Ai-Ai.
But
Our caravan never really sleeps,
A nightwatchman to protect our precious beasts,
As we travel,
Stories unfold,
We never stop moving,
Like the world so we're told.
