 * Page || Word/Term/Phrase || Meaning/Explanation ||
 * 13 || Cafe d'Eckmuhl Noiseux || Name of the small restaurant in which the three main characters begin their journeys into North Africa. Interesting to note the distinctly European flavor in the cafe's name (half-German, half-French?) because their travels take them to less and less familiar (less Western) places and situations. ||

[|Police -- "Tea in the Sahara"] media type="youtube" key="QzeddbU3wOA" height="344" width="425" Tea In The Sahara lyrics

My sisters and I Have the wish before we die And it may sound strange As if our minds are deranged Please don’t ask us why Beneath the sheltering sky We have this strange obsession You have the means in your possession

Tea in the sahara with you Tea in the sahara with you

The young man agreed He would satisfy their need So they danced for this pleasure With a joy you could not measure They would wait for him here The same place every year Beneath the sheltering sky Across the desert he would fly

Tea in the sahara with you Tea in the sahara with you

Tea in the sahara with you Tea in the sahara with you

The sky turned to black Would he ever come back They would climb a high dune They would pray to the moon But he’d never return So the sisters would burn As their eyes searched the land With their cups still full of sand

Tea in the sahara with you Tea in the sahara with you

Tea in the sahara with you Tea in the sahara with you
