Au Café Des Délices

Your memories fade away
It's like an eclipse
A night full of stars
At the port of Tunis
The breeze from the fan
Of your grandfather sitting
At the Café of Delights
Your memories fade away
You see the train passing
And the whiteness of the sails
Of women holding a child
And the scent of jasmine
He held in his hands
At the Café of Delights
Yalil yalil abibi yalil yalil yalil abibi yalil
Your memories fade away
You see her again, the girl
The kiss that hurts
At the port of El Kantaoui
The first words of love
On velvet songs
Abibi Abibi
Your memories fade away
You loved those fruits
The apricot pits
To you, they were marbles
And the festive nights
We imagined in our heads
On the beaches of Hammamet
Yalil yalil abibi yalil yalil yalil abibi yalil
Your memories fade away
At the front of the boat
And that dock drifting away
Towards a new world
A life that stops
For a day that begins
Maybe it's a chance
Yalil yalil you won't forget
Yalil yalil those scents from the past
Yalil yalil you won't forget
Yalil yalil even if you leave
Yalil yalil abibi yalil yalil yalil abibi yalil
A night full of stars
At the port of Tunis
And the whiteness of the sails
Of women holding a child
The breeze from the fan
Of your grandfather sitting
And the scent of jasmine
He held in his hands
At the Café of Delights
