verse 1a

a hundred degrees in the shade - there is no shade

no merciful palace of shelter

the sultan no longer bids what he bade

you’re praying for cooler weather

 

verse 1b

shadows in your death like face

the desert´s standing ovations

wonder if someone would like to be in your shoes

don’t have too high expectations

 

chorus

burning burning

crawling crawling

storm leaves no traces in the sand

 

verse 2

watch out for bedouins in loosely hanging clothes / clothing

they don’t know if you are friendly

look where you crawl scorpions reside

bear in mind their poison is deadly

 

chorus

burning burning

crawling crawling

storm leaves no traces in the sand

 

verse 3

camina camina y no mires atrás

no dejes los lobos cogerte

la ley del desierto gobierna aqui

tu aflicción o tu suerte

 

chorus

quemando quemando

andando andando

la tormenta no deja trazos en la arena

 

chorus

quemando quemando

andando andando

la tormenta no deja trazos en la arena
