Lyrics / theme
The song's lyrics are about a woman named Aïcha, who is being wooed by a man. He promises her pearls, jewels, poems, and other luxuries and romantic things, to which she replies:
- Keep your treasures
- I am worth more than all that
- Bars are bars, even if made of gold
- I want the same rights as you
- And respect for each day
- I don't want anything but love
The song's chorus has the following words in French (with English translation):
- Aïcha, Aïcha, écoute-moi = Aisha, Aisha, listen to me
- Aïcha, Aïcha, t'en va pas = Aisha, Aisha, don't go away
- Aïcha, Aïcha, regarde-moi = Aisha, Aisha, look at me
- Aïcha, Aïcha, réponds-moi = Aisha, Aisha, answer me
The lyrics were all in French. The Arabic verse, written and sung by Khaled, is as follows:
- نبغيك عايشة ونموت عليك (Nbghīk ʿāysha wanmūt ʿalīk) = I want you Aisha and would die for you
- هادي قصية حياتي وحبي (Hādī ksayat ḥayātī waḥabbī) = This is the story of my life and my love
- انت عمري وانت حياتي (ʾAnti ʿumrī wʾanti ḥayātī) = You are my years and you are my life
- تمنيت نعيش معك غير انت (Tmannīt nʿaysh mʿāk ghayr ʾanti) = I wish to live with you, only you
