2) A hip hop artist from Toronto, Ontario

1) Arabesque was a famous German disco music group formed in 1977, consisting of Sandra Cretu (joined the group in 1979), Jasmin Vetter, and Michaela Rose. After a split in 1984 Jasmin Vetter and Michaela Rose continued as the group "Rouge", while Sandra Cretu started her career in the group Sandra with Michael Cretu.
Arabesque was popular in Japan, selling more than 6 million albums there. They also had success in the USSR. In 1980 the single "Take Me Don't Break Me" became a hit, which only scraped the German Top 40. Their next single, "Marigot Bay", would become their single Top Ten hit a few weeks later. Their last singles "Ecstasy" and "Time to Say Goodbye", turned hits after their split, on various central, south and east European countries, because they sounded very close to the "Italo-disco" sound, a very popular music genre of the European Discotheques at that time. Those songs spread and gained success through LP compilations of dance/pop music and bootleg tapes, so the group never could take advantage of this success neither those songs turn on any kind of charts as "singles". That was a common problem for many '80s European artists. The last Arabesque singles introduced the "Italo-disco" sound to Japan, under the term "eurobeat", previously used in the UK for the Stock Aitken Waterman productions. That soon lead to Japan's Super Eurobeat music style.
On December 16, 2006 Arabesque (featuring Michaela Rose and two new members Sabine Kaemper and Silke Brauner) headlined the second Retro FM festival in Moscow.
2) "One of hip hop’s most talked about artists, Besque continues to intrigue Music’s biggest names. Signing with UK based label Sin Nombre with distro via Universal, “The Frenzy Of Renown” was released with glowing reviews. He was nominated Rap Recording of the Year at the 2007 Juno Awards, hosted by Nelly Furtado. International press in various publications, also landing him in a meet and greet with The Source Magazine staff in New York. Fall of 2007 Arabesque graced his first cover of an international magazine with NOX, the leading and most admired English speaking Mid East publication. A slew of global 12 inch singles with a wide-reach across campus radio charts. As well earning himself sponsorship’s from L-R-G and Scifen Clothing. Arabesque has opened up for artists such as Wu-tang's Raekwon, Little Brother, Zion I, Dilated Peoples and Sean Paul."

3) Arabesque is a Dutch powerhouse trio from the mid nineties.
They produce an interesting music pure mixture of rock, fusion and progressive elements.
But they has two female singers in his second album "The Union" (2002), very different from his debut album, "Beyond the veil", 8 years before. Though could be qualified as prog-metal is easier to listen to than other bands if you're not into that music style. A "lighter" Dream Theater...?
6) Arabesque were a Pittsburgh area progressive rock band that began in 1973. They have one archival CD on Shroom Records containing recordings from 1976-1979.

Don't Wait for a Sailor
Arabesque Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
He called me tonight
To say, "Please be waiting
Till I hold you tight"
His voice was not clear
But he said it might
Be due to long distance
He loved me alright
Oh, don't wait for a sailor
Whatever he'll say
You'll find all his phrases
In any old play
Oh, don't wait for a sailor
On the ocean of life
Be gladly his lover
But never his wife
I think he is drinking
He calls from a bar
Tonight from an island
That's named Zanzibar
He's sailing in August
Comes home in July
May be Christmas evening
For one kiss goodnight
Oh, don't wait for a sailor
Whatever he'll say
You'll find all his phrases
In any old play
Oh, don't wait for a sailor
On the ocean of life
Be gladly his lover
But never his wife
If he says one day:
"I'm coming home to stay"
Don't you worry
He's going back tu the sea
(Don't you warry)
(He's going back)
Oh, don't wait for a sailor
Whatever he'll say
You'll find all his phrases
In any old play
Oh, don't wait for a sailor
On the ocean of life
Be gladly his lover
But never his wife
Oh, don't wait for a sailor
Whatever he'll say
You'll find all his phrases
In any old play
Oh, don't wait for a sailor
On the ocean of life
Be gladly his lover
But never his wife
The song, "Don't Wait for a Sailor" by Arabesque tells the story of a long-distance relationship with a sailor and the emotions that come along with it. The singer receives a call from her lover who is out at sea asking her to wait for him until he returns. However, the singer has doubts about the sincerity of the sailor's promises and advises against waiting for him, as it may be a futile and painful endeavor. The lyrics paint a picture of a long, isolated, and uncertain relationship with a man who is not reliable and prone to drinking and other distractions. Even if he promises to stay, the singer knows deep down that he will go back to the sea and leave her behind again.
The song portrays the emotional struggles of long-distance relationships and the uncertainty that comes with them. It also highlights the struggles that women face when in love with sailors who may not be trustworthy. The singer advises women to be the lover of the sailor but never his wife, as the lifestyle of a sailor is unpredictable, and relationships with them could end in heartbreak.
Overall, "Don't Wait for a Sailor" is a poignant and emotional song that draws from the experiences of women in relationships with sailors.

ой мореплаватель.
Он позвонил мне сегодня,
Чтобы сказать: "пожалуйста, жди,
Пока я крепко обниму тебя"»
Его голос был неясен,
Но он сказал, что это может
Быть из-за большого расстояния,
Он любил меня горячо
Припев:
О нежди моряка,
Что бы он ни сказал,
Ты найдешь все его фразы
В любой старой пьесе.
О, не жди моряка
В океане жизни,
Будь с радостью его возлюбленной,
Но никогда его женой.....
Я думаю,,
Он звонит из бара
Сегодня ночью с острова,
Который называется Занзибар.
Он плывет в августе,
Возвращается домой в июле,
Может быть, Рождественский вечер
На одну ночь поцелуя.
Припев жди моряка,
Что бы он ни сказал,
Ты найдешь все его фразы
В любой старой пьесе.
О, не жди моряка
В океане жизни,
Будь с радостью его возлюбленной,
Но никогда его женой,
Если он однажды скажет: "
Я вернусь домой, чтобы остаться».
Не волнуйся.
Он возвращается в море
(разве ты не боишься?)
(Он возвращается)
О, не жди моряка,
Что бы он ни сказал,
Ты найдешь все его фразы
В любой старой пьесе.
О, не жди моряка
В океане жизни,
Будь с радостью его возлюбленной,
Но никогда его женой.
