SAHARA
Eemeli Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

On Saharassa maa hehkumassa
Ei missään tulisempi
Voi olla mainen lempi
Kuin Saharassa

On hiekka kuumaa
On lemmen huumaa
On onnen aavistusta
Ja keitaan kangastusta
Vain Saharassa

Kun saavut Afrikkaan
Kun kuljet Saharaan
Niin silloin nähdä saat
Sä oudot ihmemaat
Kun saavut,
Kun saavut Afrikkaan

On Saharassa maa hehkumassa
Ei missään tulisempi
Voi olla mainen lempi
Kuin Saharassa

On hiekka kuumaa
On lemmen huumaa
On onnen aavistusta




Ja keitaan kangastusta
Vain Saharassa
