Charlene & Natasha  -  Xita fid-Dezert (Desert Rain)

Country - Malta     Player- Deo

Inhares lejn it-triq
Biss ma nara xejn
Ghajr nida kiesha silg
Li tleqq matul il-lejl
Naf biss li ser intir
`Il boghod minn hdejk

Ma nhalli l-ebda hjiel
Ta' minn fejn ghaddejt
Se nilbes il-gwinhjan tal-liberta'
Bhal anglu ser intir b'serenita'

REF:
Par idejn tas-silg
Jaqbel ma tmissnix
Hsiebi ddawwarlix

Harstek aghar minn sejf
Ismek nghid li nsejt
Xita fid-Dezert

Hemm bzonn xi darba thoss
l-ugiegh ta' din il-qalb
Hemm bzonn tifhem li jien
Ghalik passat
Bhas-sepja tar-ritratt
Kuluri qatt

REF:
Par idejn tas-silg
Jaqbel ma tmissnix
Hsiebi ddawwarlix

Harstek aghar minn sejf
Ismek nghid li nsejt
Xita fid-Dezert

Xi darba bkejt id-dmugh
Il-qalb sofriet . . .

Xita fid-Dezert

Harstek aghar minn sejf
Ismek nghid li nsejt
Xita fid-Dezert
I look at distant roads
I can't see anything
But icy cold dew
Which shimmers all through the night
All I know is that I'll be flying
Away from you

I'll leave no trace
Of the road I took
I'll wear the wings of freedom
Just like an angel of serenity

REF:
A pair of glacial hands
I warn you – don't touch me
You won't change my mind

Your look cuts like a knife
I will forget your name
Jut like the Desert Rain

You ought to feel
The heartache
You ought to understand
That I belong to your past
You're like a sepia-photo
Without any colours

REF:
A pair of glacial hands
I warn you – don't touch me
You won't change my mind

Your look cuts like a knife
I will forget your name
Jut like the Desert Rain

Once I cried the tears
From a painful heart…

Desert Rain

REF:
A pair of glacial hands
I warn you – don't touch me
You won't change my mind

Your look cuts like a knife
I will forget your name
Jut like the Desert Rain

 

Player's comments: Singing sisters, Charlene & Natasha, are establishing themselves as one of the best Maltese acts for the last music year 2001/2.
They started the year 2002 off quite on a positive note, ranking third in the "People's Ode Song Contest" held in Malta earlier this year. The performed the song "Gieghltni Ntir" (You made me fly) lyrics by the older of the two Natasha to the music composed by the younger, Charlene.
In September they took part in the "Malta Independence Song Contest 2002" with two entries. Both "Nirien" (Fires) and "Sejjahtli, Sejjahtlek" (I called you, you called me) were composed by Charlene to lyrics by Deo Grech.
Charlene & Natasha were considered as the best acts of the night for their fully-choreographed performance. Soon "Sejjahtli, Sejjahtlek" was turned into a radio-hit on local radio stations and tipped by local music critics to be one of the best songs in Maltese for the past year.
The team behind the latest successes joined forces again and created "Xita fid-Dezert" (music: Charlene Grima;  lyrics: Deo Grech). This entry was one of the 12 entries which qualified to the finals of the Malta International Song Contest 2002, held on 26th October at the MCC, Valletta.
Their latest creation, "Xita fid-Dezert" (Desert Rain) is also the first Maltese entry for OSC.
