lyrics

In the bay of Barataria
Allah redeemed his vow
In the bay of Barataria
Hovering around

Amid the vivid flashes
The scowl of malefactors
Gliding, gliding, gliding
In a vessel

It was the Sultan's brother
Who fled the home of his maiden
She's dying, she's dying, she's dying
Under the date-tree

She's dying, she's dying, she's dying
Under the date tree

On the corner of Orleans,
The shallow earth was raised
In a garden, a garden, a garden
That the earth made
