The Veiling PreVeils, by Gaia

Who am I?

Where is this life leading me?

High fever?

May be;

But the wedding must go on.

 

Duff [1] beating: deribik, deribik, deribik, da

Spiritual ritual

that's moving

Henna night.

Tattooed tender fingers,

is she ready - the bride?

 

The duff goes on beating teribit, teribit, teribit ta

A musician playing

electric guitar

In a galabiya [2] 

 

And I am crying out in solitude

Between the Changing Of The Masks:

Who am I?

Where do I belong?

The Dervishes go on spinning

Teribit, deribik, tra la la la!


[1] : A sort of hand held large drum, made of camel skin.

[2]: Arabic name of the long national dress men wear.
