about

In Morocco and Algeria, you should be wary of Aïcha Qandisha, who can be seen as a hooved, beautiful woman in the night time.

lyrics

I am two worlds in one
I am dark and beautiful
Dancing on two heels
Sweeping you away
Into my world

(instrumental break)

In the night is when I walk
A hunger like you’ve never known
A taste for a specific something
A countess deserves
The best things

Stay away, away, away,
A blade of steel
Flee to escape
The fire fire fire
My weapon is my name
My beauty is your weakness

Lady of the Swamp

Je suis deux mondes en un seul
Belle, brune, les yeux foncés
Dansant double talonné
En te séduisant
Dans mon monde

(pause instrumental)

La nuit, je me balade
Avec une faim incroyable
J’ai le goût particulier
Comme comtesse
ça me vaut les meilleures choses

Va t’en, va t’en, va t’en,
Une lame d’acier
Le feu le feu la feu
Mon arme c’est mon nom
Ma beauté est ta faiblesse

La Dame du Marais
Moulat el Merja
