marika

[constantine]

have you seen marika dance
do it when you get the chance
when she dances tsifteteli
you can feel it in your belly
castanets and tambourine
such a smile you've never seen
what's the rush
hey! what's the hurry
forget your troubles and your worries
close your book and damn the preacher
let marika be the teacher

have you heard marika sing
it's a most peculiar thing
devils dance and lightning flashes
on the curl of her eyelashes
santouri and violin
man was made to live in sin
smash the plate
and hurl the glasses
everyday your life it passes
close your book and damn the preacher
let marika be the teacher

have you seen marika smile
it will happen in a while
prepare to have your heart unbroken
all the words you’ve left unspoken
and the passion of your dreams
rises from your heart like steam
pull the shade
and draw the curtains
paradise will now be certain
close your book and damn the preacher
let marika be the teacher

I enjoyed this as well.

such a smile you've never seen

have you seen marika smile

These two parts threw me though. I'm not saying it's a mistake, it just struck me as off-balance. Maybe that's the way you wanted to go.

thanks yejun. i see what you are saying, but i'll probably let it ride.
