Raqs Baladi

I dance in the color royal blue
with gold accent my body.
 I dance with my hips on the move,
and shake to give you a spell.

 I thrive to the desert beat,
and quake that you can't speak.
 The bangles on my wrist clings to the music.
my feet slides across the floor.

My hands wave through the air.
 My belly sways for you as my hips,
drops to the rhythm.
 the rattling of the chains and flying 
of my skirt.

 I belly dance for you,
and keep you in a daydream.
 I give you a show,
that you seek.

Let me dance with all of me.
