it's not necessarily a romantic song, but it is a heart felt love song.
The lyrics remind me somehow of an arabic classic song:
بالقلب خليني ( With the heart let me ) ع ايديك غفِّيني ( On your hands make me sleep ) يا حبيب الروح ( O the lover of my soul ) بالروح خبِّيني ( With your soul hide me )
مشتاقة اغمرني ( I miss that you immerse me ) حملني وطيِّرني ( Hold me and make me fly ) بساحات عشقاني ( In loving places ) الليل سـهِّرني ( The night made me stay up )
الليلي خدني بهالحلم وعلِّي ( This night , take me in this dream and fly high ) الليلي غير بحبك ما تقلِّي ( This night , don't say anything except I love you ) نسِّيني الكون وقلِّي ضلِّي ( Make me forget the universe , and tell me "stay" )
ولو داب شمع الليل حوالينا ( If the night's candles melt arround us ) ولو فاق كل الحب بعينينا ( And If all the love wakes up in our eyes ) قليِّ الدنيي لعبه بإيدينا ( Tell me that the world is a toy in our hands )
معقول شو بحبك ( Is it possible how much I love you ? ) معقول يا قلبك ( Is it possible , O your heart ? ) صحيح شو غريب ( How weird is .. ) إحساسي بحبك ( My feeling of your love )
شو كان أنا قلبي ( What would be my heart ) لولاك يا حبِّي ( without you , O my love ? ) كان شوك وهموم ( It would be thorns and worries ) وهالعمر كان غربي ( And this lifetime would be strangeness )

you seem so westernized in the way you speak. do you think in arabic or in english to yourself?
i listened to the link you posted and while i admit it was acceptable, i would not listen to it twice. also, it is composed musically in western scales, and not those weird arabic notes they use in the music on those loudspeakers that go beserk with prayer songs early in the morning over there.
"i wanted to f**k my camel, but i ate it up instead, and now i'm fat and happy, and it's skull can give me head".
what music would you put to that? it's kind of a love song in a way. just imagine bugling that one from the horribly distorted speakers on the roofs of the propaganda points.
when you want a stockpile of stones to be deposited on the street near you, you just give the people down the street the s**ts, and then you'll have heaps of stones to use for building and stuff.
let them be your quarry masters. they will go and collect rocks to hurl at you, and you thank them for every rock, and they are then angered even more and production increases.
sorry i am off topic badly.
so here is a song by an australian girl called "tina arena" who in my mind is brilliant to an extraordinary degree. she writes and performs many of her songs.
she is not pretty enough for american stardom, and so she is unknown there, and she lives in france now.
anyway this is a song she wrote that is exceptional.

Honestly....I have no idea what you are talking about or to what type of arabic music you are referring to, there are probably hundreds of different genres and schools of arabic music - like the western music (a classical music lover would find rapping as berserk music for example) ; you can check my previous videos (in previous pages) in this thread to get an idea.
I think in Arabic of course.
Oh btw, your country probably has more camels than mine, Lebanon has no desert, maybe I have seen a camel only twice in life with bedouin merchants on the borders.
