Outlandish

Outlandish is a Danish hip-hop group with an international touch. Formed in 1997, it consists of Isam Bachiri (born in Denmark and of Moroccan background), Waqas Ali Qadri (born in Denmark and of Pakistani background), and Lenny Martinez (born in Honduras). All three members are religious, with Isam and Waqas being devout Muslims, and Lenny being at least nominally catholic.
Their R&B/Hip-hop/Rap/soul music takes influences from their various backgrounds (Arab, Pakistani, and Latin music), and although their songs are primarily in English, they usually feature lyrics in Spanish, Urdu, Arabic, and Danish. All these influences make the music of Outlandish somewhat unique and this is easy to notice from the variety of genres covered in their albums. Outlandish often include themes about Islam and contemporary issues facing young Muslims in the west in their music, and sometimes their songs define a nasheed-like unique genre. Last.fm
So sweet, so beautiful
Everyday like, queen on her throne
No, nobody knows how she feel
Aicha, Lady one day it'll be real
(Lets do it)

She moves, she moves like a breeze
I swear I can't get her out of my dreams
To have her shining right here by my side (shining like a star)
I'd sacrifice all them tears in my eyes
ohohohh

[Chorus]

Aicha Aicha - passing me by (there she go again)
Aicha Aicha - my my my (is it really real?)
Aicha Aicha - smile for me now (I don't know, I don't know)
Aicha Aicha - in my life (Yeah)

[Verse2]

Mmm, she holds her child to her heart
Makes her feel like she blessed from above
Falls asleep underneath her sweet tear
Lullaby fades away with his fear
ohh

[1/2Chorus]

Aicha Aicha - passing me by (there she go again)
Aicha Aicha - my my my (Like this, here we go)

[Bridge]

Needs somebody'lean on (lean on)
Someone body, mind & soul (body, mind & soul)
To take her hand, to take her world
Show her the time of her life, so true (true)
Throw the pain away for good
No more contemplating (boo) (No more contemplatin)
No more con.tem.pla.ting boohoho (aha)

[Verse3]

Lord knows the way she feel (I wonder)
Everyday in his name she begins
To have her shining here by my side
I'd sacrifice all them tears in my eyes
Ohh
Aicha Aicha - ecouté moi (Lets do this)

[Chorus]

Aicha Aicha - passing me by (there she go again)
Aicha Aicha - my my my
Aicha Aicha - smile for me now
Aicha Aicha - in my life (ohh)
Aicha Aicha - (there she go again)
Aicha Aicha - passing me by (one more time)
Aicha Aicha - (she don't know, she the light of my life, no she don't)
Aicha Aicha - (no she don't) (ohh)
