Inshallah

This fun choreography to the music of a Tunisian pop singer, Latifa  is created for Intermediate level belly dancers. 
"Inshallah" means" hopefully" is arabic, litteral translation is " if God wills".

The lirics of this song is very beautiful:

Hopefully you will come back to me
Hopefully your heart is mine
How long, tell me, can you hope to do without me?
Me, your beloved?
You act proud like a matador
But our love will be the strongest
You're gone without a glance
In order to avoid my crazed eyes
Will you come back to the light?
Hopefully, it is my prayer
Who else will give you her soul and her heart
Without counting
Who will know how to read all your desires on your face, even the least proper?
Oh remember your promises, your oaths, your feelings
Keep in your memory the sweet perfume of our history
