Scheherazade this day is yours
Bearers of your gifts now all around you stand
Finest silk made in the land
Is waiting for your choice, it shimmers at your hand
Scheherazade your life is won, you have today the sultan's love
The people watch you step into the sun
Stalls and bars of every kind
Food piled high on woven leaves for all to eat
Drums and flutes at every turn
Music winding twisting through the crowded streets
Caravans from far away bring people laughing
People come to see the sultan in Baghdad today
Scheherazade her name is known
Her tale is told, the sultan let her life be spared
The festival begins this day
To celebrate her fame the people sing her praise
Stories sung, the crowds are dancing
To the music and the entertainment, all the voices sing
The people call to see the king
The sultan smiles, his story just begun
The sultan and Scheherazade are one
Scheherazade, Scheherazade
Told him tales of sultans
And talismans and rings
A thousand and one nights she sang
To entertain her king she sings
