Accompaniment by James Pitt-Payne:
Lyrics
Allah! Allah!
I kneel to you in sorrow
Allah! Bless me
My lover bids me go
Chorus
Algiers, Algiers
It breaks my heart to say goodbye
A spirit far away is calling
As oriental shades are falling
My tears, Algiers
Hold back the things I strive to say
Forgive, forget
Who knows I may return some day
Sung here by Vancha March:
