Quick guide on how to read the letter notes

how to read and play the letter notes
Each group of letter notes is played from left to right, and vertical letters on the same column are played together.

The numbers in front of each line are the octave, each octave has an unique color so you can easily follow them.

Lowercase (a b c d e f g) letters are natural notes (white keys, a.k.a A B C D E F G ).
Uppercase (A C D F G) letters are the sharp notes (black keys a.k.a. A# C# D# F# G#), look at the image below to see where each letter note is on the piano keyboard.

The lines / dashes (-) between letters indicates timing to play the notes. Just listen to the audio file at the top of the post to figure out the time lenght of the dashes (usually 5-6 dashes is about 1 second)

RH / LH means Right Hand / Left Hand and it's mostly for people who play the piano, it tells them with what hand to play the lines. Also, if you want to play a easy version of the song, playing only the RH lines does exactly that, because on most songs RH notes are for melody and LH notes are for bass.

  1. [Cheb Mami introduction (Algerian Arabic):]
    Ya lili ah ya leel

    Hadaee mada tawila
    Wa ana nahos ana wahala ghzalti
    Wa ana nahos ana wahala ghzalti
    Wa ana nahos ana wahala ghzalti

    [English:
    "Oh night oh night

    It has been a long time
    And I am looking for myself and my loved one
    And I am looking for myself and my loved one
    And I am looking for myself and my loved one"]

    I dream of rain
    I dream of gardens in the desert sand
    I wake in vain
    I dream of love as time runs through my hand

    I dream of fire
    Those dreams are tied to a horse that will never tire
    And in the flames
    Her shadows play in the shape of a man's desire

    This desert rose
    Each of her veils, a secret promise
    This desert flower
    No sweet perfume ever tortured me more than this

    And as she turns
    This way she moves in the logic of all my dreams
    This fire burns
    I realize that nothing's as it seems

    I dream of rain
    I dream of gardens in the desert sand
    I wake in vain
    I dream of love as time runs through my hand

    I dream of rain
    I lift my gaze to empty skies above
    I close my eyes
    This rare perfume is the sweet intoxication of her love

    [Cheb Mami (Algerian Arabic):]
    Aman aman aman
    Omry feek antia
    Ma ghair antia
    Ma ghair antia
    [English:]
    Aman aman aman
    My life is for you
    And no one other than you
    And no one other than you

    I dream of rain
    I dream of gardens in the desert sand
    I wake in vain
    I dream of love as time runs through my hand

    Sweet desert rose
    Each of her veils, a secret promise
    This desert flower
    No sweet perfume ever tortured me more than this

    Sweet desert rose
    This memory of Eden haunts us all
    This desert flower
    This rare perfume, is the sweet intoxication of the fall

    [Cheb Mami (Algerian Arabic):]
    Ya lili ah ya leel
    [English:
    "Oh night oh night"]
