    "Aïcha" (/ˈʃə/; French: [a.iʃa]; Arabic: عائشة, ʿāʾisha, [ʕaːʔiʃa]; Algerian Arabic: عايشة) is a song written by French singer-songwriter Jean-Jacques Goldman, performed by Algerian raï artist Khaled. In 1996, the song was released as a single containing two versions: a French version and a bilingual version sung in both French and Arabic. The Arabic lyrics were written by Khaled. On his 1996 album Sahra, the bilingual version is featured. The song's music video, which also uses the mixed language version, was directed by Sarah Moon.[1][2]

    Lyrics / theme

    [edit]

    The song's lyrics are about a woman named Aïcha, who is being wooed by a man. He promises her pearls, jewels, poems, and other luxuries and romantic things, which she declines.

    The lyrics were all in French, as well as an Arabic verse sung by Khaled.
