Woke up into a dream
And I was walking
Up and down the streets
Of Cairo
And then I heard a voice
That said I know you
It's time for you to turn
And face me
Her hair was long
Her eyes reached out and touched me
She said I know just
What it is you're after
Death is all around you
So you look for freedom
I know where to find it
Let's go to the river
We sailed upon the Nile
I was enchanted
By the beauty in her magic
She showed me that my fears were unimportant
And then she touched me
With her vision
Her skin was dark
Her voice was liquid fire
She said I am your mate
And soul's desire
Love is all around you
Light is deep within you
Life is always flowing
Let's go down the river
The lyrics THE NILE of SANTANA is also present in the album Shango (1982)
Santana è un gruppo musicale statunitense fondato dal chitarrista messicano Carlos Santana, considerato uno dei più grandi chitarristi di tutti i tempi. Il genere musicale del gruppo è principalmente rock con influenze latine. Carlos Santana è nato ad Autlán de Navarro, Jalisco, in Messico, e si trasferì a Tijuana con la sua famiglia. Qui imparò a suonare musica dal padre, che faceva parte di un gruppo mariachi. Le sue influenze musicali furono i bluesman degli anni '50 e '60 e i rocker. Tijuana fu il suo terreno d'addestramento iniziale, suonando in cantine e perfezionando le sue abilità. Dopo essersi trasferito negli Stati Uniti con la famiglia, Santana si stabilì nella Baia di San Francisco, dove formò The Santana Blues Band, che poi divenne semplicemente Santana. Il gruppo ha raggiunto il successo internazionale negli anni '70 con album come *Abraxas* (1970) e *Santana III* (1971), caratterizzati da un sound psichedelico e fusion di rock, jazz e musica latina. Alcuni dei brani più rappresentativi del gruppo sono: "Black Magic Woman", "Oye Como Va", "Smooth" (in collaborazione con Rob Thomas).
