Ensemble Ibn Arabi - Leïla a pris ma raison

From Chants soufis arabo-andalous (2003), track seven. The French title echoes the Arabic “Leila has taken my reason,” and in the shadows wait Qays and Majnun—the beloved’s absence turning sanity into something you almost want to lose. The song just keeps repeating the claim until you start to buy it.
