The song tells the story of a fleeting love that lasted longer in memory than in reality. That love that only happens once and stays recorded forever. Thus, the artist travels to beaches, cities and goes around the world looking for everything that made her feel that ephemeral love. Although it also speaks of the feeling of that person who belongs to many points on the map: different accents and cultures.
ASHA -whose real name is Hajar Sbihi- composed Tourist in Mexico City three years ago, while creating music with people I hadn't worked with before. In them, he rediscovered the union of cultures and countries. Thus was born a theme that unites French, Spanish, Arabic and English.
After composing for artists such as Becky G, C. Tangana or Danna Paola, the artist of Moroccan origin faces her own adventure on stage with an innovative proposal as a contestant in this new edition of the RTVE space. Tourist will try to reach the top of the Benidorm Fest in the second semi-final, on February 12.
Tourist song lyrics
Oh my love j'ai cru te voir ce soir
La la la la
Your hidden silhouette
Facing the sea
seventeenth street
The flower and the ticket
Today they wonder where you are
I went to the southeast
and I ended up lost
like a tourist
And since you left La la la
You never came back La la la
You left me very sad La la la
like a tourist
Oh, mon chéri,
tell me yes
This still stands or c'est fini
You come around and let me go,
Don't play me like a domino
I've been feeling lonely
Every time you come, then you leave me
Baby eh, already habibi
Mchiti ou khlitini ghir bohdi
And since you left La la la
You never came back La la la
You left me very sad La la la
like a tourist
La la la
like a tourist
