The 1001 nights is an allusion to the collection of folk literature, which is a narrative that takes place over the course of an endless number of nights, and from which famous stories in the West such as Ali Baba and the 40 Thieves, Aladdin and others are taken. I guess the video is a performance by Nancy Ajram of the song, but don't worry I've supplied an audio of the real thing too.
Om Kalthoum - One Thousand and One Nights
My darling, the night and its sky
And its stars, moon, and the burning of its midnight oil
And you and I
My darling, my life
We are in love with each other
And love, ah love, sleepless love
It waters us with happiness and congratulates us
My darling let's live in the eyes of the night
And tell the Sun to come back after a year
Not before a year
This is a night of beautiful love in 1001 nights
In all our life, what is life except a night like tonight?
How can I describe to you my darling?
Before I loved you how was I?
I was not even thinking of yesterday
And I had no tomorrow to wait for or even a day to live
You took me with love when I had my eyes closed
And gave me sweet days with us in them until night
After estrangement had made peace boring
And the life that was a desert became an orchard
My darling, let's live in the eyes of the night
And tell the Sun to come back after a year
Not before a year
This is a night of sweet love in 1001 nights
In all our life, what is life except a night like tonight?
My darling what is more beautiful than the night and two like us living lost in each other
We weren't feeling that life was seconds or years
Feeling only that we love
Living only for the night and love
My darling love is our life, our home and our nourishment
The people have their world and we have ours
If they said something about us lovers they will melt in the fire of our desire
Has this fire hurt us?
Love in its love has never hurt anyone
Nor has its garden yielded anything but happiness and joy
My darling, let's live in the eyes of the night
And tell the Sun to come back after a year
Not before a year
This is a night of sweet love in 1001 nights
In all our life, what is life except a night like tonight?
Oh moon of my night, shadow of the day, my love, my days
The joy I have for you is more beautiful than a gift
The word love is with it
You rule the world and what's in it
And that delights you is the treasures of this world
Why tell her? Tell the bird, the tree, the people, the whole world
Say love is a blessing
Not a mistake, oh god, goodness is love
Light is love, oh lord, that remains the sweetness of the greeting of the first meeting in our hands
And joy is the first date lit with candles all around us
And time passes by us furnishing us with its security
Oh lord
No life when we drink of the bitter cup of separation
And love does not know our place and does not come to us
And instead of candles of joy we don't see our nights
My darling, let's live in the eyes of the night
And tell the Sun to come back after a year
Not before a year
This is a night of sweet love in 1001 nights
In all our life, what is life except a night like tonight?

أم كلثوم - ألف ليلة وليلة
يا حبيبي .. الليل وسماه .. ونجومه وقمره وسهره وإنت وأنا
يا حبيبي أنا .. يا حياتي أنا كلنا في الحب سوا
والهوى .. آه منه الهوىسهران الهوى
يسقينا الهنا .. ويقول بالهنايا حبيبي
يالله نعيش في عيون الليل ونقول للشمس تعالي بعد سنة
مش قبل سنةدي ليلة حب حلوه بألف ليلة وليلة
بكل العمر .. هو العمر إيه غير ليلة زي الليلة
إزاي أوصف لك يا حبيبي إزاي
قبل ما أحبك كنت إزاي كنت ولا امبارح فاكراه
ولا عندي بكره أستناه ولا حتى يومي عايشاه
خدتني بالحب في غمضة عين
وريتني حلاوة الأيام فينا لليل بعد ما كان غربة مليته أمان
والعمر اللي كان صحرا اصبح بستان
يا حبيبي .. يالله نعيش في عيون الليل
ونقول للشمس تعالي بعد سنة
مش قبل سنة ..دي ليلة حب حلوه بألف ليلة وليلة
بكل العمر .. هو العمر إيه غير ليلة زي الليلة
يا حبيبي إيه اجمل م الليل واتنين زينا عاشقين تايهين
ما احناش حاسين العمر ثواني والا سنين
حاسين اننا بنحب وبس
عايشين لليل والحب وبس
يا حبيبي الحب حياتنا وبيتنا وقوتنا
للناس دنيتهم واحنا لنا دنيتنا
وإن قالوا عن عشاقه بيدوبوا في نار أشواقه
أهي ناره دي جنتنا
الحب عمره ما جرح .. ولا عمر بستانه طرح غير الهنا وغير الفرح
يا حبيبي يالله نعيش في عيون الليل
ونقول للشمس تعالي بعد سنة
مش قبل سنةدي ليلة حب حلوه بألف ليلة وليلة
بكل العمر .. هو العمر إيه غير ليلة زي الليلة
يا قمر ليلي .. يا ظل نهاري .. يا حبي .. يا أيامي
الهنيةعندي لك أجمل هدية
كلمة الحب اللي بيها
تملك الدنيا وما فيها و اللي تفتح لك كنوز الدنيا ديه
قولها ليه قولها للطير .. للشجر .. للناس .. لكل الدنيا .. قول الحب نعمة
مش خطية الله محبة .. الخير محبة
النور محبة يا رب تفضل حلاوة سلام أول لقا في ايدينا
وفرح أول ميعاد منقاد شموع حو الينا
ويفوت علينا الزمان يفرش أمانه علينا
يا رب
لا عمر كاس الفراق المر يسقينا
ولا يعرف الحب مطرحنا ولا يجينا
وغير شموع الفرح ما تشوف ليالينا
يا حبيبي يالله نعيش في عيون الليل
ونقول للشمس تعالي بعد سنة
مش قبل سنةدي ليلة حب حلوه بألف ليلة وليلة
بكل العمر .. هو العمر إيه غير ليلة زي الليلة
