The song's lyrics are about a woman named Aicha, who is being wooed by a man. He promises her pearls, jewels, poems, and other luxuries and romantic things, to which she replies:
Keep your treasures
I'm worth more than all that
A cage is a cage, even if it's made of gold
I want the same rights as you
And respect for each day
I don't want anything but love
Aïcha is the name of a French song written by the singer songwriter Jean-Jacques Goldman. The word Aïcha (عائشة) is an Arabic female name. The song’s original performer is the Algerian Raï artist Khaled. The original French single was never released in an album, though Khaled's 1996 album Sahra featured a bilingual version of the song sung in both French and Arabic. The Arabic lyrics for the bilingual version of the song are written by Khaled. Khaled's music video was directed by Sarah Moon[2].
In 2003, the Danish hip hop band, Outlandish, recorded and released an English version of the song Aicha which was included in their album "Bread & Barrels of Water". The song peaked at #2 in the Dutch Top 40 for 2 weeks.
