*1 Original  ==[Original Edit ] == Heißer Sand was originally written by the German schlager writing duo Kurt Felz (text) and Werner Scharfenberger (music), and was a hit in 1962 in a version by theItalian singer Mina (Anna Maria Mazzini). In addition to the German language version [1] (in which the exoticism besides the use of the minor scale also was highlighted by her heavy Italian accent), she also brought versions in Spanish (Un Desierto, "the desert"), French (Notre étoile " our star "), and also in her mother tongue (Si lo so" yeah I know). ==Dutch versions [ edit ] == Johnny Hoes wrote a Dutch operation, and this was the first big hit for Anneke Grönloh. The number was in 1962 two weeks on the first place of the charts. The song is then also by Robbie rubber for retreading, asHeartburn. Henk Spaan and Harry Vermeegen brought in the 80's in theTELEVISION Pisa a disco version of the song to raised. ==Other versions [ edit ] == Anneke Grönloh in the DutchTELEVISION Grid in 1961Anneke Grönloh recorded the song also in English, with an entirely different text entitled Oh Malaysia. The Danish singer Grete Klitgaard took a version called Ørkensand, with a text by Robert Arnold. [2] Gert Timmerman had in 1970 a hit with Burning sand, which is a completely different song. Lesley Gore took in 1963 in a version like ' I would. " ==Story  == The song tells of the passion murder of some Rocco and the aftermath and theFLIGHT of the accused, Dino. [3] The text is mysterious and rather widely interpretable. The names of the three protagonists (Dino, Rocco and Nina)INDICATE that the story will begin in southern Italy . Rocco was the fiancée of Nina, but she was also coveted by Black Dino. After Rocco (strongly implied dead ) is found, Dino has to flee to a desert land . After an unhappy love affair expiredFLIGHTS to the Foreign Legion, that all sorts of nasty things in Franco in those days Algeria was doing was in the fifties and sixties a frequently recurring theme in popular literature. This phenomenon is in the title of the song with the burning sand (which of the Sahara ), interpreted, and also the "life full of danger" in the chorus can be seen as a reference to the legionnaires existence.Meanwhile Nina also is not well off, she finds a newJOB as a "dancer" in the port of Marseille, which can also be referred to an existence as a stripper or worse in the Marseilles underworld . The ultimate fate of Black Dino is left open; The sea sings its original position. ==Radio 2 Top 2000 [ edit ] ==
