Tlemcen (Berber: Tlemsan or Třemsan; Algerian Arabic: تْلمسان, Tlemsan; Arabic: تلمسان Tilimsān) is a city in north-western Algeria, and the capital of the province of the same name. The city has developed leather, carpet, and textile industries, which it ships to the port of Rashgun for export. It had a population of 140,158 at the 2008 census, while the province had 949,135 inhabitants.
The origin of the name Tlemcen (Berber and Algerian Arabic: Tlemsan) is uncertain, but the word has a Berber structure. One theory traces the name to the Berber words Tala Imsan which means "the dry spring". The name is sometimes spelled Tlemsen, Tlemsan, or Tilimsen.
The town is the ancient capital of central Maghreb, and was founded by the local Berbers.
Its centuries of rich history and culture have made the city a center of a unique blend of music and art. Its textiles and handcrafts, its elegant blend of Berber and Arab-Andalusian cultures, and its cool climate in the mountains have made it an important center of tourism in Algeria. It is home to a beautiful tomb - that of Sidi Boumédiène, whose tomb adjoins to a mosque. The Great Mosque at Tlemcen was completed in 1136 and is said to be the most remarkable remaining example of Almoravid architecture.
Fresh scrubbed hot off the bus dressed up and feeling good
Eyes full of stars a heart full of dreams Daisy Mae in Hollywood
Struttin' down the boulevard the walkway of the stars
With a vision of her name in lights reflecting off the cars
And dreaming of a white limozeen she wants to have a white limozeen
Well the days to come were long and dark and the nights were hard and cold
She met the devil in the City of Angels but she never lost her soul
She kept her dreams close to her heart like a family photograph
She cried sometimes and died sometimes but still she knows how to laugh
Dreaming of a white limozeen dreaming of a white limozeen
Now she's a living her dreams like a movie queen
Diamond rings and all things good
From the breadlines to the headlines she's the toast of Hollywood

(White limozeen white limozeen)
Now she's really ridin' high she's a woman of the world
But deep inside she never changed she's the same old downhome girl
And when the airplane brings the kinfolk to visit for awhile
There's a friendly guy in a red bowtie to take 'em around in style
He drives 'em in a white limozeen she finally got a white limozeen
Now she's a living her dreams like a movie queen...
