"I treni di Tozeur" ("The trains of Tozeur") is an Italian song, written by Franco Battiato, Rosario "Saro" Cosentino [it] and Giusto Pio. It was the Italian entry in the Eurovision Song Contest 1984, performed in Italian (with some lyrics in German) by Alice and Battiato.
In a studio version sung only by Battiato, the song was later to be included on his album Mondi lontanissimi (1985) and was subsequently also recorded in English and Spanish language versions as "The Trains of Tozeur" and "Los trenes de Tozeur" and featured on the albums Echoes of Sufi Dances and Ecos de Danzas Sufi respectively. In 1994 Battiato recorded an interpretation of the song with a symphony orchestra for his live album Unprotected.
Alice also recorded solo versions of the song, included on albums Elisir (1987) and Personal Jukebox (1999), the latter featuring strings by the London Session Orchestra, arranged and conducted by Gavyn Wright. The original 1984 duet version of the song features on the 2005 career retrospective Studio Collection, in effect making its debut on an Alice album twenty-one years after its recording.
