Dey (Arabic: داي, from Turkish Dayı ) was the title given to the rulers of the Regency of Algiers (Algeria) and Tripoli under the Ottoman Empire from 1671 onwards. Twenty-nine deys held office from the establishment of the deylicate in Algeria until the French conquest in 1830.
The dey was chosen by local civilian, military, and religious leaders to govern for life and ruled with a high degree of autonomy from the Ottoman sultan. The main sources of his revenues were taxes on the agricultural population, religious tributes, and protection payments rendered by Corsairs, regarded as pirates who preyed on Mediterranean shipping.
The dey was assisted in governing by a divan (ديوان) made up of the Chiefs of the Army and Navy, the Director of Shipping, the Treasurer-General and the Collector of Tributes.
The realm of the dey of Alger was divided into three provinces (Constantine, Titteri and Mascara), each of which was administered by a bey (باي) whom he appointed.
The rule of the deys of Alger came to an end on 5 July 1830, when Hussein Dey (1765–1838) surrendered to invading French forces.
And I miss you,
Like the deserts miss the rain,
I miss you
{Oh I miss you}
And I miss you
Like the deserts miss the rain
I miss you, I miss you, I miss you
Without you I'd never make it
I never been to proud to say it
Never been to proud to say I'd die for ya
Time is passin oh I'm missin that
All because I ain't listen and give ya back
What you needed confused it for weakness
Could'ntfeel defeated pretend that I ain't see it
Ma I was happy as hell when me met and chilled
Feelin like I played my self when you left
For real
I let you leave
And now I'm all alone
Where did we go wrong?
We coulda made it work
But I set you free
And now you won't come home
It's been way to long
And I thought I could controll my feelins
I'm finding it so hard to live without your kiss
You made it so hard
I'm fallin apart {Oh yea}
And it would be a mistike to let it fade away like this {uh huh}
When I was so strong {yea}
But I can't hold on
And I miss you,
Like the deserts miss the rain,

I miss seein more this can't be it, I need you to show I miss bein...
And I miss you
Like the deserts miss the rain
I miss you
I miss seein more this can't be it, I need you to show I miss bein...
I let you breathe
I thought we needed space
But that wasn't the case
It only made it worse
It's the fight in me
It won't let you escape
I hope it's not to late
I'm tryin to controll my feelins
I'm finding it so hard to live without your kiss
You made it so hard
I'm fallin apart {And it would be a mistake}
And it would be a mistike to let it fade away like this {when I}
When I was so strong
But I can't hold on
And I miss you, {like the desert}
Like the deserts miss the rain,
