"Sharazan" is a song by Italian duo Al Bano and Romina Power, released in 1981. It was an international commercial success and remains one of their best-known hits.
They are told to say that Sharazan means "Dreamland", what would fit to the Italian text.
There is a German Cover by Marco Bakker, the meaning there is the name of a girl in a far, probably Arabic country ("Rose im Wüstensand").
Another cover named "Parmesan", by a satirical Czech band "Triky a pověry" (meaning "Tricks And Superstitions", a name that sounds like Ricchi e Poveri: the band produced a dozen of parodies of Italian hits), stated that "parmesan is spread on bread". https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gf8gmcJvHXY&t=2m8s
