lyrics

I prefer death
or embers stuck to my heart
or that my soul will be torn apart
that it will be said in my community that I committed adultery.
My best friend among women,
One day she started
to call out at night
She wears her gold and then she removes her jewelry
She is sick with shame.
But I’ve seen even stranger
things in the desert,
I saw a beautiful woman
married to a broken man.
Her hand is in his hand and she walks through the community
She has a yellow skin that protects
her from the wind
The whiteness of
her teeth are bright.
I prefer death
or embers stuck to my heart
or that my soul will be torn apart.

Nak assofa ibah maday shimakaten
iltaghnen tassanin, imanin tizalaben adikal dagh orchan
As nak egharaben
Adar n tamiditin dagh tadoden
Afawtadou trigrag adawane
tikan uragh net takass shizabaten
takass shizabaten n tifasu shinitain
Michan nak inaya imatti n ténéré
Inaya akhshoud n tallillite ittaf
awunan
titaf afouss net tallil tamatay
tarwak n ellam net adzimila titagaz-
tu dagh adou
timillay n echen net tikna aballizi
Nak assofa ibah maday shimakaten
iltaghnen tassanin, imanin tizalaben
