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,
She went in the bush one night to meet a man
One day she started to scream at night
She wears her gold and she detaches her jewelry
She is sick with shame.
But I also saw the metamorphosis of 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 titagaztu dagh adou
timillay n echen net tikna aballizi
Nak assofa ibah maday shimakaten
iltaghnen tassanin, imanin tizalaben
