Lyrics
Verse 1
Adrar i d-issar, aman i d-issar
Teghagh n talwit, iman i d-issar
Under the stars where the wind speaks free,
Echoes of our hearts calling you and me.
Pre-Chorus
Assouf n tezri, assouf n tiziri
Yan n wad n tislit, yan n wad n tiziri
In the desert‘s breath we find our truth,
Every step forward, the rhythm of youth.
Chorus
Talwit n tmazgha, iman iman
Dance with the night until morning light,
Where the dunes move slow and the soul takes flight.
Teghagh d akal, iman iman
Feel the heartbeat of land and sky —
We rise, we shine, we never say goodbye.
Verse 2
Akal n wass, iman n wass
Ul i d-ttwagan, i d-ttwagan wass
Through the golden heat, through silent sand,
We walk as one, hand in hand.
Bridge (Soft Chant)
Assouf… aman… iman…
Assouf… aman… iman…
Hear the call of the distant drum,
Let our voices rise as one.
Final Chorus
Talwit n tmazgha, iman iman
Tonight we sing where the stars align,
Melodies buried deep in time.
Teghagh d akal, iman iman
Under endless sky and shifting sand,
We are the song of this ancient land.
