Tongues of fire licked away my home.
Roars of guns smashed down the doors.
Run, my little boy, never look back.
Run, my brave boy, with your broken leg.
Run little boy!
Run my brave boy!

I walked through villages and towns,
begging for some water and a bowl of rice
I crossed the Cliffs of Bandiagara,
where the hands of men turn into Sahara.
Desert! All around me, I can see just
Desert! Deep inside me, I can feel just
Desert! All I used to be now it?s just
Desert! Drying my human needs.
And now I?m drowning down through sand and stones,
Emotional flashbacks are desertifying my soul.
I can hear those voices, I can feel my anguish growing.
I scream three times, the ghibli is still blowing.
Tinzaouaten, Tamanrasset, Tamdjert.
El Auenat, Ash Shwayrif, Zuwarah, bahr.

At last I can sleep again.
I?m rocked by the waves and I feel peaceful again.
Blue, my eyes see only blue,
our life is a lie, but I finally know the truth.
Death, how many people are dying around me now?
White men are jettisoning some extra cargo.
Me, will I ever see those European shores?
Or will I lie on this nice Mediterranean floor?
