IMIDIWAN MA TENMAN	WHAT HAVE YOU GOT TO SAY MY FRIENDS?
Imidiwan ma tennam dagh awa dagh enha semmen Tenere den tas-tennam enta dagh wam toyyam teglam Aqqalanagh aljihalat tamattem dagh illa assahat Tenere den tossamat lat medden eha sahat Aksan kallan s tandallat taqqal enta tisharat Aqqalanagh aljihalat tamattem dagh assahat	What have you got to say, my friends About this painful time we’re living through? You’ve left this desert where you say you were born, You’ve gone and abandoned it We live in ignorance and it holds all the power The desert is jealous and its men are strong While it’s drying up, green lands exist elsewhere We live in ignorance And it holds all the power
