I am a traveler in the lone desert
It's nothing special
I can stand the wind
I can stand the thirst
And the sun
I know how to go and walk
Until the setting of the sun
In the desert, flat and empty,
where nothing is given
My head is alert, awake
I have climbed up and climbed down
The mountains where I was born
I know in which caves the water is hidden
These worries are my friends
I'm always on familiar
terms with them and that
Gives birth to the stories of my life
You who are organized
assembled, walking together
Hand in hand, you're living
A path which is empty of meaning
In truth, you're all alone.
-Ibrahim Ag AlHabib (Tinariwen: Amassakoul)

Hola & muchisimas gracias!! Thanks a billion for the translation as it connects me even so more to the melody of Tinariwen... I no longer question "I wonder what they are saying? I am sure it is something beautiful & poetic though..." I was right!!! Merci bien! Adios from the So Bay, CA.
