Amassakoul 'N' Ténéré lyrics

THE TRAVELLER IN THE DESERT

I am a traveller 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 organised, assembled, walking together

Hand in hand, you're living

A path which is empty of meaning

In truth, you're all alone
