There's no, there's no water on the desert
and the camels don't want to go any farther
I don't have strength to crawl more
Oh, I want to drink so much
To drink
Our caravan is sinking in the sand
it's drowning in it like a hundred-tonne boat
Our bandmaster is looking at us closely
his dirty hair is standing like a wire
Our bandmaster is drinking old wine
I can see a wild gleam in his eyes
He got drunk exactly as a pig
and he is beating our bottoms with a whip
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
The desert is sucking us from head to heels
It is burning our eyes, it dries our bodies and blood
And only trach, trach, trach
The sand is scrunching in our teeth
The sun tans the bellies
The wind is tugging our clothes
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
Only sand
Dry sand
Only sand
Dry sand
Only...
Sand
Dry, dry, dry
There's no, there's no water in the desert
And still there's a long way to go
Whose punishment is this, whose fault
that we have been crawling so many years?
Our bandmaster is drinking old wine
I can see a wild gleam in his eyes
He got drunk exactly as a pig
and he is beating our bottoms with a whip
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
The desert is sucking us from head to heels
It is burning our eyes, it dries our bodies and blood
And only tra, tra, tra
The sand is scrunching in our teeth
The sun tans the bellies
The wind is tugging our clothes
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
La la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
