lyrics

Awa Nihaney
Awa nihanay war infa iman
Ejer toumastine tabda tǝknass
Tǝtkar tettine s-inǝtawan
Fal anǝmmǝksan dja toumastine
Imetawan n-ilyadan
Imetawan ǝn tamgharen
D-imgharan idjraw manna

Awa Nihaney (Through our eyes)
What we see obtains nothing
In the midst of my people who are fighting
My eyes are full of tears
Because of the lack of love between my people
The tears of the youth
The tears of the elderly women
And of elderly men who are in poverty
