lyrics

Mahedjan man yǝr qalwaqqan
War n’ǝla assagh d’awa arhan

ǝllanant kannand imǝzzǝzziran
Tiwayan derhan s’abba attǝyyan

Isaksantan it tilla arhan
Warlǝn ittous sal ad-tawǝdan

Ittous n’anagh assǝrǝss n’aghad
Kountǝn n’ǝglay ati n’awǝd

How can the soul face all those
times it did not know how to reach for something to comfort it?

Nothing but difficult moments following one another
taking with them our dearest dreams that we cannot give up

My ambition makes me give up all my desires
Success has become my only objective

Any goal we pursue with zeal and sincerity
will be achieved as long as we have sincere intentions
