Lyrics

Last night, when I dreamt about Tahalmoyt,

Of her elegant appearance, nonchalant at dusk

In the middle of the tents,

I grabbed hold of Ebazaw and harnessed my saddle to him,

Not any just old one; it belonged to Agadez.

I donned Alacho, my most beautiful indigo turban,

And my two boubou robes.

I replaced the bolt of my padlock.

I acted like a nobleman who doesn’t hide himself away

I perfumed myself with musk and incense

I belted myself with wool and silk

I passed through a valley where the Tihardanen* played.

They made me feel happy,

And I arrived at the camp above Timadjlalen.
