Imidiwan Takyadam – feat. José González Lyrics by Tinariwen
(Feat. José González)
Friends,
See what has befallen you.
You’re scattered across
So many different lands
That you barely exist.
Have you forgotten your sisters,
Who you left behind,
Living under a hellish tyranny
That scalds every living heart?
This life is ever-changing,
And it prowls around those
Who are still alive.
Don’t forget your sisters
Nor the mothers nor the daughters
With eyes cast to the ground
Sharing the same sky
Friends, lift your gaze
What are our chains?
Asking who we are
Sailing under the same sun
Looking at the same sky
Sailing under the same sun
Looking at the same sky
We live under the same sun
Asking who we are
Living under the same sun
