Peace
I thought we shared the same vision
But now I'm not sure anymore
I had a bad day full of surprises
At each glance, I can see my brothers,
My people, leaving their town, their country, Kidal
My brother, be careful, because one morning we could find
ourselves locked in a pen, with racist threats and fingers pointing
The world nowadays is so tiring, with wars all the time,
nowhere to hide and no escape possible to protect the elderly
and the children, who only need our help
A lot of tales can be told and others can't
A lot of Tamacheq proverbs tell the truth
What does not exist cannot be created
And cannot be found through envy or wishes.
Other than the Tamacheq from the desert,
Who are the roots of our race,
How many Tuareg are there today?
Some of them left and never came back
Others are dead and don't exist anymore
The remaining ones can be classified as five types:
The first ones are the rebels
The second ones, the poets
The third ones are discouraged of the Tuareg cause
The fourth ones just cling to life
The last ones are the bearers of lies
And worshipers of the word “project”
Dear brothers in blood,
What is this lack of communication for the common cause?
