Tamadroyt tamayawt edey nes wan tallaq
Eqqal tafarawt adagh nes tassalat
Nak akal in Timyawin timtaghen tedjedawin

Nak akal in Afara d $$#amalmal d $$#awa
Addawanagh Tarawant neghres fell as tadawalt
Ad andowagh tegherit har as tissel Tessalit


How I miss Tameyawt
His walls are baked of earth

His village has turned green again
And his mountain boulders are smooth and long
My homeland is Timyawin

Timetren to the opposite mountain slope
My country is Afara
And the wells at $$#amalmal and $$#awa

I'll climb the mountain of Tarawant
And sacrifice a beautiful young goat up there
I'll utter a joyful cry that will be heard

All the way to Tessalit.
