Tenere Taqqim Tossam
Tenere ti nin
Tenere nekkim
Taqqim tafuk tedu
Teyyed fel shinawan ashni
Itissed ehad hi tismesti
Teyyed fel shinawan ashni
Tenere tekkus akan aman nes
Aman iman
Dagh aytman ghred tendam
S tenere taqqim tossam
Aghregh yallah kay s ammaqqar
Ayyetkalan tumast tartay
Oh, Tenere!
You jealous desert
Why can't you see
You are a treasure
I've seen the world
I love you better
Oh, Tenere!
You are the treasure
Of my soul
Dagh aytman ghred tendam
S tenere taqqim tossam
(bis)
Aghregh yallah kay s ammaqqar
Ayyetkalan tumast tartay

The desert is mine
Tenere, my homeland
We come to you when the sun goes down
Leaving a trail of blood across the sky
Which the black night wipes out
The desert is hot
And its water hard to find
Water is life and soul
To all my brothers I say
The desert is jealous!
Oh, Tenere!
A jealous desert
Why can't you see
You are a treasure
I've seen the world
I love you better
Oh, Tenere!
You are the treasure
Of my soul
I cry out to God on High
To bring together my people
In unity
Tenere nekkim
Taqqim tafuk tedu
Teyyed fel shinawan ashni
Itissed ehad hi tismesti
Teyyed fel shinawan ashni
Tenere tekkus akan aman nes
Aman iman
Dagh aytman ghred tendam
S tenere taqqim tossam
Aghregh yallah kay s ammaqqar
Ayyetkalan tumast tartay
Oh, Tenere!
You jealous desert
Why can't you see
You are a treasure
I've seen the world
I love you better
Oh, Tenere!
You are the treasure
Of my soul
Dagh aytman ghred tendam
S tenere taqqim tossam
(bis)
Aghregh yallah kay s ammaqqar
Ayyetkalan tumast tartay
