Lyrics
Un homme des sables
Des plaines sans arbres s’en va de son pays
Au-dela des dunes courir la fortune
Car le Paradis pour lui
Ce n’est qu’un jardin sous la pluie
Salma ya salama
Je te salue ya salama
Salma ya salama
Je reviendrai bessalama
Mais l’homme des sables
Pour faire le voyage n’a que l’espoir au coeur
Un jour il arrive il touche la rive
Il voit devant lui des fleurs
La grande riviere du bonheur
Salma ya salama
Je te salue ya salama
Salma ya salama
Je reviendrai bessalama
C’etait un mirage
Il n’y avait pas de riviere
Et la bonne et riche et douce terre n’etait que du sable
Il reprend sa course vers une autre source
Il finira pas trouver le puits de la liberte
Salma ya salama
Je te salue ya salama
Salma ya salama
je reviendrai bessalama
Un homme des sables
Des plaines sans arbres s’en va de son pays
Au-dela des dunes courir la fortune
Le seul paradis pour lui c’etait un jardin sous la pluie
Salma ya salama
Je te salue ya salama
Salma ya salama
Je reviendrai bessalama
Salma ya salama
je te salue ya salama
Salma ya salama
je reviendrai bessalama
Lyrics translation
A man of the sands
Treeless plains leaves his country
Beyond the dunes run the fortune
For heaven for him
It's just a garden in the rain
Salma ya salama
I salute ya salama
Salma ya salama
I'll be back bessalama
But the man of the sands
To make the journey has only hope at heart
One day he arrives he touches the shore
He sees flowers in front of him
The Great River of happiness
Salma ya salama
I salute ya salama
Salma ya salama
I'll be back bessalama
It was a mirage
There was no river
And the good and rich and sweet land was nothing but sand
He resumes his race to another source
He won't end up finding the well of freedom
Salma ya salama
I salute ya salama
Salma ya salama
I'll be back bessalama
A man of the sands
Treeless plains leaves his country
Beyond the dunes run the fortune
The only paradise for him was a garden in the rain
Salma ya salama
I salute ya salama
Salma ya salama
I'll be back bessalama
Salma ya salama
I salute ya salama
Salma ya salama
I'll be back bessalama
