Salma Ya Salama

A man from the sandy plains without trees
Leaves his country
Beyond the dunes, chasing fortune
For paradise to him is just a garden in the rain
Salma ya salama, I greet you, oh safety
Salma ya salama, I will return in safety

But the man from the sands, to make the journey
Only has hope in his heart
One day he arrives, he touches the shore
He sees flowers before him, the great river of happiness

Salma ya salama, I greet you, oh safety
Salma ya salama, I will return in safety

It was a mirage, there was no river
And the good, rich, and sweet land was only sand
He resumes his journey towards another source
He will eventually find the well of freedom

Salma ya salama, I greet you, oh safety
Salma ya salama, I will return in safety

A man from the sandy plains without trees
Leaves his country
Beyond the dunes, chasing fortune
The only paradise for him
Was a garden in the rain

Salma ya salama, I greet you, oh safety
Salma ya salama, I will return in safety
Salma ya salama, I greet you, oh safety
Salma ya salama, I will return in safety
