Salma Ya Salama

A man of the sands
Treeless plains
Leaves his country
Beyond the dunes
Chasing fortune
Because heaven for him
It's just a garden in the rain

Salma ya salama
I greet you ya salama
Salma ya salama
I will come back bessalama

But the sandman
To make the trip
Has only hope in his 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 greet you ya salama
Salma ya salama
I will come back bessalama

It was a mirage
There was no river
And the good and rich and sweet earth
Was only sand
He resumes his race
Towards another source
He will eventually find the well of freedom

Salma ya salama
I greet you ya salama
Salma ya salama
I will come back bessalama

A man of the sands
Treeless plains
Leaves his country
Beyond the dunes
Chasing fortune
The only heaven for him
It was a garden in the rain

Salma ya salama
I greet you ya salama
Salma ya salama
I will come back bessalama

Salma ya salama
I greet you ya salama
Salma ya salama
I will come back bessalama
