Lyrics

Ténéré sastanàqqàm
Indek tifut n- imidiwàn
Tiled tasnit, tiled achàkwa
Aynayàn wàràn issindjày
Tissanàd tabaràt 
S- àkkoz itran dàgh ichinnawàn
Chorus
Ténéré sastanàqqàm
Indek tifut n-imidiwàn
Tissanàd umàgh i-aman 
Dàgh-idàggàn wàràn anfalàl
Tissanàd asissinkàr 
Dat adu indid inkàr
Chorus
Ténéré sastanàqqàm 
Indek immik was mad nàrti
Nàkk d- kàmm wàr nànmàksàn
Nàkk idjodadàgh nilmàd tekle
Isikilàn djer ikallàn
Ténéré Ténéré 
Ténéré naghehàd-kàmm
Chorus
 
Ténéré, can you tell me 
of anything better
Than to have your friends 
and your mount,
And a brand new goatskin, 
watertight,
To find your way 
by the light
Of the four bright stars 
of heaven,
To know how 
to find water in 
The unlikeliest of places,
And enlist the momentum 
of the wind
To help you move forward. 
 
Tell me, Ténéré, 
how you and I
Can remain united, 
with no hate for each other. 
Ténéré, I can now admit that
I have travelled far through this wide world. 
Ténéré, I give you my oath
That as long as I’m alive,
I will always come back to you.
