Here are the lyrics in Tamashek, French and English:
Track 2 on the March 2014 release - Akal Warled / Un pays étranger / A Strange Country
available here: http://www.forcedexposure.com/Catalog/CLE.008CD.html
This title refers to the issue of exile and its penalties. The song speaks of the suffering of the Tuareg, repeatedly refugees in Mauritania, Niger, Burkina Faso and Algeria, due to the cyclic armed conflict in their regions of northern Mali.

A country that is not yours is bitter  
It brings relentless depression to the soul 
They want to go home from where they came 
This country dries me out inside
My spirit and heart despair 
A country that is not yours is bitter  
It brings relentless depression to the soul
They want to go home from where they came 
Saharans Fighters, I implore you 
Speak with one voice
Unify this Revolution
A country that is not yours is bitter 
It brings relentless depression to the soul
They want to go home from where they came

This is what Beirut sounded like to me, at least when planes from the state at the south were not crossing the sky to terrorize the people, when I went to the city to make a documentary about the port blast in 2020.

5. Nitasoles 15.0

Kel Assouf returns with a second album that overwhelms the current Tuareg scene. Anana Harouna and his new team embark alongside Led Zeppelin and current rockmusic and delivers a tradi-modern / hyper-modern sound.
