Man tagut d’iwin aman ?

Han dunit ur tgi elhna
Dunit ad tga tawala

L’agriculteur a décidé de ne plus cultiver sa terre
Il a prévu des signes de mauvais temps
La terre est desséchée
On a que les mauvaise récoltes
Les récoltes que nous souhaitons ne sont plus là
Quelle averse nous ramènera l’eau ?
Pour irriguer notre terre
Nous rendre heureux
Ce monde n’est plus sur
Ce monde n’est qu’un tour de rôle
--- (English)
The farmer has decided to stop cultivating his land
He has foreseen signs of bad weather
The land is dried up
We have only bad crops
The crops we want are no longer there
What rainfall will bring us water ?
To irrigate our land
To make us happy
This world is no longer safe
This world is only a turn
