Tamagit,

Issemgan !

L'identité,
Ton identité l'homme, est en montagne,
Elle est près de l'arganier et du Thuya et du Genévrier
Allons nous cultiver notre terre, arrosons la pour récolter,
Prenons soin de notre culture, soyons solidaire
Oh troubadours !
--- (English)
The identity,
Your identity, man, is in the mountains,
It is near the argan tree, the cedar and the juniper
Let us cultivate our land, let us water it to harvest,
Let us take care of our culture, let us be in solidarity
