Lyrics of Dakar - Obrint Pas, Abdeljalil Kodssi (Nass Marrakech)

Dakar (original)

Al desert de la tristesa
A les dunes dels teus ulls
A les aigües dels riu Níger
Entre Bamako i Tumbuctú
Al rally de la vergonya
Al Llac Rosa de Dakar
A les tanques de Melilla
A les nits de Gibraltar
Africa al meu cor!
A les mans entrellaçades
A les nits sense salpar
En el fred de les mirades
En la pluja dins del mar
En la mort sense memòria
En la vida sense existir
Als matins de Barcelona
Als suburbis de París
No t’oblide, no t’oblide
En la vida i en la mort
No et vull perdre, no em vull perdre
En la tristesa del meu cor (x2)

(translation)

In the desert of sadness
In the dunes of your eyes
In the waters of the Niger River
Between Bamako and Timbuktu
In the rally of shame
In the Pink Lake of Dakar
In the fences of Melilla
In the nights of Gibraltar
Africa in my heart!
In clasped hands
At night without sailing
In the cold of the looks
In the rain in the sea
In death without memory
In life without existing
In the mornings of Barcelona
In the suburbs of Paris
Don't forget, don't forget
In life and in death
I don't want to lose you, I don't want to lose myself
In the sadness of my heart (x2)
