The desert is mine Tenere, my homeland, We come to you when the sun goes down Leaving a trail of blood across the sky Which the black night wipes out The desert is hot and its water hard to find Water is life and soul To all my brothers I say, the desert is jealous! O Tenere! A jealous desert! Why can‘t you see? You are a treasure I‘ve seen the world, I love you better Oh Tenere! You are the treasure of my soul. I cry out to God on High To bring my people together In unity

FAN for LIFE!!! There's not a whole lot of options for me when the PTSD I brought home from my military service ambushes my brain(the parts i still have left...👀)... Tinariwen's great music helps me refocus & recover from those nightmarish attacks. Much gratitude & love to them, & to the good people who put it here on KZfaq!!!🌟👏🏿👏🏼👏🌟

Jealous Desert - Tenere Taqhim Tossam The desert is mine Tenere, my homeland, we come to you when the sun goes down, leaving a trail of blood across the sky which the black night wipes out The desert is hot and its water hard to find water is life and soul To all my brothers I say, the desert is jealous! oh, Tenere! a jealous desert! why can't you see? you are a treasure! I've seen the world, I love you better oh, Tenere! you are the treasure of my soul. I cry out to God on High to bring my people together in unity

From Australia and one of our wonderful expansive radio stations played this extraordinary band. Instant shazam so i could hear more. Thankyou your amazing.

Africa is not a country, more than 50 nations and thousands of languages hence this enormous cultural diversity. Peace to world.

I'm Algerian Targui From Djanet Tassili N'azjjer Please Tinariwen Comback to Djanet ♥

I wish the world were a more simple place.... reminds me of how i felt about Arizona when i was little. I always loved the desert

أحبكم في الله مجموعة إبراهيم تيناروين .. أخوكم من المغرب من قلب قباءل أيت باعمران إقليم سيدي علي إيفني .

Music is the universal language. Good music is poetry.

I am New Orleanian (Louisiana, USA). Raised on all kinds of music. This is great! Love it!

Greeting from Tunisia to all our north african brothers and sisters, one day we shall all be united in Tamzgha.

These kind of songs don’t deserve a dislike 🙏 Come on people! come on!

believe it or not Tinariwen makes for a cozy groove here among the Redwoods in the heavy rain (at last) in California. Makes me want to buy back my Ibanez guitar. Never sell your guitar, never give up.

We are the Berbers ❤ I’m from Kabylia - Algérie, I’m speaking a different dialect but I understood all the lyrics it’s not so hard as I was thinking, I am so proud of being of yours, we are the native people of these North African Lands, our culture and language will be forever.

greeting from Serbia to all of you who like Tinariwen and this song

I live in Georgia, US. This song makes me actually long for an open stretch of desert, with naught buy the music of this band to guide me.

This is utterly fabulous especially as Tunde from TV on the Radio is sharing the vocal duties .

Big up from Morocco , to all Imazighen of north AFRICA the land of freedom TAMAZGHA , Always And Forever , We are Imazighen , we are North Africans , no borders btw us . United We stand

Une drogue cette musique 🤤 vive les amazigh ♓🇩🇿

Haunting and mystical, gives it a lot of traction, there's no getting away from this, once you start listening.

I’ve been to the Sahara and I can say that, indeed, it’s a treasure

I wish this song lasts more than 4:10 mins! I just can't get enough!

We are Algerian and we love tinariwen and all culture of Algeria 🇩🇿 so prod to be Algerian. Best song for me Lulla.Amidinin

Words can't describe how wonderfully glorious this music is...

Thank you to The Colbert Report for introducing this wonderful band to me nearly six years ago. Time flies!

these guys are a walking paradox, the desert is so hot and yet this is so god damn cool

I'm so glad I've discovered these guys. They are such amazing musicians and they are so authentic. Like the true dessert people they are, they invite you in. I've been there and can attest to the fact. I will go see them for sure if ever they come to my city. And I will be singing along and dancing the dervish dance. Al'humdillah

Cette musique est extraordinaire,elle fait apparaitre les sourires et fait danser les gens. Ce n'est pas sur les ondes radio de Montréal que je pourrais découvrir cette musique, merci KZfaq.

Teardrops on the sand, sunshine in my heart. Thank you.

Music pervading all barriers and boundaries

Priceless. Love&respect from Balkan Native.

I love this song and the whole atmosphere of the desert camp fires.

Wonderful ! Beautiful people of God's Earth coming together in love and joy for celebration with Music !

I had a holiday in Morocco & stayed with a berber family, I heard this music and have been hooked ever since. I am planning on future trips to Morocco, my favourite place to visit.

I was at their concert when they came to perform in Melbourne. I have waited to see them perform live for more than 10 years since I first listened to their tracks. Absolutely a delight. All the people in the concert hall were standing up and dancing at the end. :)

Thanks to Tinariwen for having the courage to share their music. Their lyrics and sound are perfectly in synch; it touches the soul.

the most beaufuliest song from Tinariwen ever ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

You are a treasure..

GOD BLESS NORTH AFRICA and it's people! Your moroccan brother.

Amazing! I love this song! It’s like I have known this song all my life.

Love all the way from Brazil!

تحية لي اهل الجنوب من الغرب نعم هاذهي الجزائر 💟💟💟

Vive imazighn , I am so proud of being Amazigh . your brother from Morocco "Amor n wakock " means land of god .

I am American. I am educated and understood the songs meaning. It was simply that I could relate a few of the English lyrics and inspire others to hear this beautiful tale in song. If I have offended anyone forgive me. We all come from different places. But I try to find similarities between us not differences. We need to educate each other not persecute for having worldwide language barriers or anything else. Namaste'

ياسلاااااااااااااام فن رائع و الحان تنبع من انين الصحراء . تنيرى اعرفها جيدا و سبق لى ان سافرت فى رمالها و التقيت سكانها و استمعت لنفس هذه الاغانى من التوارق اسياد الصحراء بدون منازع

Le grand Sud avec la splendeur de ses paysages et l'hospitalité de ses hommes.

They are great original people..Never its too much to listen to their performance.They always good.Salam my brothers.

official (translated) lyrics taken from the album's booklet: "The Desert is mine. Tenere, my homeland. We come to you when the sun goes down, leaving a trail of blood across the sky which the black night wipes out The desert is hot and its water hard to find Water is life and soul To all my brother i say, the desert is jealous!

I wanted to go to Timbuktu and Agadez so badly before the incursions following the Arab spring, which has unfortunately affected nothern Mali and Niger. Been a fan of Tinariwen since I was in secondary school. I'm also a big fan of Ali Farka Toure, Afel Bocoum, Imarhan( that is an excellent band)

i've loved tinarwiren over the years. saw them in portland oregon. i love this video especially, because i feel like i am there with them. they invite you in

Muito bom! Cumprimentos de Portugal! Gostei muito de ver-vos há 2 anos e meio em Sines (em 2010), no Festival Músicas do Mundo.
