Akken-i, lhem ar ad a-s inghes
But rope binds me, I cannot escape
M’ar a-s ghligh degw rebbi
Only God can untie it for me
Y-a t Tstsu ig-g dhran yidhes
While I wait, my heart longs for the peace of my homeland
A-Kker-t a-n’ruh ya a-n’ruh
Oh soul of mine, my dear soul
Ulamma ikkat w’adfel
No matter how far I travel
A-Dd n zurr Ccix muhend a-y amghar
I will always look towards the Atlas Mountains, oh stranger
A-y usad w’i-t hemmel
And towards my dreams
Ulamma tekkat Lehwa
No matter how long I spend in misery
Ar-k n’zurr A Ccix muhend a-y amghar
I will always look towards the Atlas Mountains, oh stranger
Yussa-d d-i lehna
One day, I will return to my land
