[TINARIWEN]
_Friends,_
_See what has befallen you._
_You’re scattered across_
_So many different lands_
_That you barely exist._
_Have you forgotten your sisters,_
_Who you left behind,_
_Living under a hellish tyranny_
_That scalds every living heart?_
_This life is ever-changing,_
_And it prowls around those_
_Who are still alive._

[JOSÉ GONZÁLEZ]
_Don’t forget your sisters_
_Nor the mothers nor the daughters_
_With eyes cast to the ground_
_Sharing the same sky_

_Friends, lift your gaze_
_What are our chains?_
_Asking who we are_
_Sailing under the same sun_

_Looking at the same sky_
_Sailing under the same sun_
_Looking at the same sky_
_We live under the same sun_

_Asking who we are_
_Living under the same sun_
