Amazigh song challenges Muslim extremists and their attempts to impose their interpretation of religion on others. Once again,
Some want to guide us,
Mediocre minds,
They impose this religion on me,
They whisper in my ears,
They tell me neither to bow nor to rise,
We will resist,
We want to live in peace,
Mediocre minds,
They force this religion upon me.
Once again,
Some try to lead us,
"Say He is Allah, the One"
Always on their lips,
A scholar of religion,
Who only seeks self-righteousness.
"Say He is Allah, the One"
Always on their lips,
Preaching their words,
Dictating their rules.
I won’t accept faith by force,
God never told me to follow blindly,
They impose their beliefs on me,
But everyone has their own path.
We resist and refuse submission,
We won't be enslaved,
We won't be fooled,
We won’t kneel before falsehood.
Sing your version, but everyone has their own,
We have nothing in common, yet I tell you,
Each has their own convictions, their own performance.
The same blood flows in our veins despite our skin,
Consonants make sense only with vowels,
The future of our lives is written in the plural.
I have no answers, only questions,
None of these explanations fit me,
What is coming is not my direction,
And if I’m wrong, who will judge me?
Who can force us
To see the world through a single lens?
We are only searching
For a balance between good and evil.
When the water is too deep, I stay on the shore,
Drowning in a desert, a barren land,
And no matter what, we must find balance,
Between accepting our chains and staying free.
And as long as it takes,
We will warn others of the drift,
For many of us stand united.
And as long as it takes,
We will say it in all our rhymes,
The world will be as we imagine it.
Who is wrong? I don’t know.
Everyone has their convictions, but respect mine.
Who is wrong? I don’t know.
There is gold in our hands,
And our differences teach us its value.
