Sahara [Arabic translation]

Sahara

Older than all the ages

Sahara

Wiser than all the sages

Teach me to read your history

Holding me with your mystery

Deep desert

Into your heart I’m driftin’

Dark clouds are slowly liftin’

I see I brighter dawn

Deep desert

Heavy with care you found me

Now you put arms around me

Making me part of you

I’m finding a new world

Far from my native land

I buried my old world

In your shifting sands

Oh, deep desert

Now I know where my place is

Here in your silent spaces

This is my home

Deep desert

• Artist:Paul Robeson
