French:

Mes frères je connais notre situation : la division et l’exil qui nous affectent dans le désordre et un manque d‘organisation que nous ne pouvons surmonter
Nous avons abandonné le désert (Ténéré), notre chère patrie, les ennemis disent qu’elle ne nous appartient pas
L’exil et la division nous éloignent de nos terres, le désert notre espace vital ancestral
Mes frères je connais notre situation : la division et l’exil qui nous affectent dans le désordre et un manque d‘organisation que nous ne pouvons surmonter
Nous sommes loin d’acquérir nos droits et notre liberté, tout ce que vous voyez n’est que mensonge
Le désert est notre terre, notre culture est notre identité, seule l’union peut nous permettre de les défendre

English:

My brothers, I know our situation: the division and the exile that affect us in disorder and a lack of organization that we cannot overcome.
We have abandoned the desert (Ténéré), our dear homeland, the enemies say it does not belong to us
Exile and division take us away from our lands, the desert our ancestral living space
My brothers, I know our situation: the division and the exile that affect us in disorder and a lack of organization that we cannot overcome.
We are far from acquiring our rights and our freedom, all you see is a lie
The desert is our land, our culture is our identity, only union can allow us to defend them

fuck the low voters - solid 8 for this groover
I knew this was Bombino in the first few bars.  Unmistakeable sound.  The guitar work is superb.
That Tuareg groove is hypnotic,, draws me in and I certainly want to stay here for some time.
great
