Ljaima likbira (The big haima)
I beg you
to preserve the harmony
in the centre of the immense
haima of my grandparents.
It is known for the generosity,
kindness and welcome
to strangers and neighbours
and always the pure inten on.
If I say the big haima
it implies
magnanimity, beginning, courage
and the full pride
and all the things already said by Mint Lmabruk,
mother and poet,
witness to her was Tiris,
land of poets,
and the Sahara people's history
in every detail
with wisdom, songs and words
of determined people.
Oh, God, amen.
