All these pictures in your coat
That you look at without saying a word
Of an Algeria
Full of carefreeness
So many lights and the smell of childhood

The plane will soon land
You hide your tears in a smile
How old was I?
Barely three years old
And here we are
Both of us in Tlemcen

Yes, I'm coming back
Where I left
A piece of hidden heart
Where I was born
Yes, I'm coming back
As we had promised
As you had taught me
The love of this country
Yes, I'm coming back
Your hand in mine
As we enter the stage
For a first encore
Finally

Me, the kid, me the Berber
Started from nothing, started from a war
So many years
Hesitating
Wondering how to find you

Tonight, I kiss my Algeria
While you revisit your life
Your eyes stop
On a house
I hear it say through the balcony

Yes, I'm coming back
Where you left
A piece of broken heart
Where I was born
I'm finally coming back
As we had promised
As you had taught me
As Eli wanted
Yes, I'm coming back
Your hand in mine
As we enter the stage
For a new encore
Finally

I'm coming back to you
I'm coming back to me
For the first time
Yes, I'm coming back
Looking in my street
For lost memories
A childhood that has been silenced
Yes, I've grown up
With an open heart
The love of this land
Where we lived as brothers
Yes, I've grown up
Your hands in mine
May our joys, our sorrows
Take us higher

Yes, I'm coming back
Your hands in mine
Together on stage
For a new encore
In Tlemcen
