Lyrics
Hadi hobbab il leela rani andihom waah
Nebghi adoo yaay adma wedali gowwedeh waah
Nebghi adoo yaay yama weedoor fizzeneq waah
Willi gharou minna eedirou keefna waah
Sahra bled irramla, sahra bled il temra
Sobri sobri ya layli taay farraj rabbi
Ma tebki matshafeeni konti tkhemmi waah
Aayit feek nsa3ef hatta raayeetinif waah
La3bou beek oo biya issil3a inneksa waah
Ki ma bekeeteeni lyoum gla3ti li lihmoun waah
Sahra bled innakhla, sahra bled il tamra
Sobri sobri ya layle taay farraj rabbi
