The lyrics of Imarhan's song "Ehad Wa Dagh" are written in Tamasheq, a language spoken by the Tuareg people of northern Africa. The song talks about the hardships faced by the people of the region and the need for unity to overcome them.
The first verse talks about a person named Azaman, who is most likely a symbol for the community or a leader of some sort. The repetition of his name emphasizes his importance. The second line talks about the dryness of the land and the struggle to find water, which is a common problem in the Saharan desert. The third line suggests that they need to hurry up and find a solution before it's too late.
In the second verse, the lyrics speak of the devil's influence and the temptation to give in to his ways. The line, "Har doussa iblis esamaslad" can be translated to "Every weakness leads to the devil." The next line talks about being deceived and losing their sense of direction. The repetition of "Wad Azaman" at the end of each verse ties the song back to the central theme of unity and reminds the listeners of the importance of collective action.
