(sung in Tamasheq)

Amidinine, amidinine
Tada adounia tichagret
Tada adounia gouzoul
Sagglete s'immik iyyane
Was tarhed dagh manak

Awa tarhed, arhekh
Iguekh dagh mane isiglekh
Edag dossed kitawakh

(translation)

My friend, my friend
This life is long
This life is short
Manage it in a certain way
The way that suits you

What you desire, I desire it as well
From the depth of my heart, I accept it
Everywhere I go, I'll think about it

Yes. Guitars ARE a symbol of rebellion. No matter what language the vocalist sings in.

Loved this song on first listen, and that album art is SO good.

Please people open your minds hearts and ears for different sounds. 




You lucky duck.  I wish that I could have been there too, to see & hear them!

It got me the first time. Quite a unique use of electric guitar and typical Arab singing (which I cannot stand in its original form). Has a character of its own.

Try the Z900RS. You won't be disappointed. Just like the Z1, except it corners and stops!!
I love mine 

PS and it's just beautiful !! (wish i could work out how to put pictures in with my posts like some other clever folk seem to do.... )

Got addicted to mesmerizing sound of his guitar from the first listening. Love his singing style too. Never tired of Bombino.

I've had many "Moggy's" - '59 Plus 4 was my first, followed by a 57 Plus 4, another '59 but a 4-seater this time, and my favorite, a '64 DHC. Did many rallies in the '60s and '70s with the Morgan Plus Four Club in LA. Now I'm too old to even get myself into one!

I'm surprised by all the comments along the lines of initially not liking it, then later coming to like it.
I love this from day 1.  Absolutely LOVE it.  Bombino is a great guitarist, and I love his sound.
I hadn't heard of Bombino before hearing it here, ... yet another example of how Bill and RP make lives richer.  Thanks Bill!

Saw Bomino in concert in SF. FABULOUS. But if he could get a band that's as good as he is to back him up...he'd be world famous.
Posted 4 years ago by herbalwise    [ Reply ]
I do like this song, but, I've been listening a lot these past few weeks., and I seem to hear it every day or maybe every two days (I'm losing track...). Same with some other songs. Anyway - more than  3x in the past 30 days..
Posted 4 years ago by stevesaw    [ Reply ]
When I first heard this song I was kind of blown away. Now it's a favorite, as are other Bombino songs.

I recognize that. The overwhelming feeling a song can give you, hearing it for the first time and going to the heart right away (where it may stay for ever).

Upon closer inspection, the pinched ends of the exhaust pipes give it away as being a early vintage CB 500 Four.  Still a very cool album cover along with the Fender Strat riding shotgun.
