Just in case the subject of Taureg rebels should come up, say for example in my next post, I thought I would post some Taureg rebel music by the Malian band Tinariwen. They've appeared before on Flares, in my series on the music of Mali.
Hehehe... its a love song. Here are the lyrics in English:
I Spent The Day (Cler Achel) [English translation from the album liner notes]
[1st verse/Chorus:] I spend the day and still the following night I spent a whole season travelling I spend the day and still the following night I spent a whole season travelling
[2nd verse:] You've gone, Mila, you've already gone and I've plunged deeper into my dreams Whatever my thoughts, she occupies them all, and my heart cries out still
(Chorus)
[3rd verse:] I's a time which separates the beloved from those they love And when you think of them, painful obsessive thoughts are all that come.
OK ... that was really hard on my senses...
