Mdou Moctar
Bismilahi Atagah
I begin in the name of God
At this moment in time
I begin in the name of God
At this moment in time
In the hope this invocation can save me

I begin in the name of God
At this moment in time
I begin in the name of God
At this moment in time
In the hope this invocation can save me

I didn't know love can be so agonizing
It has pierced deep within my blood
And bones

I begin in the name of God
At this moment in time
I begin in the name of God
At this moment in timе
In the hope this invocation can save mе

Love has become a painful boil in my life
More painful than the sword of my enemy

I begin in the name of God
At this moment in time
I begin in the name of God
At this moment in time
In the hope this invocation can save me
