La sécheresse comme un oiseau rapace
A dévasté villages et points d’eau
Et le désert lentement prend la place
Des champs de mil des hommes et des troupeaux
Dans les yeux d’un enfant comme un mirage
Naît l’oasis qu’il n’a jamais connue
Il rêve alors de ces verts pâturages
Dont parlent encore les vieux de la tribu

Les arbres pousseront,
Verdira le barrage
Arrêtant le désert
Et ramenant l’espoir
Les enfants grandiront
Et dans tous les villages
La faim, la soif d’hier
Quitteront les mémoires 
La faim, la soif d’hier
Quitteront les mémoires
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh 

S’il n’a connu qu’un monde désertique
Cet enfant noir qui vivant dans la peur
Les jours de pluie, sous des flots de musique
Il dansera en signe de bonheur
L’eau, le soleil et la forêt qui chante
Ramèneront la vie tout comme avant
Tous ces enfants oubliant la tourmente 
Pourront grandir dans un Sahel vivant

Les arbres pousseront,
Verdira le barrage
Arrêtant le désert
Et ramenant l’espoir
Les enfants grandiront
Et dans tous les villages
La faim, la soif d’hier
Quitteront les mémoires 
La faim, la soif d’hier
Quitteront les mémoires
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
