Lyrics
They rode in the morning
Embarking on a journey in the morning.
Casablanca to the west
Traveling from Casablanca to the west.
On the Atlas Mountain foothills leading down to Marakesh
On the foothills of the Atlas Mountains, leading to Marrakesh.
For Mohammed and Morocco
Dedicating the journey to Mohammed and Morocco.
We had taken up our guns
Arming themselves for a cause.
For the ashes of our fathers and the children of our sons.
Seeking revenge for the previous generation and securing the future generation.
For the ashes of our fathers and the children of our sons.
Reiteration of the commitment to protect ancestral legacy and future offspring.
In the dry winds of summer
Preparing for action in the dry summer winds.
They were sharpening the blades.
Sharpening weapons in anticipation.
They were riding to act upon the promise we had made.
Riding to fulfill a promise made.
With the fist and the dagger
Using force and weaponry.
With the rifle and the lance
Employing various weapons like rifles and lances.
We will suffer no intrusion from the Infidels of France.
Rejecting any interference from the Infidels of France.
We will suffer no intrusion from the Infidels of France.
Reiteration of resistance against interference.
Ride, ride, ride, ride to Agadir.
Command to ride to Agadir.
Ride, ride, ride, ride to Agadir.
Repetition of the command to ride to Agadir.
They could wait no more
No more patience, moving swiftly in the burning sands.
In the burning sands on the ride to Agadir.
Continuation of the journey despite challenges.
Ride, ride, ride, ride to Agadir.
Reiteration of the command to ride to Agadir.
Like the dogs of war
Comparing themselves to the dogs of war, signifying determination.
For the future of this land on the ride to Agadir.
Acting for the future prosperity of the land.
Ride, ride, ride, ride to Agadir.
Repetition of the command to ride to Agadir.
Though they were waiting
Despite waiting and being outnumbered, they continue.
And they were fifty to our ten
Their ten outnumbering their adversaries' fifty.
They were easily outnumbered by a smaller force of men.
Despite the numerical disadvantage, they are confident.
As the darkness was falling
As night falls, a realization dawns on the adversaries.
They were soon to realize
Awareness of impending danger.
We were going to relieve them of their God-Forsaken lives.
Intent to take the lives of the adversaries.
We were going to relieve them of their God-Forsaken lives.
Reiteration of the intention to eliminate the adversaries.
They could wait no more
No more waiting in the burning sands.
In the burning sands on the ride to Agadir.
Continuation of the journey despite challenges.
Ride, ride, ride, ride to Agadir.
Repetition of the command to ride to Agadir.
Like the dogs of war
Comparing themselves to the dogs of war, signifying determination.
For the future of this land on the ride to Agadir.
Acting for the future prosperity of the land.
Ride, ride, ride, ride to Agadir.
Repetition of the command to ride to Agadir.
They rode in the morning
Reiteration of the morning journey.
Casablanca to the west
Traveling from Casablanca to the west.
On the Atlas Mountain foothills leading down to Marakesh
On the foothills of the Atlas Mountains, leading to Marrakesh.
For Mohammed and Morocco
Dedicating the journey to Mohammed and Morocco.
We had taken up our guns
Arming themselves for a cause.
For the ashes of our fathers and the children of our sons.
Seeking revenge for the previous generation and securing the future generation.
For the ashes of our fathers and the children of our sons.
Reiteration of the commitment to protect ancestral legacy and future offspring.
