Chorus
Ténéré 1,can you tell meof anything betterThan to have your friendsand your mount,And a brand new goatskin,watertight,To find your wayby the lightOf the four bright starsof heaven,To know howto find water inThe unlikeliest of places,And enlist the momentumof the windTo help you move forward.
Tell me, Ténéré,how you and ICan remain united,with no hate for each other.Ténéré, I can now admit thatI have travelled far through this wide world.Ténéré, I give you my oathThat as long as I’m alive,I will always come back to you.
