You ancestral treasure of the mountain

To you ancestral spirits who curved the mountain treasures

Ancestral spirits who gave birth to air, space and time
These prophetic words will hit their goals


“If you hear an Are’Are song you can feel and see how long it has been there. The songs are documents of who we are, the only gift our ancestors gave us."
