about
Solitude is a frequent subject of Tuareg songs and poetry, as nomads are habitually living far from their homes or society. This happens because the usual nomadic itinerary, droughts or armed conflicts that lead to escape into exile. Bombino is asking the world to tell him the solution to the problem of solitude because it hurts his heart. He becomes sick from solitude and is looking for a cure.
lyrics
What shall I do?
Oh, what shall I do
Against this endless solitude
It is located in the bottom of my heart
And lives on it every moment
My friends, do you know

Oh, what shall I do
Against this endless solitude

And lives on it every moment
My friends, do you know
What could cool my boiling heart?
