Lyrics
(Verse 1)
Yo, let me take you on a journey through the sands of time,
Where the Atlas Mountains stand, and the stars align.
Morocco, the land of ancient Berber tribes,
From the Phoenicians to the Romans, feel the vibes.
Carthage was the start, trading goods so fine,
Then Rome came through, building cities, pouring wine.
Volubilis, the ruins of a Roman dream,
Now a symbol of the past, in the Moroccan theme.
(Chorus)
Morocco, the jewel of North Africa,
From Marrakesh to Tangier, feel the magic, huh.
Through the ages, we've seen it all,
From the rise and the fall, to the call of the Sahara's call.
(Verse 2)
Islam came in the 7th century,
The Umayyad Caliphate, spreading to the sea.
Idris I, founder of the Idrisid state,
Fez was born, and it sealed our fate.
Almoravids and Almohads, empires so grand,
Building mosques and palaces, across this land.
Marrakesh, a city of red stone and gold,
The Koutoubia stands tall, tales of old.
(Chorus)
Morocco, the jewel of North Africa,
From Marrakesh to Tangier, feel the magic, huh.
Through the ages, we've seen it all,
From the rise and the fall, to the call of the Sahara's call.
(Verse 3)
The Marinids took over, building schools and more,
Medersa Bou Inania, knowledge at its core.
Sultan Mohammed V fought for our independence,
1956, we gained our reverence.
Modern Morocco, a blend of old and new,
With the spirit of the past, we continue to pursue.
From the souks of Casablanca to the Rif mountains high,
Our history is rich, and it reaches for the sky.
(Chorus)
Morocco, the jewel of North Africa,
From Marrakesh to Tangier, feel the magic, huh.
Through the ages, we've seen it all,
From the rise and the fall, to the call of the Sahara's call.
(Outro)
So remember the tales of this ancient land,
Where the desert meets the sea, and the winds command.
Morocco, a story that will never fade,
A legacy of strength, in the history we've made.
