Camel’s prayer

We left in a hurry
I don’t recall having taken

this road before
Where are we going?

The night light is beautiful
My master looks away
What does he see?

My eyelashes are dusty and wet
I would like to find peace
Is that a smile on his face?

My master,
He's been waiting for you for such a long time
He can't wait to see you
Could I see you myself?

My master told me
That you also love camels
He wants to give you gold
What could I offer you?

For us, camels
We carry on our backs
The embers of the eve's fire, well sealed
So that the fire never dies away…

I will give you some of my embers
So that you are warm at night
What if my hair is rough
I hope for a caress of yours that will console me
