[Intro]
Am
[Verse]
J'ai vu l'OrAmient dans son écrGin, avec la lune pour bannAmière.
Et je coAmmptais en un quatrGain, chanter au monde sa lumAmière.
[Verse]
Mais quand j'ai Amvu, JérusaGlem, coquelicot sur un rAmocher.
J'ai entAmendu un requGiem, quand sur lui je me suis pAmenché.
[Verse]
Ne vois tu Ampas humble chapGelle? Toi qui murmures "paix sur la tAmerre".
Que les oisAmeaux cachent de leurs aiGlles? Ces lettres de feu; "danger frontAmière"!
[Chorus 1]
Le chemin mDène à la fontAmaine, tu voudrais Dbien remplir ton scAmeau.
ArrèteD-toi Marie-MadelGeine! Pour eux ton cCorps ne vaut pas l'eBau.
[Bridge]
InchAm'Allah, InchG'Allah, InchF'Allah, InchAm'Allah...
[Verse]
Et l'olAmivier retrouve son Gombre, sa tendre épouse, son amAmie.
Qui repAmosait sur les décGombres, prisonnière en terre ennemAmie.
[Verse]
Et par desAmsus les barbelGés, le pappilon vole vers la rAmose.
Hier on l'aAmurait repudiGé, aujourd'hui enfin il Amose.
[Chorus 2]
Requiem pDour ces millions d'Amâmes, qui n'ont pas leur maDusolée de marAmbre.
Et qui malDgré le sable infâGme, ont fait pouCsser des millions d'arBbres.
End
InchAm'Allah, InchG'Allah, InchF'Allah, InchAm'Allah...

The story behind the song

"Inch Allah" is one of Salvatore Adamo's best-known songs, a powerful ballad that looks at the heart of the Middle East. It speaks of seeing the Orient "in its jewel box, with the moon as a banner," but also hearing a requiem when bending over it, hinting at a deep sadness beneath the surface. The lyrics plead for compassion, invoking figures like Mary Magdalene and recognizing the resilience of people who make "millions of trees grow" despite the "infamous sand." It's a song that channels both profound beauty and a lament for a troubled land.
