Verse 1

Grandmother's hands on the washing line

Salt from the strait on her skin

She hums a tune from the old medina

Where the spice souk used to sing

I carry her voice in my pocket

Gold bangles clinking like rain

Her Shabbat candles still flicker

Through the walls of my winter lane

Pre-Chorus

Strait of Gibraltar

Calling me home

Chorus

Tangier girl

Waves and white stone

Tangier girl

I am never alone

Tangier girl

Mama's sweet song

Tangier girl

Where I belong

Verse 2

My grandmother danced at the wedding

Silk scarf spinning around

Her laugh was a tambourine rhythm

That the ocean carried south

Now I light the same flame on Friday

And the sea still tastes like her name

Every step that I take in this city

Is a step of her holy flame

Pre-Chorus

Strait of Gibraltar

Calling me home

Chorus

Tangier girl

Waves and white stone

Tangier girl

I am never alone

Tangier girl

Mama's sweet song

Tangier girl

Where I belong

Bridge

From the Atlas to the sea

From the desert to the shore

Hand in hand

Hand in hand

We carry more

Chorus

Tangier girl

Waves and white stone

Tangier girl

I am never alone

Tangier girl

Mama's sweet song

Tangier girl

Where I belong
