Paroles et traduction Idir - Tizi Ouzou (San Francisco)

Tizi Ouzou (San Francisco)

Adossée à la coline
On y vient à pied
On y frappe pas
Ceux qui vivent la
Ont jeté la clef

Win izgern i tebburt
Yeqqim îdwer i ûdebsi
S lbenna n tmurt
Tasebba n tikti
Unadi tsarut
N waggur d itri

Tizi-Ouzou élève, des enfants fous de rêve,
Tizi ouzou, anda tedîd!
Andat rbah!
Tettmenîd iwarawim

*******

D Aseqqif n Tmana
D aqdim ngayas leqrar
Ntzurut af dâr
Am unebgi am uaatâr
Wid it izedghen degren tisura

Peuplée de cheveux longs
De grands lits et de musiques
Peuplée de lumière et peuplée de fous,
La maison berbère mazalit debout

Tizi-Ouzou se lève
Allant au bout de ses rêves

Tizi ouzou, anda tedîd,
Andat nnif tettmenîd I warawim

*******

Di Tawrirt n Mussa
Ig llul weqcic d amencuf
Ayen din idda
Deg ucruf gher ucruf
Ur yuffi lehna
Ur issin lxuf

Di Tewrirt n Mussa
Inder urgaz n Tefsut
Ayen ifi icna
Dayen fi immut
Ismis Tamazgha
D lmut ma nettut

Tizi-Ouzou se lève, dans ses collines s'achève
Le rêve des fous, qui veulent de nous
Que l'on oublie
Tizi... Tizi-Ouzou

Tizi Ouzou (San Francisco)

Nestled on the rolling hills
We arrive on foot
We're not knocking
Those who dwell there
Have thrown away the key

Win izgern i tebburt
Yeqqim îdwer i ûdebsi
S lbenna n tmurt
Tasebba n tikti
Unadi tsarut
N waggur d itri

Tizi-Ouzou nurtures, children wild with dreams,
Tizi ouzou, where you find peace!
Where you grow!
You raise your dreams high

*******

In Aseqqif n Tmana
In the cliffs of Tmana
An ancient mountain pass
You watch over your home
Like a sentinel in the mist

Populated by long-haired dreamers
With grand beds and music
Populated by light and by madmen,
The Berber house still stands tall

Tizi-Ouzou rises
Chasing her dreams

Tizi ouzou, where you find peace,
Where sleeplessness raises high your dreams

*******

In Tawrirt n Mussa
The cries of the newborn and the dying echo
What can be said
In a land of peaks and valleys
There's not enough shelter
There's no calm to be found

In Tawrirt n Mussa
Under the watchful eye of the mountain Tefsut
What hope can be found
When we are consumed
Our name Tamazgha
Is dying, if we do nothing

Tizi-Ouzou rises, in her hills the dream abides
The dream of the madmen, who demand of us
That we forget
Tizi... Tizi-Ouzou
