El harraga

Bkit ala wladi bkit ala bladi bkit ala wladi
Cheft dmouai fel khdoud
Kabarthoum rabbit kbert chebt w ayit lehna li tmenit
Lihoum ma andou hdoud
Kalou nemchou ya baba w yema lmostakbel mesdoud
Mabka fe douk hata benna lhout khir medoud
Mchawli weladi choubane sghar
Reda w Elhady dahoum lbhar
Tfat chemaeti w njoumi mahi beyna
Tfat chemaeti ya nessi w sema mghayma
Bkit ala wladi bkit ala bladi bkit ala wladi
Cheft dmouai fel khdoud
Kabarthoum rabbit kbert chebt w ayit lehna li tmenit
Lihoum ma andou hdoud
Kalou nemchou ya baba w yema lmostakbel mesdoud
Mabka fe douk hata benna lhout khir medoud
Bkit w bkit aynia taamaw
Hawest malgit weladi mawelaw
Rham ya allah ya rabbi rana sabrine
Rham ya allah ya laali lik rana rajaine
Bkit ala wladi bkit ala bladi bkit ala wladi
Cheft dmouai fel khdoud
Kabarthoum rabbit kbert chebt w ayit lehna li tmenit
Lihoum ma andou hdoud
Kalou nemchou ya baba w yema lmostakbel mesdoud
Mabka fe douk hata benna lhout khir medoud

The Illegal Immigrant

I cried for my children, I cried for my country, I cried for my children
I saw my tears on my cheeks
I raised them, they grew up, and they reached the age I dreaded
An age with no limits
They said, "We're leaving, father and mother, the future is closed"
There's nothing left in this country, even the sea is a better escape
My young sons left me
Reda and Elhady, the sea took them
My family is broken, and I am lost between them
My family is broken, my love, and the sky is cloudy
I cried for my children, I cried for my country, I cried for my children
I saw my tears on my cheeks
I raised them, they grew up, and they reached the age I dreaded
An age with no limits
They said, "We're leaving, father and mother, the future is closed"
There's nothing left in this country, even the sea is a better escape
I cried and cried, my eyes are tired
I searched but couldn't find them, my children haven't returned
Have mercy, oh God, my Lord, we are patient
Have mercy, oh God, oh Most High, to you we return
I cried for my children, I cried for my country, I cried for my children
I saw my tears on my cheeks
I raised them, they grew up, and they reached the age I dreaded
An age with no limits
They said, "We're leaving, father and mother, the future is closed"
There's nothing left in this country, even the sea is a better escape
