Tmaninatt - Labess перевод на английский

Tmaninatt

كان واحد النهار واحد كافي
مسكين كان يدعي بلا ربي
باللي هاد الدنيا تتسڤم
شرب كاس حلو شرب كاس مر
من داك الخبر اللي بحر هادا روم و هادا ويسكي
حالف عمرو ما يصحاشي مدام الارض فيها الدوني
فيها الحڤرة و التواغيط
حالف يلڤى راحة البال ياك بلادو فيها نجمة هلال
و جابت حتى الاستقلاااااااال
الحكاية بدات في تمانينات
خرج صغير يجري بالاعلامات مام دزاير تكالفيات (رابح مادجر)
مع صحابو خبط فوق الطاولة يحكو ديما عال . حابين يبدلو القوانين
عاش هاكدا بضعة من سنين تخمامو غير بنيان البلاد حتى دقت88
خرجو لي جان و الشعب جيعان في السوق الفلاح ديما لا شان
لارمي تيرات تبدل الزمان زاڤات و بدات الانتخبات
que vida looocaaa
و في سنة التسعينات الرايس ڤالو خطب طاح مات الدزاير تزاڤات
ما تفريها غير الايترونجي
في باري تلاقى بالقاورية عندها البركة و النية دارتلو جواز جنسية
و معاها جاب زوج ذراري اسمهم بين عربي و ڤاوري و دار كروا عالالجيري
بالصح باقي يسمع في النشرة و الاخبار
راهم قتلو فلان قتلو فلتان
هداك لي قرا معاه فالليسي اليوم قلبها محشوشة و بدا يتيري
و لبارح كان يسمح سنين دخلة و خرجة و خبطة في الكاباري
que vida locaaaa
كي ولا البلاد خطفو السكات لي سكن حومتو محى الذكريات
ما بقات بنة الحفلات
ربيع حزين في واحد و الفين
في بن طلحى ما بقى ياسمين
الانسان هداك بقى بينو و بين غربة دزاير ماعندو وين
قلبو مجروح برمشة سكين
Respect From Tunisia.

Tmaninatt

One day, there was a café
A poor guy was praying without God
Believing this world is cursed
He drank a glass of sweet, a glass of bitter
From that news, that this one drinks rum and that one whiskey
He swore he'd never wake up as long as the earth has the 'dounia' (world)
It's full of holes and traps
He swore he'd find peace of mind, you know his country has a crescent star
And even gained independence!
The story began in the eighties
He went out young, running with flags, Algeria was struggling (Rabah Madjer)
With his friends, he slammed on the table, always talking about... wanting to change the laws
He lived like that for a few years, his only thought was building the country, until '88
They went out, the people were hungry, the farmer in the market always the same
Larmi Terkat, times changed, and elections began
Que vida looocaaa (What a crazy life)
And in the nineties, the President Bouteflika gave a speech, he fell, he died, Algeria was devastated
Only the 'itronji' (troublemakers) benefited
In Paris, he met a 'qawriya' (woman from Constantine), she had blessings and good intentions, she gave him citizenship
And with her, he had two children, named between Arab and Qawri, and he turned his back on the Algerian
But he still listens to the news and reports
They killed so-and-so, they killed so-and-so
That guy who studied with him in high school, today his heart is broken and he's starting to get lost
And yesterday he was forgiving years, going in and out, and bumping around in the cabaret
Que vida locaaaa (What a crazy life)
When the country became silent, the silence stole the scent of the neighborhood, erased the memories
The flavor of the parties is gone
A sad spring in two thousand and one
In Ben Talha, there are no more jasmines
This man is now between himself and the exile, Algeria, he has nowhere to go
His heart is wounded by a blink of a knife
Respect From Tunisia.
