Текст и перевод песни Rachid Taha - Rayah

Rayah

Ya rayah win msafar trouh taaya wa twali
Chhal nadmou laabad el ghaflin qablak ou qabli (bis)
Chhal cheft al bouldan laamrine wa lber al khali
Chhal dhiyaat wqat chhal tzid mazal ou t'khali
Ya lghayeb fi bled ennas chhal taaya ma tadjri
Tzid waad el qoudra wala zmane wenta ma tedri
Aalach qalbek hzine waalach hakdha ki zawali
Matdoum achadda wila tzid taalem ou tabni
Maydoumou layyam walay doum seghrek ou seghri
Ya hlilou meskine li ghab saadou ki zahri
Ya msafer naatik oussaayti addiha el bakri
Chouf ma yeslah bik qbal ma tbia ou ma techri
Ya nnayem djani khabrek ma sralek ma srali
Hakdha rad el qalb bel djbine sabhane el aali

Rayah

My love, where are you going? Return and come back to me
How many oblivious ones have been disappointed before you and me (twice)
How many cities have you seen, how many deserted lands
How many times have you lost and found again, how many times have you been left alone
You, who are lost in foreign lands, how come you don't run
Time passes and you don't know
Why is your heart so sad? Why are you like a vagabond?
Sometimes you suffer, sometimes you learn and build
Days don't last, and youth and childhood don't either
My poor friend, who has traveled without luck, like a poison
Oh, traveler, tell your story, give it to the camel
See what suits you before you follow and buy
Oh, sleeping beauty, tell me, what happened to you that happened to me
This is how the heart melts with desire, praise be to the Most High
