Yes, I will!
I just needed some more time
I was busy.
Here it goes :
ya rawi hki hkaya
madabik tkoun rwaya,
hkili 3ala nass zman
hkili 3ala alf lila w lila
w3ala loundja bin lghoula
w3la wlid soultan
hadjitek, majitek,
dina b3id men hadi denya
hadjitek madjitek
kol wahed menna fkalbou hkaya (*2)
Mr Story-teller, tell us a story,
let it be a "riwaya"
Tell me about the people of old times.
tell me about "Alf layla wa layla" (thousand nights and a night)
And about Lundja the Daughter of the Ogre.
And about the sun of the Sultan.
Hadjitek madjitek*
Take us away from this world..
hadjitek, madjitek
Every one of us has a story in him (in his heart) (*2)
hki wensa beli hna kbar
fi balek beli rana sghar
hkilna 3la jenna hkilna 3la nar,
3ala ter 3omro ma tar
fehhemna ma3na denya
hadjitek ma jitek
dina b3id mhadi denya
hadjitek, madjitek
kol wahed menna fkalbo hkaya (*2)
Tell us and forget that we're Grown Ups.
Imagine that we're little kids.
Tell us about Heaven, Tell us about Hell.
About the bird that never managed to fly away.
Teach us the meaning of this world.
Hadjitek, madjitek.
Take us away from this world.
hadjitek, madjitek.
Every one of us has a story in him (in his heart) (*2)
ya rawi hki kima hkawlek
matzid ma nakess min 3andek
kayen nechfaw 3la balek
hki nassina fhad zman
khalina fkan yamakan (fi kan yamakan)
hadjitek, madjitek,
dina b3id mhadi denya
hadjitek, madjitek
kol wahed menna fkalbo hkaya (*2)
Oh story-teller, tell us exactly like they told you
Dont add, dont take anything from it,(from your head.)
For we can remember, put that in mind.
Speak and let us forget about this time.
Leave us with "kan ya ma kan" (Once upon a time)
Hadjitek, madjitek
Every one of us has a story in him (in his heart) (*2)
* Hanjitek majitek : Famous expression in Algeria, used when somebody
wants to tell a story, he starts with this expression.
I remember my grandma used to use "hanjitek"
when she gave me riddles to solve.
* Lundja Daughter of the ogre : Famous Story or Legend in Algeria.
kind of like a Brothers Grimm's stories.
its about a girl that's raised by an ogre...
Enjoy
