Eventually you must come back How many ignorant people have regretted this Before you and me How many overpopulated countries and empty lands have you seen? How much time have you wasted? How much have you yet to lose? Oh emigrant in the country of others Do you even know what's going on? Destiny and time follow their course but you ignore it Why is your heart so sad? And why are you staying there miserable? Hardship will end and you no longer learn or build anything The days don't last, just as your youth and mine didn't Oh poor fellow who missed his chance just as I missed mine Oh traveler, I give you a piece of advice to follow right away See what is in your interest before you sell or buy Oh sleeper, your news reached me And what happened to you happened to me Thus, the heart returns to its creator, the Highest Mon, 19 Nov 2007 06:01:51 GMT http://arabe.tribe.net/thread/b32ddb76-d2f6-4f27-a870-ab7001e2207d#96bcd28a-b1d6-4eda-a2d5-73dee88d8f41 Michelle 2007-11-19T06:01:51Z http://arabe.tribe.net/thread/b32ddb76-d2f6-4f27-a870-ab7001e2207d#2e80e23a-5b16-4610-ad47-faa4908eba2b يا الرايح وين مسافر تروح تعيا و تولي شحال ندمو لعباد الغافلين قبلك و قبلي Sat, 25 Aug 2007 17:26:01 GMT http://arabe.tribe.net/thread/b32ddb76-d2f6-4f27-a870-ab7001e2207d#2e80e23a-5b16-4610-ad47-faa4908eba2b Elyaqim Mosheh Adam (Mark) 2007-08-25T17:26:01Z http://arabe.tribe.net/thread/b32ddb76-d2f6-4f27-a870-ab7001e2207d#6e7a4400-eb7c-4bea-b0ca-d6e63597fb21 I've only ever been able to find a transliteration on the internet but it would be easier to figure out what the words meanif it was in Arabic script. Does anyone have it in Arabic writing?

Can anyone shed a piece of light on the lyrics and their significance? Much appreciated, as it's a beautiful song.

If you are not i highly reccommend his 1998 album "Diwan." Anyways, I am really enjoying a bunch of tracks on his new album "Tekitoi" The tracks "safi" and "meftouh" are particularly hot. Plus for all you students of colloquial Algerian Arabic it has excellent transliterations, and translations of the lyrics into french and english. ana gelbi safi! nabghi il-habb b-z-zahwani! safi! safi! zahwani! awya!!!!
