A goodnight song for my friends!
I feel somehow “arabic” tonight – so I put this song of which I don’t understand nearly anything at all – but I just love the wonderful sound of the language! And I will try to understand a bit more one day… I’m working on it :))
Ce soir je me sens très proche à mes ami(e)s arabophones et arabophiles…
Massaa el-kheyr wa massaa ennoor wa layla saida!
A’Hki ya raoui ‘Hki ‘Hkaya
madabik tkoun riwaya
‘Hkili Âla nass zman
‘HKili Âla alef lila w’lila
wa Âla loundja bent el ghoula
wa Âla wlid es’soltane
‘Hadjitek madjitek
Eddina bÂid m’had eddenya
‘Hadjitek madjitek
Koul wa’Hed mena f’Qalbou ‘Hkaya
Koul wa’Hed mena f’Qalbou ‘Hkaya
A’Hki we’nssa beli ‘Hna kbar
Fi balek kelli ‘Hna sghar
Ou namnou koul ‘Hkaya
‘Hkina Â’l djenna ‘Hkina Âla nar
wa Âla ettir elli Âomrou ma tar
Fahemna maÂna eddenia
‘Hadjitek madjitek
Eddina bÂid m’had eddenya
‘Hadjitek madjitek
Koul wa’Hed mena f’Qalbou ‘Hkaya
Koul wa’Hed mena f’Qalbou ‘Hkaya
a’Hki ya raoui kima ‘Hkawlek
ma tzid ma t’nakass men Âandek
ki nachfa wa Âla balek
a’Hki w’nessina man had ezzmen
Khalina fi kan ya ma kan
fi kan ya ma kan
‘Hadjitek madjitek
Eddina bÂid m’had eddenya
‘Hadjitek madjitek
Koul wa’Hed mena f’Qalbou ‘Hkaya
Koul wa’Hed mena f’Qalbou ‘Hkaya

What a beautiful song! I love Souad Massi, although, sadly, I can’t understand Arabic. I’m so impressed you are learning. I’d love to learn it too, and hope to one day. With the different alphabet, it’s difficult for me — I guess I’m too visual with languages, and it helps me to be able to read it sometimes when I’m learning. But what a wonderful challenge it would be.
Do you know the song “Paris?” by Souad Massi and Marc Lavoine? It’s beautiful. You have inspired me, and I just posted it on my Multiply page. Now I think I’ll put it on my 360 too. Thanks for the wonderful post my twin sister! Hugs!
