Ma di Tbatent yella wegdud
Di Tzezzukt yella wghidud
Ut s teghmas erzem tarmunt
Abrid yettawi gher Tmerkunt
Ma yzawgwn rsin d ikentaf
Iw a ten nnesri zzat Icentaf
Awi yis nnigh d tamektart
Aw’ it Tafrent Tazegrart
Imerdin yella nceqqa
Webrid n Yighzer-n-Taqqa

Ali! Ali Tsawent-Ucercar
Dis tella teslit-n-wenzar
Ani llan yirden n zik?
Azizi laqqar werzik
Laqqar llan deg Wareddam
Laqqar llan di Merdeddam
La di Majbet, la Titt-Ulud
Ks ubellum, ks ubellud
Hatay wedfel yeqqar azul
Yeqqen wernanegh Tizi-Vyul

Di Lmerj-n-Hamed yella wennar
Tella tegrut, yella weddar
Ghadi ssis llan Ifersan
W’ iten yettun, ttun t wussan
Deg wafra zewghen imwagen
Adfel yeccat al ifadden
D Reggada i ghen d yegrin
Imawen-n-Tebhirin
Nugir, nugir nnigh as aca
Ma d way d abrid n Baca

D id nexled Lhudjaj
Yett’f anegh ca waedjaj
Ay nezli di Tferdasin
Ulawen ulin, rsin
D anezgum si syun ald da
Yehla rebbi nufa Ssulda
Nufa dis buzelluf
Am di Teârict-Ubelluf
D Taârict-n-Warris ma tulid
D Ghil-Uzemmur ma tehwid

Hatay Warris, hatay Warris
Tamurt n wuccen d yifis
Nudef Taqliat-Tazewgaght
Nufa tisednan mess’lent di tlaxt
Taghrudt-n-Aâmer dis neffud
Neswa aman di Blihud
Nugir, nugir nnigh as aca
Ma d way d Cir-n- At-Aica?
Nugir, nugir gh’r zzat, gh’r zzat
Di Tburect akerra yeccat

Tabendudt s talamin
Aqerdac si Tghanimin
Deg Ymi-n-Tzennaqt tella tsaghit
Qamira w’r tewwi Taghit
Tenn’ ay d lalla ‘rz ay d axelxal
Nnigh as iw a m d yas si Tfelfal
Id n texlalt d lâuda
Si Teqliat-n-Mesâuda
Zelmed, zelmed di Lebracma
Nnigh as alighef a weltma

Yessiwel d yigg seg Yat-ghdir
Yenn’ a ken awigh gh’r At-Idir
Yenn’ as Dali-ug-Qewwar
Aw’ iten gh’r Usemmar
Nekker nugir deg wsallas
Negga w’rnanegh Icc-Ufunas
Tililwin d uherbi
Di Lumaleh ass urehbi
Nekker seg Ybawen-n-Yilfan
Nufa Ghufi nerni yifran

Ma d asli, ma d taslit
Djin Addar-n-Teslit
Di Tderghalt ilul wesli
Assa taslit tettu tikli
Di had xelden Suf-n-Yislan
Asrir-n-Leâbar eddu n yitran
Ad d yali wass ghef Ayradu

Dun di Tizi-Tamellalt
Ani tufa taqellalt

Deg Yifri-ug-Zewgagh nnan
Aghet abrid n Ibanyan
Merqayeb at am terbest
Teswa idem, teswa tindest
Ya Settar! U ya Settar!
Sigh’r anegh d Lqettar
Ma d âileb, ma d tâilbi
Llan di Tedlest-n-Lâerbi

Deg wesrir ameqq’ran

Hata wqeyyal! Hatay wezghal!
Imi yud’f it useyyal

>>Vous serez il possible de nous donner le max des noms de lieux
de l'Aures comme communement utilses ds le vernaculaire local(As a blog posting)?
Moi personellement c'est la premiere foi que je lis Tmerkunt et Tbatent que je prefere de loin a Batna et Markunda.
C'est comme Bgayet pour Bejaia et
Tubirett pout Bouira
Your opinion?

>>Tbatent tamdint tagejdit n tmurt icawiyen.

>tamektart : Tasard'unt
Je souhaitrai que d'autres algriens
confirment ou infirment l'usage de ces mots ds leur vernaculaire quotidien... Di teqbaylit neqqar Tasardunt( di teqbaylit tamektart ???)

>wernanegh : Behind us

Very much so. It is a way of shawinizing the names :) Tbatnet for Batna, Tkuket for T'kout...etc.

>wernanegh : Behind us
>> deffir neγ

We use the awal deffir,too. Neqqer gher d'effir
