IWAL

Ay amdukel mani tellid ?
At izukar ttebbin abrid
Ma tibberkent tewwi iwal
Tayerdemmut telwi awal

Ay amdukel mani tellid ?
Tamerseyyut d widin d abrid !

Ay amdukel mani tellid ?
At tamettant tugha abrid
Xsegh ak k inigh azzul ! Azzul !
Tiwdi tersa, tens’ ay deg wul

Ay amdukel mani tellid ?
Tamerseyyut d widin d abrid !

Ay amdukel mani tellid ?
Tamurt nnegh ur dis abrid
As d a wma, Dzayer assa
Dis timmuzzert tuta tersa

Tafsut a wma, imal ! Imal !
Id n tawmadt iw ad d tughal
Ay amdukel hatay imal
Yewwi d ides achal d iwal

Ay amdukel mani tellid ?
Tamerseyyut d widin d abrid !

Aqbayli (Ruh a sidi ruh)

Di Lewras, yegga weltmas

Deg wsallas tetnaras

Yuli wass, yekker fellas

Ibeâd as, tessiwel tennas

Ruh a sidi ruh ! Ruh a sidi ruh !


Aqbayli ig-getrun, Sliγ awalik

Nniγ ak d acu ig-gellan ?

Tennid ay d asefru

Afusik deg wfusiw, ad aliγ adrar ik

Agu yers d ‘f tmurtiw,

Ekk’s it keccini ayegma


Di Lewras, yegga weltmas

Yemda wass, yufa wmas

Yuli wass, yerfed arkas

Yut’ sallas, yedsa yenn’ as

Ruh a sidi ruh ! Ruh a sidi ruh !

Mummy, please tell me
What are you weaving? What are you weaving?

I am weaving ... weaving for my son
A qachabit for the rain
A qachabit for the snow
A white qachabit
With black stripes

Mummy, please tell me
What are you weaving? What are you weaving?

I am weaving ... weaving for my son
A qachabit for the cold
A qachabit for winter
A qachabit for life

Mummy, please tell me
What are you weaving? What are you weaving?

I am weaving ...weaving for my son
A qachabit of love
A qachabit for the festival
A qachabit for the king...
Embarking on a journey

Yughurta

Last night, I had a dream

I saw a great man

He said : "wake up, daughter!

Go enlighten your brothers

Go and tell them you saw...

Yughurta!

He said he missed his homeland

The great land of Imazighen

The land watered by his tears

The land where he chassed the gazelle

"Call your brothers and tell them you saw...

Yughurta!

Under the wing of his a3law*, he produced

A big notebook and said :

"Here it is, take it, show your brothers

So they will know the history of Imazighen

Tell them this is the story of...

Yughurta!
