Orange Blossom - Cheft el Khof

I had no response in the lyric request forum, so I try here. Since it's an arabic song, maybe it needs the more specfic audience of this forum.

I'm interested in the lyrics of the songs from the album "Everything must change" by Orange Blossom, french band.
The lyrics are in arabic, and I want it in arabic (which I'm learning).

Here is the song on Youtube : Cheft el Khof
I would appreciate if you could also tell me in which dialect this is sung.

Thank you

In fact this song is sung with north african dialect (I would say moroccan dialect)

It will be very hard to have the lyrics because of the background music (a lots of noise "sorry")

But if you're interested in the lyrics in arabic could you have at least the lyrics in english/ french and I'll try to translate it in arabic Ok??

doesn't the title (choft al khof) mean : Seeing the fear?

Hi! Thanks for answering.

In fact, my original post was answered in the meantime. Ash4u couldn't understand the dialect either, but looked pretty sure that it was algerian.
As for the "noise" , between 3:30 - 4:30 the voice stands out more clearly.

Seems so, indeed.


Here are the english translated lyrics from the web:

Because of misery, I've seen people suffer
Lose their lands and their rights
Lose their houses and their children
With no strenght left to
hold their head up again

Here or there
I've realised that people
were taken advantage [ ]
by using their blood
while the mothers swore
theirs was the same
because of that misery, I've seen people suffer
Lose their houses and their children
their lands and their rights
I've seen fear and doubt
settle in their hearts
with malaise by my side

However, there I found myself,
alone and powerless in that world
with only my eyes to see and my heart no longer able to cry
and some night, there was so much pain around
that sadness took my heart away,
and would not give it back

With no strenght left to
hold their head up again

In fact I'm sure that the dialect is moroccan because it's my dialect

For the lyrics I'll try to write them for the week end (lots of work in these days )

choft el khouf does mens seeing the fear

All the best !!!
