Hi there, first post here!
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), that's why I didn't post in the translation request forums.
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![]()

Isn't there anybody able to respond?
I guess I'll take a shot in the arabic translation forum then. -
Hay.. thinx 4 ur respond at my thread. Ok, let's c..
Hmmm.. the Arabic dialect in the song is Algerian. It is a very tough one because Algerian dialect had been influenced by French. Although I speak Arabic, I only understood 10% of the song put I found u the translation else were.
Hope it help..
Cheft El Khof Lyrics
Artist: Orange Blossom
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 -
Well thank you nonetheless, at least I know which dialect it is.
I also know now that I'm even further from understanding it than I thought since I study literary Arabic!
The lyrics are as sad as they sound. -
Any time أي وقت ;-)
