Hey all!

It would be great if someone of you could help me!

Thanks in advance!

sure i can help you ,but there is something,it's true that idir is algerian but he sings in babarian,and i gotta be honest,barbarian is so old and i can't understand a world,even the title,but the song has a french version called "mon coeur est au pays des merveilles" and it's as good as that one ,

here is cheb mami's parts

I'm not a moorish (barbarian) but , I'll ask some friends who are .. & I'll translate Idir's part for you later

thanks a million dear eleef,i'll edit my post

You're welcome ma chérie ^_^'

que t'es gentille!milles mercis

berber en force

this is kabilian dialect ..i understand words cause i am berber but chaoui ( cousin for kabilian ) but i have to ask for the exactly meaning of it ..so i ll give you only exemple :



A ya Azwaw sou mandil awragh
oh friend by the yellow kerchief


Azwaw = friend
awragh = yellow
kerchief = mandil ( by arabic منديل ..وشاح )
sakham = by house
elli = of
jududa = grand fathers



i ll do my best to translate all idir's part
