Salaam ya sa7bou! hadi muda maknktabsh hna, wo lakin kant mashghoul shouiya…

Kanzid ndrs derija, wo 3ndi raja’:

Ma ma3na had kalimat, min oughnia diel mughania maghrebia:

imik si mik
afousse hou fousse
wink d’winou ira n’ftou
[i will take the train leave the sun for the rain and come downtown i will spend money and time lose friends and cry more than a motherless child i will come downtown to you now]

imik si mik
afousse hou fousse
wink d’winou ira n’ftou
lih t’sfa tassa inou
lih toumzt afoussinou
lih sfane iwalniou
lih toumzt afoussinou
imik si mik
afousse hou fousse
wink d’winou ira n’ftou

Shoukran!

Salaam ya sa7bou! (sa7bou = his friend , i guess u meant s7abi = my friends ) hadi muda maknktabsh hna, wo lakin kant mashghoul shouiya…

Kanzid ndrs( well we understand what u mean but its a fus7a verb in darija we say n9ra) derija, wo 3ndi raja’ ( we say ‘‘talab’’ raja2 in fus7a , in darija raja2 is a name for girls or a football team in casablanca)

sorry i cant help u with the song its tamazight not darija :wink:

Aaaahhh…

Kaifa kangolo “je m’en doutais,” or, “I had a feeling…”??

#5

I had a feeling : 7ass (i’m feeling), kan7ess (i feel) or 7sseet (i felt)

#6

je men doutai = kont chakka fiha

#7

shoukran li kul ntoum!

#8

Shukran likom kamlin.
Shukran leljami3.

We don’t say li kul ntoum, I see a word-by-word translation from English in it.

Here is the song for those who don’t know it to follow with the lyrics. Kathleen, I added a missing line.

imik si mik - Little by little
afousse hou fousse - Hand in hand
wink d’winou ira n’ftou - Yours and mine, and we will go
X2

[I will take the train
leave the sun for the rain
and come downtown, town, town
and come downtown, town, town

I’ll spend money and time
lose friends and cry
more than a motherless child
I will come downtown to you now now now
to you now now now]

imik si mik - Little by little
afousse hou fousse - Hand in hand
wink d’winou ira n’ftou - Yours and mine, and we will go
imik si mik - Little by little
afousse hou fousse - Hand in hand
lih t’sfa tassa inou - My desire is satisfied
lih sfane iwalniou - My eyes are clear (dry?)
lih toumzt afoussinou Now that you hold my hand
aghar awiyi dik - Just take me with you

imik si mik - Little by little
afousse hou fousse - Hand in hand
wink d’winou ira n’ftou - Yours and mine, and we will go
X2

[I will take the train
leave the sun for the rain
and come downtown, town, town
and come downtown, town, town

I’ll spend money and time
lose friends and cry
more than a motherless child
I will come downtown to you now now now
to you now now now]

So baby please, won’t you open the door
etc…

so good zahara but i prefer her in acoustic mode, here, like that…
in studio version she’s not so simple…too sophisticated (i’ve seen some official videos…)

Anyway, imik si mik i hope i can learn something here :slight_smile:
