9AD BIA Lyrics Translation – Manal
The songwriter describes her love with specific images, like a scent that carries her away. She notes, ‘He’s a son of my land, and I’ve fallen for him.’ Manal builds a narrative of devotion that ignores the gossipers around them.
Aha aha ahaAha, aha, aha.
Qalo liyaThey told me,
Khwi rasak ghi kathelmi“Clear your head, you’re only dreaming.”
Ch khasskom feyaWhat does it have to do with you?
Gher hwa elli bin ainiHe’s the only one I see.
Finma kount nchoufouWherever I go, I see him.
Rihou dayez maah dayniHis scent lingers, carrying me away with it.
Kafi marfouMy head’s held high.
Wa ya laali rak aalem beyaOh Most High, You know my heart,
W ana qalbi la soulouhand my soul’s at peace.
