C H E B . الشاب - M I N U I T | سير و آجي (English Translation)
[Verse 1]
Empty that cupboard
Load it on a truck
Or burn it to the ground... There's nothing left to do
It's only furniture and dust... Sold them wholesale
Go live in a small plot of land... There's nothing left to do
[Refrain]
You go and come back... We're all gonna die
Get up and observe, Hold it or go
Go and come, go and come, go and come to cheer up
Go and come, go and come, go and come if you could, fly!
Go and come, go and come, go and come to cheer up go and come
If only your tears were copper, you would be rich
Yet if they were a Mawal* "Ya lil" (a folk song in colloquial language, it has an intro, the well-know one is "Ya lili ya lil")
If your tеars were stairs, you would touch saturn. At least
If only thеy were wine, If only they were stairs
If only they were courtyard, If they were hejhouj,*
(a three stringed skin-covered bass plucked lute used by the Gnawa people)
If only they were honey
[Verse 2]
You tired from the night, it's all trouble
It's got its own people, who left you nothing but darkness
You tired of the pan, your family told you to go find gold coins to compet for it*, "Find yourself a wife" (A Moroccan lyric poetry mostly chanted in Moroccan weedings, the lines of the poetry are "This is where the gold coins fell, This is where we shall all compete for it/circle around it" which means the family trying to get him to marry)
[Refrain]
You go and come back... We're all gonna die
Get up and observe, Hold it or go
Go and come, go and come, go and come to cheer up
Go and come, go and come, go and come if you could, fly!
Go and come, go and come, go and come to cheer up, go and come
If only your tears were copper, you would be rich
Yet if they were a Mawal "Ya lil"
If only your tears were stairs, you would touch saturn. At least
If only they were wine
[Outro]
If only your tears were copper, you would be rich
Yet if only they were a Mawal "Ya lil"
If only your tears were stairs, you would touch saturn. At least
If only only they were wine, If only they were stairs
If only they were courtyard, If only they were hejhouj
If only they were honey
O, mother! x7
I wanna run away, whatever the consequences
I wanna blow away my way to the other end
I wanna run away, whatever the consequences
Get off the way, Get off the way
I wanna win, I wanna reach the other end
