مالفّدة
مالفّدة شي ما يتعّدى
صاحي ولا مخمور
مالْقلق راسك يتْفلق
لا دوا ينفع لا بخور
وين تمشي تضربك الحيوط
وتقعد تدور تدور تدور
مالكّبي تفّرغ وتعّبي
Toutes les nuits, tous les jours
وكان زهيت يهّدو عليك الرهوط
تقوم تهرب وتدور تدور تدور
تزبريطه تجي ڤنوط
ترّصيلك تدور تدور تدور
تدور كي الزربوط
وتطيح ماكلكّبوط
********************
FROM BOREDOM
From boredom, nothing survives
sober or inebriated.
Your head explodes from torpidity,
neither remedy nor incense
have any effect.
Wherever you go,
you bounce between the walls.
You find yourself
turning, turning, turning...
You’re over flowing with bad luck,
every night, every day.
And should you rejoice
the sky falls in on you.
You get up, flee
and turn, turn, turn...
One drink and you’re off
turning,turning,turning...
like a spinning wheel.
Then you fall!
Taking a beating.
********************
DE L’ENNUI
De l’ennui, rien ne réchappe,
sobre ou enivré.
De la torpeur, ta tête explose,
ni remède, ni encens n’ont d’effet.
Où que tu ailles, t’es au pied du mur,
et tu te retrouves
à tourner, tourner, tourner...
De la guigne, tu es rempli.
Toutes les nuits, tous les jours.
Et si jamais tu te réjouis,
les tuiles te tombent dessus.
Tu te lèves, fuis
et tu tournes, tournes, tournes...
Une beuverie et tu es parti
Et tu tournes encore, encore,
Tu tournes tel une toupie
Jusqu’àtomber!
T’as pris une sacrée raclée !
