Li Fet Ghi Mnem
Cheb Mami Lyrics

wou medeli wedjhe el hadra w'matkhalinich
With my noble horse, I entered the ceremony while you did not invite me

ou hakda deleli ouhey deleli ketrout el ghourba
And this is my lament, my longing, for the birds of the foreign land

wou takhmem hssebte li fet ghir mnem wou yaaah
And you remind me of my secrets that are only hidden in my mind

allach laabti biya aandi koul you djaya
You played with me and with all that I have

wou yaa delali chta derhalek oumri tebaat l'joura habssa wou yaaah
And my heart says, how much longer will my life be tormented by the strap of poverty and longing

refrain:

ahaay ya kilini wou nssini wou khayef moukhi y rouhli wou hay delali wou zine aande malih kalbi malek hakda wou yaaah
Oh, take me and forget me and fear for my soul, oh my heart, and the beauty that has taken possession of my heart in this way

ayit nssaaaf wou ranaj wou hada hadi b'essbar ou yaaah
I have the patience and the longing, and this is my fate, oh, my heart

dellail wedjhed lewell dhakli ou zawej kassni wou yaaah
The night whispers to me and reminds me of my pain and how I married someone who broke me

ahha ya ya lili yah ya lili yay ya lili ya lilil ou hahhhh
Oh, my dear Lili, yes, Lili, yay, Lili, or Lillil, oh

ahhh jat techki wou dememe ah mechi ha el hem ha ha yah dellali malgiha wou nahkilha eh souhaya
Ah, she came crying and moaning, oh, don't go, don't go, oh, my heart received her and calmed her down

eeeeehhhhhhh ou ya

My heart beats and my soul is on fire, oh, my dear Lili, oh, my heart, oh, my dear Lili
