Djurdjura - Djur Djura - A Nanna - My Elder Sister

Djur Djura is an Algerian singer who immmigrated to France. She blends tradtional Algerian music with a zeal of fusion and world. Her lyrics emphasize women's rights and equality, which she personally experienced many struggles with back in Algeria. She is a natural saprano and has a lovely voice.

Lyrics:

He said, "I am an orphan,
My lot is a beggar's lot."
So I held out my hand to him.
Are not our roots the same?
Whether your from Barbes
Or Nanterre or Aubervilliers
My brother
You will always be
The stranger
He said, "Which road must I take?
Here, I feel lost
Please,
I beg you,
Take me with you."
And then my heart broke.
Whether your from Barbes...
He said, "My country is a dream.
But which door must I open?
I am rootless."

WOW! what a beatiful voice!

i have read that her family treated her badly especially her brother because she refused to be a traditional berber woman. She wants to be like Kahina, an amazigh woman quine who aroused her people against the Muslim Arab expansion into North Africa in the 680s...

I think this song reflects two contrasting choices of life one of Djura and the other of her brother. Please correct me if i am wrong..

I believe that is correct but glad she is safe and sound in France- there is a great live version of her singing- I have it in my favorites.
