Djurdjura - Djur Djura - Fihel Asirem - You Must Act

This is a traditional Algerian folk song and there are many versions of it out there. I really enjoy Djur Djura's version of it maintaining its true gypsy-folk flavour.

Lyrics:

One day you awaken
And discover
That you have another day
To live in poverty
To add to the day before.
You dicover that everything
Has become confusing
Everywhere you turn
To make twenty
There's still nineteen to go.
You see with fury-
What path should you choose?

Wake-up, shake yourself
Two times rather than once
Until your worries
Come to an end.
You who sit doing nothing
You should neither sleep
nor relax.

Thanks for sharing the lyrics with us.. I`m not from Algerie, but I really love Kabyle-music, especially from Djur Djura. 

So keep up the good work! :-)
