Arhegh Attay | Nostalgie du thé | Nostalgia for tea

Cette chanson est une description de la vie Tamashek autour du thé. Le thé est l'endroit où l'on se rassemble avec ses proches. Il y a une nostalgie qui vient à l'heure du thé alors que nous nous souvenons et discutons de l'amour que nous avons pour ceux qui ne sont pas réunis avec nous. Bien que celui que nous aimons soit loin, nos chameaux bien équipés nous permettent de traverser le désert, un voyage de trois jours, juste pour voir leur visage et partager une tasse de thé.

This song is a description of the life of the Tamashek that is centered around tea. Tea is where one gathers with loved ones. There is a nostalgia that comes at tea time as we remember and discuss the love we have for those who are not gathered with us. Though the one we love may be far, our strong, trustworthy camels enable us to cross the desert, a three day journey, just to see their face and share a cup of tea.

lyrics

Arhegh attay, megh aliqqam ehƏmé
Arhegh tekley, arhegh oughel ehƏmé
Tegdal-ahi yama tarik soughen ehƏmé
Eqqal-dati, akal boughƏl ehƏmé
Legh tamatin ehƏmé
Arghan meddan ehƏmé
Karad chilan hi d’assessan ehƏmé
Eri zaghan ehƏmé
Ya ili ghaydan ehƏmé
Yama d-ili lokiyan ehƏmé

Tamiditin s-Əslegh tƏtram ehƏmé
TƏki kalan win dagh dagh wan ehƏmé
Ehaf aglat hassin tan-nam ehƏmé
Nak tarhanin n-arha taxdem ehƏmé
Oulhin asnin ya ibas exdam ehƏmé
