Yeah! El Matador! Hein! Check!
Apelle-moi Rhalouche! Hein, rap lourd! Check!
Refrain :
Rhoya l'rorba sreba stena chouiya koulchi mektoub
Radwa berh ou lioum rhoya heref koulchi mektoub
El wakt iy fout heya, ou rhabi iy chouff heya
El waht iy fout heya, ou rhabi iy chouff heya

Rif Rahba t'selek, sahbi win t'rorh,
Kahwa garro dorhane, fil bar tegraod rit tdorh
L'rorba sreba li jew mel bled chafou
Rhoukouma rahi t'hagar besef ness dahikou
La ma hendekch el zahar sbar chouiya yelkah
Rhadma mekech goudem el hait fi lil ou sbah
Rhiouma ou Rhdama, Selem ou bessalama
Gherh y rhamou rasshoum be selerha joya me ketama!

Refrain:
Rhoya l'rorba sreba stena chouiya koulchi mektoub
Radwa berh ou lioum rhoya heref koulchi mektoub
El wakt iy fout heya, ou rhabi iy chouff heya
El waht iy fout heya, ou rhabi iy chouff heya

Ri bellek morak me tchoufch ri goudem
T'ramed hainek tkekha tebrer kelih iy fout hem
Allah oy hdina el kbar ou l'srarh woulew el jnoun
Dawa tbedlet mechi kif kif berh ou lioum
Zrid hana bel kwaret galouli roh
Galouli herlech tet meslim ou herlech a tsoum
Djazayri tah sah sahbi ki rak
Zadwani kima billa houdoud lioum rirh hak!

Refrain:
Rhoya l'rorba sreba stena chouiya koulchi mektoub
Radwa berh ou lioum rhoya heref koulchi mektoub
El wakt iy fout heya, ou rhabi iy chouff heya
El waht iy fout heya, ou rhabi iy chouff heya

Wahrane, heywa! Relizane, heywa!
Mestralem, heywa! Dzeyirr, heywa!

Casa, heywa! Oujda, heywa!
Marrakech, heywa! Rabat, heywa!

Rhoya, ou rhabi iy chouff heya!

Etre une minorité visible, c'est pas un avantage
J'en ai la preuve quand j'essaie de faire de l'auto-stop quand je tombe en panne
J'rappe en arabe pas de voyelle ni de consonne
Difficile de traduire meme si tu ramenes Nelson Monfort
On chante nos joies
Nos peines ainsi que nos coups de blues
Sachant que Marine Le Pen n'appellera jamais son fils Mouloud
Ca represente les bledars
Bercés avec youyous et les heywas !

Refrain: (X2)
Rhoya l'rorba sreba stena chouiya koulchi mektoub
Radwa berh ou lioum rhoya heref koulchi mektoub
El wakt iy fout heya, ou rhabi iy chouff heya
El waht iy fout heya, ou rhabi iy chouff heya
