About a song my mother loved.

 

Il fut un temps maman chantait

Notre maison en résonnait

Nous écoutions avec plaisir

Et en gardons le souvenir

 

Aujourd’hui ces vielles chansons

Nous parviennent à la maison

Grâce à la technologie

Qui leur donne une nouvelle vie

 

« Yamma, yamma ya ghaliya »

Me rappelle que ma mère alla

Jusqu’à Gabes avec une amie

Et revint en chantant cette mélodie

 

Je ne t’oublie pas, Maman chérie

Tu m’as donné l’amour et la vie

Je pense à toi tous les jours

Tu es dans mon cœur pour toujours

English Translation:

There was a time mom sang

Our house resonated

We listened with pleasure

And keep it in mind

 

Today these old songs

We reach the house

Thanks to technology

Who gives them a new life

 

"Yamma, yamma ya ghaliya"

Remember that my mother went

Until Gabes with a friend

And came back singing this melody

 

I do not forget you, dear mom

You gave me love and life

I think about you every day

You are in my heart forever

-------------------------

A wondeful poetic tribute to mom! Bravo!
