Raoui (Storyteller) Lyrics

ya rawi hki hkaya
madabik tkoun rwaya,
hkili 3ala nass zman
hkili 3ala alf lila w lila
w3ala loundja bin lghoula

wadina b3id men hadi denya

kol wahed menna fkalbou hkaya (*2)

hki wensa beli hna kbar
fi balek beli rana sghar
hkilna 3la jenna hkilna 3la nar,
3ala ter 3omro ma tar

kol wahed menna fkalbo hkaya (*2)
ya rawi hki kima hkawlek

kayen nechfaw 3la balek
hki nassina fhad zman
khalina fkan yamakan (fi kan yamakan)
hadjitek, madjitek,
dina b3id mhadi denya
hadjitek, madjitek
kol wahed menna fkalbo hkaya (*2)
