Mandanga Lyrics by Gnawa Diffusion

Bab El Oued Kingston

0

Que la paix soit sur vous
On m'à pousse à vous
On m'à pousse vers les gens
Comme on tendrait une coupe

La honte, je la vois
Enchaînée à l'histoire
Les vents et le temps
Auront beau tourner

Est-ce la folie réele en ce lieu?
Ou peut-ètre, un exemple?
Le voile est en haillons
Les coutures lâchent
Le croissant est en boule
Et l'épee rouille du symbole

J'implore Mandagabo
Le Marabout, le saint home
Brûlures à vif
Toujours plus
Palier par palier
Apres une marche
Plus de mystère
Plus de doute
C'est limpide
Ou presque?
Un tamis? Sur du noir?
Ou une sombre passoire?
Une seule parole?
Et des mots en l'air

L'enfer et les anges
C'est l'affair des arabes
Paradis epiciers
Bismi'llah dinarl
Prier, occult, hasards
Incultes
Laissez le charme
A qui le goûte
Et la beuté
Aux belles

[Refrain]
Votre balance
Fait tanguer l'endroit
Mais mogador
Agite les corps
Las bas, les coeurs
De pierres tombales
Tombent
Et deviennent poussière
Au pied des murs
Parmi les vivants
Les enfants
De la ruelle
Sont enchaînés
A la vie
Les fils du quartier
Dansent la folie
Devant leurs portes
