Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Ramenez-moi vers les miens en mon pays bien aimé
En ce pays étranger de vous j’ai souvenance
Douce terre ou je suis né bois ou court mon enfance
Et lorsque je me souviens la nostalgie m’étreint
Vous que l’on dit être saint faites que je retrouve les miens
Dans les fortes tapissées de lavande et de bruyères
En revoir les laboureurs leurs charrues dessinant
Des sillons ou leur labeur féconde de belles moissons
J’aimerais au bord de rivière entendre a nouveau le chant
Des insouciantes lavandières rythmant celui du torrent
Tawes je veux l’apercevoir remontant de la fontaine
Portant sur son front d’ivoire une cruche d’eau vive plaine
Ah c’que j’ai mal de l’Algérie qu’à contre cœur j’ai quitté
Ce n’est vraiment pas une vie de subir l’exil forcé
Loin de mon très cher pays pesant est ma nostalgie
Mon dieu faites je vous prie que je revois mon Algérie
