Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Orchestre National de Barbès's song "Savon" describe a narrative of struggle, resistance, and resilience in the face of adversity. The first verse tells of the difficulty of living in poverty ("Maghouzif la3mer n3ach"), and the harsh obstacles that must be overcome ("Adhedjedjghen oussaniw"). The chorus, sung in the Tamazight language, speaks to the importance of perseverance and determination - "Feredj arebbi feredj" ("persevere, our Lord, persevere"), and the need to stay strong in the face of adversity.


The second verse introduces a character named "Thizyaw ak thezwedj" who is searching for justice amidst an unjust world ("3adagh essrahagh lessfendj?"). The next lines grapple with the reality of life's struggles, and question whether there is any transcendent meaning to be found in the midst of such difficulties. However, the final two lines express a sense of hope, that "wine imouthen" (someone will understand), suggesting that even in the darkest moments, there is always the possibility of finding connection and understanding.


Overall, "Savon" is a deeply emotional and poetic song that speaks to the universal experience of human suffering and resilience. Through its powerful lyrics and captivating melody, it inspires listeners to stay strong in the face of adversity, and to never lose hope.

Quel belle chanson! Quel beau souvenir d'un des meilleurs albums de musique algérienne de ces dix dernières années! Ce clip montre les prémices de l'ONB et de Louzine. On apperçoit même Cheikh Sidi Bémol à la guitare et Djilali en choriste et qarqabouiste!
