Ya Rayah performed by Shantel. The song is originally from Dahmane El Harrachi.
Sorry I couldn’t find the lyrics in Romani, I’ll keep on trying!
Translation:
Hey departing Traveler, where are you heading?
Your journey is bound to failure…
How many travelers before you…
Have sought the path with similar results?
How many cities and deserts have I roamed?
How much time have I wasted
Touring from one place to another?
Oh lost one, no matter how much you run away
Your destiny will end in exhaustion…
Time has passed you by…
And you have yet to notice it.
Original lyrics in arabic:
Ya rayah win msafar trouh taâya wa twali
Ch’hal nadmou laâbad el ghaflin qablak ou qabli
Ch’hal cheft al bouldan lâamrine wa lber al khali
Ch’hal dhiyaât wqat ch’hal tzid mazal ou t’khali
Ya lghayeb fi bled ennas ch’hal taâya ma tadjri
Tzid waâd el qoudra wala zmane wenta ma tedri
Aâlach qalbek hzine waâlach hakda ki zawali
Matdoum achadda wila tzid taâlem ou tabni
maydoumou layyam wala ydoum seghrek ou seghri
Ya hlil ou meskine li ghab saâdou ki zahri
Ya msafer naâtik oussaayti addiha el bakri
Chouf ma yeslah bik qbal ma tbiî ou ma techri
Ya nnayem djani khabrek ma sralek ma srali
Hakdha rad el qalb bel djbine sabhane el âali
