LYRICS TRANSLATION ( ENGLISH ) :
Mimoun Grind
The bird sprinkled
A beautiful thing for her little chicks
Take my uncle, and you my aunt
Father and you my mother
Everyone taste
Dear family eat, fill your belly
And slap the one would judge
Mimoun Grind
The bird sprinkled
A beautiful thing for her little chicks
We mentioned god
And ate with our right hand
But we walked in our left side
Our feet dried up when we crossed the valley
That one who dropped it
You try to carry it
Mimoun Grind
The bird sprinkled
A beautiful thing for her little chicks
We planted roses
And harvested thorns
Legs are paralyzed
For moving forward in future
Hearts become blind
They no longer see light
The roses were thirsty
With no value
Mimoun Grind
The bird sprinkled
A beautiful thing for her little chicks
