(daughter Ghaliba)- Please, open the door, Daddy, my doo-dah Daddy my doo-dah (father behind the door) -Clink together your bracelets if that's you my daughter Ghaliba (daughter Ghaliba)- I'm scared of the ogre of the forest, daddy my doo-dah Daddy my doo-dah (father, behind the door) -And I'm scared too, my daughter Ghaliba Granddad wrapped in his burnous Heats up by the fireplace his son must earn his living thinking about tomorrow Daughter-in-law behind the weaving loom pulls up the threads Children around grandma listen to ancient tales When the snow covers the doorsteps and the slops boil in the pots and the villagers dream of spring while the moon and the stars are hiding and that the oak logs in the fire replace the branches All the household gathers and listens to ancient tales Please, open the door, Daddy, my doo-dah Daddy my doo-dah Clink together your bracelets if that's you my daughter Ghaliba I'm scared of the ogre of the forest, daddy my doo-dah Daddy my doo-dah And I'm scared too, my daughter Ghaliba Credits Song: Kabyle folk song Artists: Idir & Dania Ben Sassi Text & translation: moony on lyricstranslate.com Music video: Courtesy of MLP MUSIC Selected by: Henry Muldrow Copyright: Fair use principle, for educational purposes. | |
