lyrics

‎آمامان

‎في قاع البير غاطس في يدّه سحابة
‎مبحاح يصيح انا هوّ كبير الحارة
‎مسؤول على الفول و ڤرونه صابة
‎صوته عربيد و كلامه هواء في شكارة

‎المعلوم مردوم الحناك شقالة
‎تلفاز و الڤاز و المرقة كيف العادة

‎آمامان آمامان يابا
‎آمامان آمامان يابا

‎كي يموت الحوت يمشي لسحّارة
‎تمنّيه تبليه يبيع الصنّارة لفارة
‎مديون يدور يبيعك بقراضة
‎و يلوم عليك تي شبيك جيت في العراضة

‎مركوب عليه على خوه يركب‫:‬ و يقول ملعوبة
‎كي تمسّه يثور‫:‬ يغير على العروبة

‎آمامان آمامان يابا
‎آمامان آمامان يابا



Amaman dépeint un prototype du citoyen arabe poussé dans ses excès, une caricature. C’est l’histoire d’un homme qui s’enfonce au fond d’un puits tout en continuant à tenir son parapluie, et du fond du puits il continue à crier qu’il est le maître des rations de pois chiche, qu’il est “l’ancien” du quartier. La liseuse de bonne fortune lui a confié qu’il était choisi, qu’elle lui a trouvé une femme qui demande à être nourrie, qu’il était l’exception pour ce qui est du droit de tricher et de voler, de marcher sur son prochain, mais que les autres avaient intérêt à bien se tenir devant lui car il était le défenseur de l’Arabité.
“Aman” en tunisien veut dire “pitié!”, “amaman” n’existe pas, c’est comme dire “Pipitié!”...
