Sensational Algerian vocalist Souad Massi and amazing instrumentalists with the song “Deb” (Heartbroken).

The translated lyrics are divine…:

Deb (Heartbroken)

If I were a bird I would fly in the sky
If I were a little bird or a little pigeon
I would travel over mountains and rivers
Maybe, in this very moment,
I’d manage to forget
My pains
My heart has molten away
My heart, that one of mine

If I were a wave wandering from sea to sea
If I were a fish I’d keep on traveling
I would travel over mountains and rivers
Maybe in this very moment
I’d manage to forget
My pains
My heart has molten away
My heart, that one of mine

If I were a leaf wandering from one place to another
I let myself be carried away by the wind before the fall,
I leave this garden
I would travel over mountains and rivers
Maybe, in this very moment,
I’d manage to forget
My pains
My heart has molten away
My heart, that one of mine

About Souad Massi (سعاد ماسي), born August 23, 1972, is an Algerian singer, songwriter and guitarist. She began her career performing in the Kabyle political rock band Atakor, before leaving the country following a series of death threats. In 1999, Massi performed at theFemmes d’Algerie concert in Paris, which led to a recording contract with Island Records.

Massi’s music, which prominently features the acoustic guitar, displays Western musical style influences such as rock, country or the Portuguese fado but sometimes incorporates oriental musical influences and oriental instruments like the oud as well as African musical stylings. Massi sings in Algerian Arabic, French, and occasionally English and Kabyle (Berber language), often employing multiple languages in the same song
