What will he tell us?
What has he revealed?
He says: "whatever happens
The same has occurred in the past
Nothing is new
The sky like a vault
Covers the world
And observes all since creation
It watched the days build the centuries
It saw what has happened
It sees what is happening
It saw men
Killing other men
It saw the mistakes of men
And sees them persisting in error
Whatever happens
The same has occurred in the past
Nothing is new
What time builds
Time demolishes
What was good
Becomes evil
What was evil
Becomes good
Life turns
Redistributing the roles
«Mix it and it will become clear...»
So they say to us
But comes after the turmoil
What we do not wish for
Whatever happens
The same has occurred in the past
Nothing is new
Justice is just a word
A companion of Utopia
Many are those who run after it
And never find it
Arbitrary power is ancestral
It was there since the beginning
It lives in you
Fed by your fear
It nourishes
He who craves greatness
It appears to you as intelligent
When it is there to harm you
Whatever happens
The same has occurred in the past
Nothing is new
The needy is pitied
He doesn't find respite
The torments strike him down
And eat away at his carcass
The rich man is pitied
He has in excess
Goods which he holds
And becomes alienated
The wise is pitied
His brain is tormented
Those who see him
Do not understand
Whatever happens
The same has occurred in the past
Nothing is new
Beauty is a marvel
For those who are young
They look at it with different eyes
Beauty waits for their gaze
To mature and deepen
But the young are dazzled
And beauty leaves in despair
When old age comes
And restarts looking for it
Hoping to see it
But hope is useless
Whatever happens
The same has occurred in the past
Nothing is new
When strength is present
Wisdom is lacking
When wisdom is present,
Strength has already left.
The mistakes of youth
Forge the regrets of old age
This is, and will be
And can't be avoided
Who is looking for peace
Can't find its trace
Who's got peace
Is unaware of its value
Whatever happens
The same has occurred in the past
Nothing is new
Pure water
washes you
The water is soiled
Yet you are purified
You soil those
Who give you purity
You untie and free
Those who cultivate evil
Why do you want
to know everything
Just stay as you are
And you life will be fulfilled
Whatever happens
The same has occurred in the past
Nothing is new..."
The kabyle, can talk about the past knowingly.
