سيدي وصالك [Sidi Wesalak] [English translation]

My Mister your closeness, deepened my longing for you

Your subtlety provoked more passion, but you're overlooking me

You are the breezes that sweeten my life

When will you notice me, show me compassion/(feel how I feel)?

Oh, your distance, took far too long, why? Light of my eye

Where's your affection for me, when we meet? Why?

My Mister, why so far? Is your heart someone else’s, or is it mine?

My eyes wish for nothing more than you being close to me day and night
