آ شتا تاتا تاتا
"Here in Morocco whenever it starts to rain, all the children who are outdoors start to chant the following song..." -Mohamed
"Here in Morocco whenever it starts to rain, all the children who are outdoors start to chant the following song..." -Mohamed
Oh rain, rain, rain,
Oh peasants' children,
Oh Mr. Bouzekri
Bake my bread early
To make my children dine,
They're in the judge's house
But the judge doesn't know.
آ شتا تاتا تاتا
آ وليدات الحراثة
آ المعلم بوزكري
طيب لي خبزي بكري
باش نعشي وليداتي
وليداتي عند القاضي
و القاضي ما جاب خبار
Oh rain, rain, rain,
Oh peasants' children,
Oh Mr. Bouzekri
Bake my bread early
To make my children dine,
They're in the judge's house
But the judge doesn't know.
Pronunciation:
Achta ta ta
A chta tata tata
A wlidat lherata
A lmaalm Bouzekri
Tybli khbzi bekri
Bach naachi wlidati
Wlidati aand lqadi
Wlqadi majab khebar
