Updated media and translation Souad Massi - Storyteller Oh storyteller tell us a story Make it a tale Tell me about the people of old Tell me about 1001 Nights And about Lunja the daughter of the Ghoul And about the son of the Sultan I'm about to tell a story (I'm just told that this phrase--hajeetak majeetak--is what is said before you tell a story, I have no idea what it could mean) Take us far from this world I'm about to tell a story Everyone of us has a story in his heart Narrate and forget we're adults In your mind we're young Tell us about heaven and hell About the bird that never flew in his life Help us understand the meaning of the world Oh storyteller, tell it just as they told you Don't add anything, don't leave anything out We could see into your mind Narrate to make us forget this time Leave us in the world of once upon a time سعاد ماسي - راوي يا راوي حكي حكاية مادابك تكون رواية حكي لي على ناس الزمان ح كي لي على ألف ليلة وليلة وعلى لنجة بنت ال...
