The candle, a song by Algerian troubadour, Kamel Messaoudi . This song was introduced to me by an Algerian in London and even though I have no idea what Kamel is saying.. I know it must be beautiful.. HEY ALGERIANS.. translate the lyrics in the comment boxes
This is one of the greatest Algerian jewish singer who became a legend in Paris after his exile there in the 1960's . He is singing in Darja, Algerian dialect with throws people off as far as his origin but he is Jewish
I found this song on a compilation labeled ALGERIA'S Greatest Songs. I decided that this is probably a modern interpretation of a much older song but I figured that all the Algerians would know it. If you know the origins of this song or any information about it, please feel free to comment.
