Douha Alia, by Cheb Mami

Cheb Mami - Douha  Alia - Song From 100% Arabica
دوها عليــــــا     البـولـيــســيــا
جيبولى مـالـي     ديــك غـزالـي
جـبـولها الأتـو     آه ، ويـدوهـــا
شحال قدينا نصبرونشرب المر؟
آه ، دوها عليا     البـولـيــســيــا
والحب التانـي     ما هو فـــآنـي
They took her from me; The policemen
Bring me "Mali"; bring me "Mali, my soul mate.
They took her in a police car
And send her far away
How long should I be patient for?
How long should I continue to swallowing bitter Oh, they took her from me; the policemen
Oh my Second love, didn't last
