Description
Ma publication s'intitule "Yemma" (mère en kabyle). Il s'agit du portrait de celle qui m'a donné le jour et à qui je souhaite rendre à travers son portrait numérique le plus profond hommage pour toute l'affection et pour tout l'amour que mes frères, mes soeurs et moi-même avons reçu d'elle. Je sais que le sillon du temps a gravé sa sinistre présence sur son visage mais elle reste toujours aussi belle dans mon coeur qu'à ses vingt ans. Aussi loin que mes souvenirs remontent, ces quelques vers surgissent d'eux-même :
"Quand il faisait nuit, tu étais là
Quand il faisait froid, tu étais là
Quand j'avais faim, Quand j'avais peur
Quand je ne croyais qu'au malheur, tu étais là."
Ce portrait plein de nostalgie doit beaucoup à la chanson de Pierre Bachelet "Embrasse-la" :

dont voici les paroles :
"
De cantines en écoles elle m'a traîné
De fièvres en rougeoles elle m'a veillé
C'est sur les plages douces de son corps
Que je suis né sans trop d'effort
Et dès les premiers mots
Elle m'a donné ma langue maternelle
Avec un peu d'accent tombé du ciel
Puis les ans sont passés à notre insu
Quand je la vois trotte menu
Une voix me dit:
Refrain
Embrasse-La
Chante-la
Protège-la
Elle a les yeux et le coeur lilas
Embrasse-La
Chante-la
Protège-la
Elle a les cheveux en hiver déjà
Bien sûr je suis parti vers les quinze ans
Je la revois d'ici pauvre maman
Quand je suis revenu elle n'a rien dit
Elle avait juste un peu vieilli
Et j'ai compris
Refrain
Et quand je vais la voir chaque semaine
Qu'elle lit dans mon regard ma vie mes peines
Elle se fait d'un dîner une tendre fête
Mais en pensant demain peut-être
Je partirai
Refrain, x2
"

My publication is called "Yemma" (mother in Kabyle). This is the portrait of the one who gave birth to me and to whom I wish to pay, through her digital portrait, the deepest homage for all the affection and for all the love that my brothers, my sisters and myself received from her. I know that the furrow of time has engraved her sinister presence on her face, but she still remains as beautiful in my heart as when she was young. As far as I can remember, these few verses arise on their own:
"When it was dark you were here
When it was cold you were here
When I was hungry, When I was afraid
When I only believed in misfortune, you were here. "
This portrait full of nostalgia owes a lot to the song by Pierre Bachelet "Embrasse-la":

whose words are:
"
Kiss her
From canteen to school she dragged me
From fevers to measles she watched over me
And on the soft shores of her body
I came to life
With little effort
And with her first words
She gave me my mother tongue
With a slight accent, fallen from the sky
Then years followed without us knowing
When I watch her trotting around
A voice tells me
Kiss her
Praise her
Protect her
Her eyes and her heart are lilac
Kiss her
Praise her
Protect her
Her hair is already in winter
Of course I left her, I was about fifteen
It's as if I could see once more the scene, poor mother
When I came back, she did not say a word
She was just a little older
And I understood
Kiss her
Praise her
Protect her
Her eyes and her heart are lilac
Kiss her
Praise her
Protect her
Her hair is already in winter
And when I visit her every week
She is able to read in my eyes my life, my sorrows
From a simple dinner she makes a celebration
Though thinking
Perhaps tomorrow
I shall be gone
Kiss her
Praise her
Protect her
Her eyes and her heart are lilac
Kiss her
Praise her
Protect her
Her hair is already in winter
