«Kenza, o ma fille
Ne pleure pas
La raison pour laquelle, nous sommes tombes
C'est l'Algerie de demain
Kenza, o ma fille
Ne pleure pas»
........MATOUB Lounes
On 25 June, 1998 the politics of hate caught up with Lounes. His voice was silenced by a murderer's bullet. Was it done by an Islamist? The government? Does it really matter who? His voice was silenced, but his message remains....
do not cry.
The reason for which we fall,
it is the Algeria of tomorrow.
Kenza my daughter,
do not cry.
