For my freinds who dont understand the Berber language, this is a summary translation of the song: A wolf comes upon a lamb and, in order to justify taking its life, accuses it of various misdemeanours, all of which the lamb proves to be impossible. Losing patience, it says the offences must have been committed by someone else in the family and that it does not propose to delay its meal by enquiring any further about the matter. The morals drawn are that the tyrant can always find an excuse for his tyranny and that the unjust will not listen to the reasoning of the innocent. A variant story attributed to Aesop also exists in Greek sources and also the best song of Cheikh El Mahdi, a poet from Takerietz my Village.
