Living In Algeria
© May 1979 – Raji Abuzalaf

Living in Algeria
Like a bird, it’s a place where I can fly
There’s the sea and the big, bright sun
There’s a feeling I know that’s just begun

I wanna share it with you, my friend
Never givin’ it up, never show no end
I wanna share it with you, my friend
I’m gonna think it aloud, I’m gonna say it again

I wanna share it with you, my friend
Never givin’ it up, never show no end
I wanna share it with you, my friend
I’m gonna think it aloud, I’m gonna say it again

J’habite en Algerie
Comme l’oiseau, je peux voler ici
Il y a la mer et le grand soleil
Les sentiments qui viennent de commencer

Je le partage avec toi, mon copain
Jamais le quitter, renonce jamais le fin
Je le partage avec toi, mon ami
Je penserai a haute voix et encore, je te dit

Je le partage avec toi, mon copain
Jamais le quitter, renonce jamais le fin
Je le partage avec toi, mon ami
Je penserai a haute voix et encore, je te dit

I wanna share it with you, my friend
Never givin’ it up, never show no end
I wanna share it with you, my friend
I’m gonna think it aloud, I’m gonna sing it in French

Je le partage avec toi, mon copain
Jamais le quitter, renonce jamais le fin
Je le partage avec toi, mon ami
Je penserai a haute voix et encore, je te dit

Special Songs

Living In Algeria

This creative team met back in high school in Houston, Texas in 1969. They became friends quickly and discovered a unique synergy early on – songwriting. Keith manifested his expressions mostly in the area of lyrics, while Raji fashioned his creativity through melodies and arrangements.

The number of songs that they generated as young teens in a short period of time was incredible. What was even more astonishing was that neither of them could read a musical note, and yet they were able to compose lyrics, tunes, chords, beats, and develop sophisticated arrangements.

School, work, marriage, children, and associations with other bands threw them onto separate life paths. Raji continued composing with other bands and on his own, while Keith officially took a long hiatus.

The team temporarily regrouped in the early 1980’s for a few profound Christian musical offerings. Eventually, Raji found the time and energy to record many of their earlier songs and publish them – both in several of his novels and on soundcloud.com. Then in late 2021 they regrouped once more to continue their creative journey together.
