Tékitoi

Tékitoi is a studio album released in 2004 by the Algerian musician Rachid Taha. The title is a nonstandard spelling of the French question "Tu es qui, toi?" which might be pronounced in speech as "T'es qui, toi?" and, in the context of this song, means "Who do you think you are?" informally.

The lyrics are mainly in French and Arabic. The booklet to the CD includes full sung texts in Arabic in romanization with French and English translations.

The album features guest appearances by Brian Eno, Christian Olivier, Kaha Beri, Julien Jacob, and Bruno Maman.

A video clip was made for "Tékitoi?"

On March 5, 2011, the song "Tékitoi?" was used on Saturday Night Live in a dancing French skit called "Les Jeunes de Paris."

    Out Of My Hands

    by: D-code

    I can't hold it any longer
    When I touch it, it makes me feel stronger
    I can't control it out of my hands
    And I don't fear it anymore
    Hanging on to the edge
    Being for the way from my sleep
    I shut my eyes
    I'm falling down deep
    Can you feel it move?
    Let it take you away
    Holding on too tight
    Trough the way of the night
    Nothing is impossible...impossible
    I'm hanging on to the edge
    Being for the way from my sleep
    I shut my eyes
    I'm falling down deep
    Can you feel it move?
    Let it take you away
    Holding on too tight
    Trough the way of the night
