“Ma Lune” is Zaho’s heartfelt love letter to the person who keeps her orbit steady. She looks back on a childhood without riches, an exile far from her native Algeria, and the lonely glare of fame. Through all the chaos — the “douilles et les mines,” the critics’ stares, and the bruises of the heart — one constant light guides her: ma lune, her moon. This moon is lover, muse, and guardian rolled into one, inspiring the gold of her records and the words of her pen, giving her courage to face the mirror and see more than a lost child.
The song widens from an intimate confession to a universal wink at every listener. Zaho reminds us that chacun sa lune — everyone has their own guiding light, that special someone (or something) bright enough to illuminate cracked sidewalks and soothe old wounds. With atmospheric melodies and tender French-Arabic imagery, “Ma Lune” glows as an anthem of resilience, gratitude, and the quiet power of love that keeps us all from drifting into darkness.
