Abstract
The subject of my paper is the Berber oral literature of central Morocco, the linguistic area of the Tamazight dialect: the healing cantilenas sung by women. These songs are sort of melodies, laments in the usual sense of monotonous and melancholy songs. The monotony lies in the melody and rhythm of the poetic verses sung, and the melancholy is due to their content, which generally relates to the things of life : sorrow, pain due to disappointed love, or simply feelings of nostalgia and sadness.
