This song was most likely composed in 1871 and references the exile of Algerians to New Caledonia and how much they suffered being away from Algeria. The french sent Algerians to New Caledonia, most were Kabilye and participated in uprisings against the French Army. France responded by exiling them to far away French possesions. This song YA MENFI has been covered by many artists. MENFI means "exile".
