'you, the one leaving') is an Algerian chaâbi song written and performed in 1973 by Dahmane El Harrachi (Amrani Abderrahmane).
In September 1998, Taha performed the song live with fellow Algerian singers Khaled and Faudel at the Palais omnisports de Paris-Bercy in Paris, France.
There have been also multiple renditions of Ya Rayah by different artists in different languages including Hebrew, Hindi, Turkish, Greek ("Ki an se thelo" by George Dalaras), Russian ( "Ya Rayah" by Dobranotch) and Serbian ("Jako, jako slabo srce zavodiš" by Zdravko Čolić).
In January 2012, it was covered again by the Algerian singer Amel Bouchoucha (Fady Bitar & The AB Brothers), using African dance beats and Berber sounds, bringing the song closer to its roots.
In 2016 a French artist, John Mamann, released a song J’suis Comme Toi (Ya Rayah) in collaboration with Lartiste and Rim’K which is an interpolation of the original.
