The Hammadids were a Berber dynasty who ruled an area roughly corresponding to north-eastern modern Algeria for about a century and a half (1008–1152), until they were destroyed by the Almohads. Soon after coming to power, they rejected the Ismaili doctrine of the Fatimids, and returned to Maliki Sunnism, acknowledging the Abbasids as rightful Caliphs.
Their capital was at first Qalaat Beni Hammad, founded in 1007 and now a UNESCO World Heritage Site; when this was endangered by the Banu Hilal, a large Arab bedouin tribe, they moved to Béjaïa (1090).
In 1014 Hammad ibn Buluggin, a Berber who had been placed as governor of central Maghreb, declared himself independent from the Zirids, then ruling most of Maghreb from Morocco to Tunisia, and obtained the recognition from the Abbasid Caliph of Baghdad. The Zirids sent an army, but two years later a peace was signed, although the Zirid recognized the Hammadid legitimacy only in 1018.
Hammad founded a new capital in Qalaat Beni Hammad. With the Banu Hilal menace rising (spurred by the rival Fatimid caliphs of Egypt), they moved it to Béjaïa, which became one of the most prosperous cities in the medieval Mediterranean (1052).
Coming home today,
a season spent away,
it is hard for me to see,
hard for me to say.
I like your face,
but I can't anymore.
It was quite a time
and I'm sure that I'm
feeling very clear for me,
very clear for you.
I like your face,
but I can't anymore.
Let's do it again.
I will recall
there are things
I could have done.
I will recall
there are things
I should have shown.
Did you find the time
to keep us both in mind?
Did you wander far from me,
wander far from you?
I like your face,
but I can't anymore.
Let's do it again.
I will recall
there are things
I could have done.
I will recall
there are things
I should have shown.
To dream is not to say
I'll take it anyway,
a year is song enough for me,
yet here we are today.
I like your face,

Yeah, this song right here
Is about a young man
Who's endured a lot of twists and turns in his life
Cause he always kept his head up, stayed focused
This man's name is Mario Winans, listen
What makes you think I can't make it?
Put me to the test, I'll take it
I've been through more trials
But I've overcome all of them
And I've never been one for faking
I kept on moving and shaking
And that's how I made it
I've seen it all
But I never let no one
Tell me it's right, when it's wrong
Cause I heard it all before
And it gives me a reason to fight for
A right for, to do what I gotta do
All of my life
I was told that you had to go through
Just to get where you want
And if you come across a storm
You just gotta keep holding on, and stay strong
And do what you gotta do
Hey yo I came from the bottom, worked my way up
Ran wit big dudes, had to get my weight up
Now my cake up, now it's lights, cameras, make up
Trips to Jacob, foreign countries
Reminisce of times when we all was hungry
Now I made it, and all y'all niggaz can hate it
Seeing that I sound like Mase and
Knowning that I came from the basement
Did my own thing, so face it
Now they coming wit cases, now wit this hand I'm racist
I'm so close I can taste it
Sometimes I just wanna grab toast and take it
But I'm a keep moving and shaking
Stay true to my faith and
Una voz, comienzo, formación
En Lienzo frío, vidrio intento, día, luz, Enciendo
Diario...
Aun santuario, y su rosario, sin un Horario abecedario
Humedad, cediendo, de noción ardiendo,
Diario...
Cuerpo, tibio sueão, hora sin fragmento
Aun santuario, y su rosario, sin un Horario abecedario
Melodía, momento, celeste en viento, Sonoro,
encuentro, medida, eterno
Aun santuario, y su rosario, sin un Horario abecedario
Cuando la noche me tome
Y me lleve hacia atrás
No habrá luz, ni miradas
Ni destellos del mar
Y el día aparece
No verás el color
De mi corazón fuerte
Apagando el dolor
Que es esta humedad
Que siento
Un viento que arrasa adentro
Que es esta humedad
Que siento
Cuando la noche me tome
Y me lleve hacia atrás
Y si el día aparece
No verás el color
De mi corazón fuerte
Apagando el dolor
Que es esta humedad
Que siento
Un viento que arrasa adentro
Los días más cortos
Son los más largos,
Sin ti
Un lago de mármol,
Blanco
De comienzo a fin
Hey baby it looks like maybe
I come home today
Oh momma you know I wanna
Come home today
It just ain’t right night after night
You on your own all alone
It looks like maybe
I come home today
Hey sweetie I know you need me
I need you that way
It just ain’t right night after night
You on your own all alone
All alone
Hey baby it looks like maybe
I come home today
You know it momma how I wanna
