Qabl El-'Isha |
| Not before dinner sir |
| After dinner yes, yes |
| With who can I send my greetings to you |
| With my soul (literally «apple of the eye») or my heart? |
| Oh lighting send them my regards whenever you strike |
| When you were far away I used to hear your news |
| Now that you’re close I can’t stop looking at you |
| I won’t die, no I won’t die even if they bring the burial shroud I won’t |
| I’ll go down to the Straight Street market and have a coffin made |
| One nail made of silver and gold and the other nail of ruby |
| The people will be amazed when they see us both in the coffin |
| You have a apricot tree in your house and we have a peach tree in ours |
| The apricot tree has leaned towards the peach tree |
| (it makes a little more sense in Arabic, but to lean towards someone means to like them so it’s a play on words) |
| Quit coming and going |
| Oh lord give us some rain, the Earth is longing (also a metaphor) |
