Chorus: Shatta ya diniye ta zeed Mawsimna yihla. Tidfug my wa zari jdeed Mhaqlinta ya 'ala. Khilly 'a inek 'a dar 'a syaj illi killu zirar. Bukra shatwiye bit ruh wa mniltaga bi anwar. Yahla 'id wa dhawy 'id wa nizra wa nlim 'anaqid. Chorus: W nturny wa la tiba tfie tisrikny wahdi 'a mtul jam'atilek hurz i zhoor, jasmin, u mantur u fill zihr Byed u galb i byed. Ya khawfi laqeek ab'id. Chorus Wa ntruny bi huqul i reeh dinye 'anaqid tlawih. Khabiney bi fayet 'ainiyk. Mjarihny hibbek tajrih. Qulu zid u ghany u 'id ruh unzur ardth mwa'id. Chorus |
Chorus: Rain in abundance so that our crop will get sweet. Let the water rise for mor crops and so that our field will grow. Keep watch over the house and on the roses covered with buds. Tomorrow winter will be gone And we'll meet spring. Holidays come and go and we planet and pick grapes. Chorus: Wait for me and don't leave Me alone looking for you. I picked you a bouquet of flowers, jasmin, snapdragons, and gardenias. With flowers in one hand, my heart in the other, I fear of finding you far away. Chorus Wait for me in the windy plain where the grapes are nearly ripe. Hide me in the shade of your eyes. My love for you torments me. Tell me again and again when we will meet at our special place.
