1. Damietta, oh what good luck belongs to you
If it comes to pass

2. A banana, peeled in bowls of honey
Has descended

3. I fell in love with bananas
If one comes to eat of it

4. And if it goes I ask after it
Whoever meets with it

5. How high did your banana rise in its protected sleeve
On the branches

6. And how much did my longing for it flow
When it sits

7. In the bowls
And the breaking is binding for me

8. If I am not determined
To show it affection I am resolved

9. To meet with it
May God not deprive me of your traveling star

10. It traveled
And my heart from its torment remained in danger

11. If it endangered
Taking my drums and belongings

12. And residing with the banana, settled or departed
May meeting with it endure
