1. On the island there is a sugarcane press
Where they squeeze out the peeled cane

2. And make it into fantastic sugar
How blessed it is in homes

3. Oh, if only it were free, without cost
I wouldn't remain oppressed

4. Look, the sugar is real, yet I must return
With my broken heart

5. O Mefales, go and be content with looking
Don't be greedy

6. And watch the sea with its waves flowing
With no obstacle

7. Take and divide, fill up your basket, no objection
Its water isn't forbidden

8. So you work in it with selling and scattering
And with you a constitution

9. O raven, why did they tie you to the ladder
By the garden's wall

10. While you stand still like wood
Not laying an egg

11. You have two wings yet you don't fly
From the edge of the pond

12. But your excuse for standing is clear
Your father wasn't a bird

13. The mosque's minaret above it has rounds
Standing over the roofs before us

14. As if they were lighthouses
Under it is the sea, and its mast on top

15. Of carved wood
What do you think, my friends, about this

16. I wonder, did you understand?
