1. Rise up and pour me a drink before the birds start chirping,
For I see the dawn has brought good tidings with its call.

2. A golden wine from aged barrels in Beirut,
Throwing the repentant into delirium and raving madness.

3. It intoxicated the revelers with a cup that held a sweet delight,
Binding them tipsy before the heat of noon could sneak up and spoil the fun.

4. Turn it gently rightwards as we drink it,
Like a witness standing before a crooked judge.
