1. Oh noble Layla, my heart is tender for you
To you, to you O noble Layla

2. In my youth and into my old age I have been burdened by you
If only you had felt for me as I feel for you

3. I stayed up for you, the pleasant nights
Watching the star, my love sick heart wanders

4. And for you I composed the first songs
And for you I sang them under the roof

5. And I increased my passionate longing for you
As the lovesick increases their lament for the beloved

6. And from my passion, passions were ignited
For you in hearts that before had no passion

7. I sailed the turbulent seas to reach you
Crossing perilous waves tossed to and fro

8. How many barren lands I crossed
Where the lost wander fearful seas

9. I reached Tanuf wandering lost to lost
To it like the sky I sailed around Tanuf

10. So how can I bear farewell O Layla
When the farewell of love has burdened me with its kinds
